Immigration & Border
Kris Mayes frames border security as a federal responsibility and says she will coordinate with state, local, and federal law enforcement to target cartels involved in drug, weapons, and human trafficking. Her campaign messaging emphasizes stopping fentanyl and securing the border through multi-agency enforcement rather than broad immigration restrictions.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Kris Mayes supports legal abortion access and says the government should not interfere with reproductive decisions between women and their healthcare providers. Her campaign position also says she will not prosecute doctors or patients for abortion care and will fight to protect reproductive freedom under the Arizona Constitution. As attorney general, she has supported efforts aligned with abortion rights, including litigation challenging older abortion restrictions after Arizona voters approved constitutional protections.
Climate & Energy
Kris Mayes has supported aggressive clean-energy and energy-efficiency policies in Arizona, including co-authoring the state Renewable Energy Standard and requiring utilities to produce more clean energy such as solar and wind. As attorney general, she has opposed efforts to repeal energy-efficiency and renewable-energy rules and has sued to block restrictions on wind energy development.
Public Safety & Guns
Kris Mayes has opposed enacting additional state-level firearm restrictions beyond current Arizona law. At the same time, her public record also reflects support for commonsense gun safety measures, including extreme risk protection laws, tighter treatment of ghost guns, and stronger penalties for gun traffickers.
