‘An honorable man’: Arizona leaders mourn passing of President Jimmy Carter
Arizona leaders are mourning the loss of former President Jimmy Carter, who was the longest-living president in the history of the U.S. at his death Sunday at age 100.
Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia, surrounded by his family, according to an announcement from the Carter Center. He served as president from 1977 to 1981 and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
In the Grand Canyon State, leaders reflected on Carter’s leadership and humanitarian legacy.
“President Carter was a fighter for everyday Americans, and that commitment continued after his presidency through extraordinary humanitarian work with his wife Rosalynn,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, a Democrat, said in a statement.
“I looked up to President Carter ― not only because he brokered landmark peace treaties or spearheaded major domestic energy policies ― but because he overcame historic challenges and accomplished incredible feats while remaining his authentic self. I especially appreciated his commitment to elevating young women to spheres of influence, and he appointed more women as federal judges than all previous presidents combined.”
Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., praised Carter’s work on foreign policy, including the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in 1978.
“Above all, he was an honorable man with unimpeachable character,” Stanton said in a statement. “Guided by his deep Christian faith, he built homes for the needy and taught Sunday School well into his 90s. He set a fine example for each of us for what it means to love thy neighbor.”
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., also reflected on Carter’s community service.
“Always humble, President Carter showed us that public service isn’t limited to elected office,” Kelly posted on social media. “He leaves a legacy not just as a president, but as a great American who wore the uniform, built homes for his neighbors and worked for human rights across the globe.”
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement that Carter showed what it means to live for others.
“America has lost a true servant leader,” Mayes, a Democrat, posted on social media. “President Jimmy Carter’s century-long life was defined by his integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to serving his country and his fellow man.”
Leaders from across the political divide offered condolences at the news of Carter’s passing.
Former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, wrote on social media, “May God bless Jimmy Carter. Politics aside, a life well lived, starting from humble beginnings. May he rest in peace.”
President-elect Donald Trump posted that he and his wife Melania were thinking warmly of the Carter family.
“The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,” Trump wrote. “For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.”
Other Arizona political leaders, including Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Senator-elect Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., posted condolences online and offered prayers to the Carter family.
According to the Carter Center, public memorial observances will happen in Washington, D.C., and in Atlanta, followed by a private interment in Plains, Georgia. Members of the public are encouraged to visit the official tribute website to Carter at www.jimmycartertribute.org.

Why Milan Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be Tough Blow for Iowa State Basketball
As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to reflect on what was a strong season, one of their top players from last year is in the portal and is the best player available.
After deciding to come back to college a couple of days ago, Milan Momcilovic is now the best player in the portal and has a number of suitors looking to bring him in. Due to the large amount of money that he is expected to get, it would be a complete shock if he came back to Iowa State at this point. However, where he goes could have an impact on the program.
Last season, the junior had a breakout year and emerged as one of the best shooters in the country. While there is still work to be done to translate his game to the next level, he is an impact player in college basketball.
However, where he might go is the big decision everyone is waiting to see. Currently, it appears to be a three-horse race between the Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals. Of the three, the Cyclones certainly don’t want to see him go to one of those schools.
Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be a Tough Blow
If the star shooter for the Cyclones were to choose the Wildcats, it would be a tough blow for Iowa State. While the Cyclones had a great season this year, it was Arizona that was a thorn in their side.
The Wildcats were able to beat them both in their regular-season matchup and then again in the Big 12 tournament. The game in the Big 12 was an absolute thriller and went right down to the wire.
While Iowa State might have lost, it was Momcilovic who had a fantastic game in the showdown. Now, as the talented sharpshooter mulls his decision on where to play next year, seeing him go to Arizona would be a tough blow for the Cyclones.
This was a team that beat them twice last year, and taking one of their best players would likely result in the Wildcats being considered a better team heading into next season as well.
While Iowa State did a great job in the transfer portal and has some young talent coming back, losing the best three-point shooter in the country is a big blow. Furthermore, since Kentucky and Louisville aren’t in the Big 12, seeing Momcilovic join one of those squads wouldn’t sting or have an impact on the Cyclones nearly as much.

Arizona GOP attorney general debate turns personal with insults, name-calling
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.
