Kris Mayes moves to remove David Marshall as Navajo County recorder

Attorney General Kris Mayes seeks to remove David Marshall from the Navajo County recorder position, claiming his appointment violates the Arizona Constitution. Mayes argues Marshall, who was elected to the state legislature in 2024 and sworn in January 2025, cannot hold another public office during his legislative term. Marshall resigned his legislative seat before being appointed as recorder, but Mayes contends the constitutional restriction applies until his term ends in 2027.
