Arizona is a key swing state, with closely contested races highlighting its importance in U.S.
elections. In the most recent cycle, its narrow margins reaffirmed its role as a critical battleground, while ongoing attention to voting rights and its role in the frontline defense of democracy has kept the state in the national spotlight.

the forefront of the fight to safeguard our democratic processes.

ABOUT THE SECRETARY

In 2022, Adrian Fontes was elected as Arizona's 21st Secretary of State. Secretary Fontes is a
proud Arizona native, an honorable veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and the father of
three daughters, who has spent a lifetime fighting for justice and defending our Democracy.
Secretary Fontes served on active duty from 1992 to 1996 and was nominated for a meritorious
commission. His service to our country taught him the importance of dedication, discipline, and
sacrifice to forcefully fight for the American dream.

After graduating from law school, Secretary Fontes spent his career advocating for justice and
fighting for those who are disadvantaged — first as a prosecutor with the Denver District
Attorney and then at the Maricopa County Attorneys office. He later led the International
Prosecution Unit at the Arizona Attorney Generals Office. He practiced law for 15 years before
running for office in 2016 when he was elected Maricopa County Recorder.

As Recorder, Secretary Fontes revolutionized the election system by ensuring that every eligible
Arizonan had the access they needed to vote. Adrian enhanced ballot tracking technology and
increased process transparency, winning recognition and awards from election organizations
across the country.

In 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 crisis and amidst violent protests, Maricopa County saw
record voter turnout, as well as record numbers of new voters registered for both parties.
Secretary Fontes later testified before Congress to inform them of threats facing election
officials.

Secretary Fontes is committed to preserving integrity in our elections, making voting easier for
registered voters, and ensuring that Arizona’s business community has a non-partisan partner in
the Secretary’s office.
