During the past fiscal . year, this administration continued its focus of protecting Arizona's citizens through aggressive enforcement of state laws and providing quality legal representation to state agencies. We have vigorously defended Arizona's environment by prosecuting those that destroy our natural resources, pursued dozens of companies and individuals who prey on unsuspecting consumers, and convicted many notorious criminals for the heinous crimes they perpetrated. We concentrated our administrative efforts into implementing cost-saving measures that allow us to prioritize our resources into retaining and compensating top-quality \egal staff. Loss of well-trained, experienced attorneys from the Attorney General's Office to higher paying private and public sector positions continues to be a problem that requires close scrutiny by the Legislature.

    CountHerhistory July 2013 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz GovernHers: Twenty-five states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have elected thirty-six women as governors of their state. The six of those states which have elected more than one woman governor, their cumulative fifteen women governors profiled below, are: Arizona 4, New Hampshire 3, Texas 2, Connecticut 2, Washington 2, and Kansas 2. Arizona tops the list, having elected four women governors. Rose Mofford, as Arizona’s first woman governor, returned stability to state politics after she was sworn into office in 1988 following the tumultuous impeachment of her predecessor, Evan Mecham. She did not run for reelection. Jane Dee Hull, Arizona’s second woman governor, completed the term of another male governor dishonorably removed from office when Governor Fife Symington was convicted of a felony and had to resign. Hull was sworn into office in 1997 by the first woman U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, herself an Arizonian. Hull’s successful reelection in 1998 was historic because for the the first (and last) time in the 224-year history of the United States all five of the top elected executive offices in one state were held by women: Hull; Betsey Bayless, secretary of state; Janet Napolitano, attorney general; Carol Springer, treasurer; and Lisa Graham Keegan, Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction. Limited to eight consecutive years in office, Hull was constitutionally barred from running for a second full term in 2002 and was succeeded by Janet Napolitano. Janet Napolitano was Arizona's third woman governor from 2003 to 2009.
