Every court that heard his claim to have won the AG's race in 2022 rejected it. But now Abe Hamadeh says he's looking for someone to run against the Mohave County judge who claims issued the first ruling against him "without considering the evidence." tucson.com/news/local/a...

He lost his race for Senate. But Mark Brnovich figured he was going to Serbia as US ambassador after being tapped earlier this year by Trump. Apparently that's not going to happen after White House, without explanation, withdrew the nomination. tucson.com/news/state-r...

Official results show he lost 2022 AG race to @azagmayes.bsky.social by 280 votes. That didn't stop Abe Hamadeh from filing multiple lawsuit to be declared the winner. Unsuccessful, now he's looking for someone to unseat the first judge who ruled against him. tucson.com/news/state-r...

So it turns out chief medical officer for AHCCCS has been without a valid medical license for months. Hobbs punts questions to agency. Agency says yeah, we know, we're working on it, but says it's because he renewal was sent to old address. tucson.com/news/state-r...

Her civil rights case over her speeding ticket against Tucson went nowhere. And now the city wants former Sen. Wadsack to cough up $7,838 in its legal costs. Her response to a media inquiry about that? "Pound sand." tucson.com/news/local/g...

Are you wont of the 750,000 Arizonans who got one of those 2023 state tax rebates? IRS tells 9th Circuit the $280M is subject to federal income tax because AZ lawmakers didn't follow guidelines for making it a true "rebate." Plus the poorest didn't qualify. tucson.com/news/local/s...
