Hi, I'm Gina Godbehere
I am a proud mother and attorney born and raised in Phoenix as a 4th generation Arizonan and I have a strong connection to Maricopa County and its people. My family was one of the founding families of Buckeye and have proudly served this community as small business owners, community leaders and law enforcement professionals for generations. My upbringing has instilled in me a profound sense of duty and commitment to Maricopa County and public safety. My uncle was the previous sheriff of Maricopa County, and I am a proud supporter and advocate for law enforcement understanding the sacrifices they and their families make for our safety.
Our path forward demands a brave leader who will confront rising crime, restore trust in cherished institutions, and ensure justice and accountability for all – areas where the current administration has notably failed.
This realization has compelled me to seek this office, aiming for impactful change. I urge voters to educate themselves on the issues at stake and the dangerous implications of maintaining the status quo. I will be here to listen, answer questions, and demonstrate why there is a better way forward.
Why Is the County Attorney Important?
The Maricopa County Attorney is one of the most important roles in county government. One person is responsible for the felonies filed in this county – and the County Attorney must do their job effectively, apolitically, and accountably.
There is a Stark Contrast in July
I am running to better our communities. Under my opponent’s leadership our quality of community life has diminished. We are seeing increased homelessness, mentally ill people wandering our streets and shoplifting occurring daily in our neighboring stores. My opponent has not addressed our revolving criminal justice system. Instead, she has expanded dangerous liberal diversion policies and has offered lenient pleas to repetitive offenders who should be in prison. Victims have lost their voices. Far too many felonies are not charged at all or are downgraded to misdemeanors and sent to the cities that do not have supervised probation to monitor these felons. Violence and migrant crime is skyrocketing as a result of our unsecured borders. Things continue to get worse because my opponent’s job stopped the day she got elected when she decided to continue the status-quo. As we face a new era of crime and threats from an unsecured border, it is time for action not words. I am committed to ending her dangerous liberal policies and “Revolving Door of Justice.”
I Need Your Help
Maricopa County is one of the largest counties in America and it’s expensive to run for office here – especially in a less well-known race like the one for County Attorney. Our campaign is powered by grassroots supporters just like you. Can you contribute $50 or more today?
Join Team Gina Now
Recognizing the surge in crime levels, my platform advocates for a robust partnership with law enforcement agencies, businesses, and community members. The cornerstone of my strategy is an “all hands-on deck” approach, inviting open communication and collaboration from all sectors willing to join the fight against crime.
I am committed to fighting gangs, and I plan to implement aggressive strategies to keep these criminal elements out of our neighborhoods and protect the sanctity of our homes.
The increase in gun crimes, especially among youth, calls for strict enforcement of gun possession laws. This is vital not just for immediate safety, but also to enable law enforcement to track firearms used in other offenses, helping to solve and prevent further crimes.
My plan includes transforming the Victims Division into a more responsive and empathetic unit. By streamlining communication between victims, law enforcement, and the county attorney’s office, we can ensure victims are informed, supported, and integral to the justice process.
With over 42,000 minors unaccounted for at the Arizona border, my office will prioritize understanding the ramifications of this crisis and work with local and federal agencies to address the safety, legal, and humanitarian implications.
Education is power. I will create a dedicated section on the county attorney’s website with resources and infographics to educate our citizens about the critical role and functions of the County Attorney’s Office, making the justice system more transparent and understandable.
As your County Attorney, I will be the face of justice, working tirelessly to improve the current system and ensure it serves the people effectively. The office is not just about politics; it’s about balanced policies that affect daily life and safety.
Leadership is not interchangeable; it’s about vision and action. My focus is on policy and people, not politics. I aim to balance the scales of justice, ensuring safety and equity for all.
I will deliver my message with strength and passion, emphasizing the urgency of change to maintain our community’s safety. My campaign is about reaching every voter, bridging divides, and uniting our community under a common goal of justice and security.
