The Democrat said the results prove &#8220;a continuation of the legacy of corruption within the Maricopa County Attorney&#8217;s Office.&#8221; Mitchell, a veteran prosecutor who has served as acting Maricopa County attorney since March, declared victory in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brahmresnik\/status\/1592178355474137090\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a press release<\/a> later that day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Public safety isn&#8217;t partisan,&#8221; she said. &#8220;All Arizonans demand safe communities in which to live, work, and raise their children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gunnigle <a href=\"https:\/\/recorder.maricopa.gov\/CampFinDocs\/pdf\/2022_47384.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took<\/a> $6,550 from Way to Lead PAC, which received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros&#8217;s Democracy PAC. During the campaign, she caught flak following a <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/soros-backed-arizona-da-candidate-partners-with-abortion-clinics-that-sold-fetal-organs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> that she partnered with abortion clinics that sold fetal organs. Mitchell allies referred to the story in direct text messages to voters, prompting Gunnigle in a September tweet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JulieGunnigle\/status\/1575189732728119296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to dismiss<\/a> the report as &#8220;disinformation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic candidate promised voters that if elected she would not prosecute abortions under the 15-week abortion ban that Gov. Doug Ducey (R.) signed into law in March. She also pledged to form a special division within her office <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/meet-the-arizona-da-candidate-who-wants-to-prosecute-cops-not-criminals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to prosecute police<\/a> shootings and use of force while dismissing many low-level criminal offenses. Crime is up more than 40 percent over the past two years in Phoenix, Maricopa County&#8217;s largest municipality.<\/p>\n<p>Gunnigle also ran for county attorney in 2020, losing to Republican incumbent Allister Adel, who resigned in March. Gunnigle&#8217;s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell is widely known for participating as an expert on sex crimes in the 2018 Senate confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She informed senators that &#8220;a reasonable prosecutor&#8221; would never have relied on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford&#8217;s testimony against Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell will serve two years before she is up for reelection to a full, four-year term in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julie Gunnigle (D.), a George Soros-backed prosecutor whose radical pro-abortion stance made waves throughout the campaign, has lost the Maricopa County attorney&#8217;s special election to Republican Rachel Mitchell.<br \/>\nThe post Aborted Run: Soros-Backed Candidate Loses Arizona DA Race, Blames \u2018Corruption\u2019 appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":1739782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1739779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1739779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1739779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1739779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1739782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1739779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1739779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1739779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
