Key Points:
- Warren Petersen uses leftover campaign funds for attorney general bid
- Rodney Glassman leads in fundraising with $2.4 million in the bank
- Incumbent Kris Mayes has nearly $1.1 million for the 2026 election
Senate President Warren Petersen is relying on money left over from prior legislative campaigns to give his bid for attorney general a financial bump.
But he still hasn’t caught up with Rodney Glassman, the other Republican who hopes to get the nod from voters to take on Democratic incumbent Kris Mayes in the 2026 general election.
New reports filed with the Office of the Arizona Secretary of State show that Petersen brought in more than $69,000 in new contributions in the second quarter of the year. That brings his donations for this election cycle up to more than $190,000.
But Petersen started ahead of the curve with nearly $200,000 left over from prior campaigns. That means he now has almost $351,000 in the bank.
That, however, pales in comparison to Glassman, a Phoenix attorney, who added another $578,000 in donations over the last three months, on top of the $604,000 he had collected earlier this year.
