Since 2010, Kris Mayes has worked as a senior sustainability scientist at ASU’s School of Global Sustainability and teaches a course on energy law for the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. During her time as an Arizona Corporation Commissioner from 2003 to 2010, Kris's leadership helped create tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, saved Arizona consumers billions of dollars, and required utilities to produce more clean energy — including solar, wind and energy efficiency — which saved us money and reduced air pollution. 

Kris worked to preserve Arizona’s increasingly threatened water resources by overseeing one of the largest expansions of utility water conservation programs in state history. Kris also pushed utilities to stop spending ratepayer money on corporate bonuses and advertising, in an effort to keep rates low. And when a major natural gas company was charging too much in the wintertime, Kris required the company to provide customers rebates and rate reductions.

Kris has created a twelve-page plan to be implemented if elected to protect and retain reproductive rights, including the right to an abortion. 

She will advocate at the Legislature and support proactive, evidence-based harm reduction strategies, such as the legalized syringe exchanges and fentanyl test strips to battle the opioid epidemic. 

After hearing that the Attorney General’s office ignored over 15,000 complaints on consumer fraud, Kris spoke out about it and vowed to prosecute scammers and return stolen money to community members. We believe that Kris Mayes will be an attorney for the people and for the environment.
