Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports reducing wasteful government spending and ensuring tax dollars are spent ‘wisely and conservatively’; promotes tax breaks and targeted tax credits to spur job creation and small-business growth. Positions emphasize stretching taxpayer dollars and incentivizing private-sector hiring rather than expanding government programs.
Immigration & Border
Supports enforcing immigration laws and fighting illegal immigration, framing it as impacting schools, health care, and public safety; emphasizes border security and related enforcement measures while not advancing maximal deportation or blanket asylum-restriction proposals in the cited statements.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has previously stated that reproductive decisions should be left to a woman, her family, and physicians and has identified as pro-choice; he has received endorsements from Planned Parenthood during prior campaigns. Recent campaign materials show mixed language about the Supreme Court returning the issue to the states but do not provide a clear shift to supporting strict bans.
Climate & Energy
Supports investment in clean renewable energy and local conservation measures; backed policies to require rainwater harvesting and plumbing for graywater reuse in new construction and has expressed support for regulatory measures on carbon-based emissions paired with funding for clean-energy jobs. Positions emphasize clean energy as a job-creation and energy-independence strategy while accepting transitional approaches rather than explicitly calling for a fossil-fuel phase-out.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports Second Amendment rights and positions the Attorney General as a defender of law enforcement; emphasizes backing police, mandatory AG review of declined felonious-assault-on-first-responder charges, and criticizes officials perceived as undermining law enforcement. Public statements link support for gun rights to support for public safety and law enforcement.
News
Rodney Glassman is in the news because Arizona’s attorney general has filed criminal charges against Kalshi over election betting, a case that could affect how election-related markets are regulated. Separate reports say state attorney general races are drawing heavy money and attention ahead of the 2026 midterms, including in swing states like Arizona. The coverage does not give many direct new details about Glassman himself, but it places him in the middle of a high-profile legal and political fight in Arizona.
