Duwayne Collier
Secretary of State
Green
I’m Dwayne Collier, a 46-year-old born in a small farming town in California. I’ve worked in construction, labor, sales, and service, where I developed a strong ability to connect with people. After traveling across the country, my wife and I settled in Arizona, where we’re raising our two children. We fell in love with the community and way of life here. I’m proud to call Arizona home and am committed to helping make it an even better place to live. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote.
My name is Duwayne Collier, and I am an advocate for the citizens of Arizona. I believe in strong borders and legal immigration. We must expand lawful pathways to bring people to America, helping grow our population and strengthen our economy-especially in Arizona, where farming and construction depend on a reliable workforce. While we should encourage Arizonans to fill these roles, legal immigration plays an essential part. I support renewable energy, particularly fusion technology, which offers safe, clean power and represents the future of energy in America. Protecting Arizona’s water supply is critical. I will prioritize securing our fair share of Colorado River water to ensure the state’s long-term sustainability. I am committed to clean air and water and will hold corporations accountable when they violate public trust. As the Grand Canyon State, we must protect our natural environment for future generations. I will work to bring manufacturing and high-paying jobs to Arizona while supporting a balanced economy that includes agriculture, construction, service industries, defense, and investment. I am a devoted family man, active in ministry, and committed to serving my community. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote.
Adrian Fontes
Secretary of State
Democratic

In 2022, Adrian Fontes was elected Arizona’s 21st Secretary of State. A proud Arizona native, Marine Corps veteran, husband, and father, he has dedicated his life to justice and defending democracy. After serving on active duty from 1992–1996, he pursued law, advocating for the disadvantaged as a prosecutor in Denver and Maricopa County, and leading the International Prosecution Unit at the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. As Maricopa County Recorder, he modernized elections, expanded access, and improved transparency. Since January 2023, Secretary Fontes has strengthened election integrity, promoted voter access, and ensured Arizona’s business community has a trusted, nonpartisan partner.
As Secretary of State, I’ve delivered on key promises to strengthen election integrity, ensure voter access, improve business services, and promote transparency. In everything I do, my goal is to protect your vote. These efforts include launching a statewide ballot tracking system that allows voters to receive text and email updates when their ballots are sent and received. I have fought to protect your private data and vote-by-mail because nobody should have to stand in long lines in the heat to cast their vote. Ahead of the 2024 election, I hosted statewide tabletop exercises with election officials, law enforcement, and cybersecurity experts to prepare for potential threats, including emerging challenges like deepfakes and content authentication. To combat misinformation, I established the Artificial Intelligence and Election Security Advisory Committee, bringing together leaders from academia, business, and technology to assess risks and identify opportunities. In 2025, I received a Clearie Award from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission for the third consecutive year, honoring innovation and excellence in election administration. Importantly, I successfully oversaw the peaceful administration and certification of the 2024 election, reinforcing trust in Arizona’s democratic process. I would be honored to earn your vote. Thank you.
Alexander Kolodin
Secretary of State
Republican

For more than a decade, Alex Kolodin has fought for transparency, accountability, and the rule of law in the courtroom and at the Capitol. In the Legislature, he sponsored bipartisan election reforms that strengthened early-voter verification, protected military ballots, improved chain of custody, and helped speed up results. Alex is an experienced election attorney, Arizona State Representative, and small business owner running for Secretary of State to restore transparency to our elections. He’s a graduate of Georgetown University, the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and a former Goldwater Institute Reagan Fellow. Alex lives in Scottsdale with his wife and two children.
As Secretary of State, my sole focus will be on serving all voters, regardless of political affiliation, and administering elections that are secure, transparent, honest, and follow the law, while delivering fast results that all Arizonans can have confidence in on election night. I’ve been fighting for Arizonans’ civil liberties, including the right to free and fair elections, for well over a decade. As an experienced election attorney, I’ve successfully challenged my opponent Adrian Fontes’ numerous and repeated violations of the law in court. As a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, I’ve been the state’s most successful election policy-focused legislator - achieving broad bipartisan support for some of the most important election laws in state history. I’ve fought to protect the voting rights of military members, veterans, the disabled, rural voters, and voters from every Party, income level, race, gender and age. The reality is that the process of administering elections shouldn’t be about right vs. left or rich vs. poor. Election administration is about following the law, running world class elections, and delivering fast results that voters can trust. I’m Alex Kolodin and I’m humbly asking for your vote to be Arizona’s next Secretary of State.
Gina Swoboda
Secretary of State
Republican

Gina is a certified elections officer and has served under two AZ Secretaries of State. She is a Senior Fellow with Honest Elections Project and has served as Senior Policy Advisor on Elections at the AZ Legislature. Gina was AZGOP Chair in 2024, winning races up and down the ballot, and as Chairman of the RNC Committee on Election Integrity ensured victories in swing states through crucial litigation. She graduated with her BA magna cum laude from ASU and has been married to the love of her life for 32 years and has two children, two dogs, and a tortoise.
I am running for AZ Secretary of State to secure our elections, restore customer service across all divisions, improve response times and upgrade our software and security. The SOS covers many divisions, and the greatest concern is the Elections Division. I have served in every role in that division, and I know what it takes to execute under enormous pressure under conflicting statutory deadlines. There is a series of legislative actions that can help secure our systems. I will submit drafts to our AZ Leg Leadership to secure our elections immediately. Among these, routine post-election audits, an expansion of how we conduct Logic & Accuracy testing to include peripheral equipment, providing mandatory, public reporting to the Legislature on changes in the statewide voter registration database and conducting ongoing audits of every one of these procedures. Paramount among the responsibilities of the AZ SOS is the Elections Procedures Manual. That joint, stakeholder driven process will begin the day I walk back into that office. Business Services is a hugely important part of AZ SOS. We need to provide tools for faster response times to speed up the flow of economic growth across our state. It would be an honor to serve.
