Incumbent Rachel Mitchell, a Republican, and challenger Pro Tempore Judge Tamika Wootton, a Democrat, faced off on Tuesday in the only debate in the Maricopa County Attorney race.

Mitchell defeated former Maricopa County Chief Attorney and trial attorney Gina Godbehere in the Republican primary. Wootton ran unopposed in the primary.

Mitchell was first appointed county attorney in 2022 following the resignation of Alistair Adel. Mitchell defeated Democrat Julie Gunnigle in an election later that year to serve the remainder of Adel's term.
