Kris Mayes

Kris Mayes is the Attorney General of Arizona. She is currently newsworthy due to her involvement in several high-profile legal and political matters. Recently, Mayes filed criminal charges against Kalshi, a prediction markets platform, accusing it of operating an illegal gambling business by allowing bets on elections. This marks the first criminal case against Kalshi by a state. Additionally, Mayes is likely involved in matters related to a federal grand jury subpoena for Arizona's 2020 election records, as well as broader efforts by Democratic attorneys general to challenge actions of the Trump administration, such as the creation of new tariffs. Her actions reflect the increasing politicization of the Attorney General role and the legal battles shaping American politics.
