State Sen. Steve Montenegro, R-Goodyear, skewered Reagan this week for denying a request from President Donald Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The commission has requested extensive voter information from every state.

Montenegro, who is running against Reagan for the 2018 Republican nomination for secretary of state, is referring to her July 3 decision to reject the commission’s initial request for voter information.
