Campaign funds can be used for child care, AG Kris Mayes says
Arizona candidates for public office can use their campaign funds to pay for child care needs while they are campaigning, Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a legal opinion.
The Sept.16 opinion places the Grand Canyon State among 34 other states, along with Washington D.C., in allowing candidates to pay for child care costs with campaign funds.
Mayes, a Democrat and the first mother to hold the office of attorney general in Arizona, issued the opinion at the request of four state legislators who are also mothers of young children.
Led by Sen. Eva Diaz of Tolleson, the group of Democratic women asked Mayes in a May 9 letter to issue an opinion on existing campaign finance law.
