Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes refused to answer questions from Arizonans at a candidate forum event.
The Yavapai County Farm Bureau hosted the event on Sunday at a farm in Dewey-Humboldt for Arizona Secretary of State (AZSOS) candidates Fontes and his Republican challenger, Representative Alex Kolodin (R-Scottsdale), an election attorney.
Although the candidates were told to accept questions from the audience during the forum’s final segment, Fontes did not do this and walked out, leaving Kolodin to respond to them all. The audience didn’t appear receptive to Fontes, but cheered and applauded frequently during Kolodin’s remarks.
Before all this occurred, both Kolodin and Fontes spoke to the attendees of the event.
Kolodin, who has filed numerous lawsuits over election wrongdoing, began discussing his election experience. “My very first group of clients, just a year out of law school, was a bipartisan group of folks — and this was before 2020, before election integrity became a partisan issue — that were concerned about the way that their county was administering elections, and so they hired me to sue to get the metadata from their election tabulator. And we won.”
