Arizona Sen. Justine Wadsack, a Tucson-area Republican, is claiming “political persecution” over a criminal speeding ticket dating from a March incident that police allege saw her driving her Tesla down Speedway at more than 70 mph.

Wadsack was pulled over on Friday, March 15, just after 10 p.m., after being observed “traveling at a high rate of speed” heading east on Speedway near North Euclid Avenue by a Tucson police officer on DUI patrol, according to a TPD report.

According to Tucson police, Wadsack was clocked going more than twice the legal limit: 71 mph in a 35 mph zone.

She told the officer she was “racing home” because the battery on her car was low.

Wadsack was not cited at the time, as her immediate introduction of herself as “Senator Justine Wadsack” resulted in the officer contacting his superiors.
