America is in mourning. And in John McCain’s home state, the pain was plainly palpable.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, a towering figure in American politics and on the world stage, has died, his office announced today.

New Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is following in his predecessor's footsteps by focusing on sex trafficking as a key priority.

An anti-human trafficking bill championed by the wife of U.S. Sen. John McCain will now go to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, also a vocal supporter of the bill.

A bill that throws the book at pimps and men who pay minors for sex received unanimous approval today in the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing that touched a nerve with the fathers of daughters on the panel.

The governor’s Task Force on Human Trafficking wants lawmakers to enact tougher penalties on pimps who sell underage prostitutes and customers who pay them, while easing punishments against child prostitutes and treating them more as victims under the law.

The Governor’s Task Force on Human Trafficking took its first steps Wednesday in trying to clean up Arizona’s illicit sex trade in time for the 2015 Super Bowl to be played in Glendale.

Things are better now than they have been at any point since Gov. Jan Brewer took office in 2009 amid a crippling recession and fiscal crisis. But the governor said they can be better still, and stressed the need for Arizona to be more competitive.

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is in Arizona on a campaign swing on the same day Mitt Romney is here trying to drum up support.

Republicans running for the White House are starting to make the rounds in Arizona.
