Alex Kolodin's Platform

Restore Trust in Arizona's Elections

As a constitutional litigator and legislator, Alex Kolodin has a proven track record of fighting for election integrity. His 2024 Election Reform Bill (HB2787) introduced bipartisan measures like signature verification, public posting of system log files, and enhanced ballot chain-of-custody protocols, making Arizona’s elections more secure and transparent. His proposed Arizona Free and Fair Elections Act (HCR2013) bans foreign money in elections, strengthens voter roll accuracy, and expands on-site ballot tabulation.

Kolodin’s commitment is clear: rebuild voter confidence by addressing concerns seriously, ensuring every Arizonan trusts the process—without dismissing doubts or bypassing public input.

Championing Transparency and Accountability

Alex Kolodin believes Arizona’s election system must be open and accountable to the people. His legislative efforts, like HB2051 (Governor Question Time), push for greater executive transparency by requiring televised questioning of the governor.

As Secretary of State, Kolodin pledges real-time updates on election deadlines, policy changes, and rules, ensuring voters are informed before they cast their ballots. His legal battles, including forcing the release of voter list maintenance records in 2024, prove he’ll hold officials accountable and prioritize clarity over confusion.

Upholding the Rule of Law

With a career rooted in constitutional law, Alex Kolodin has never shied away from challenging those who ignore election rules. He successfully sued Maricopa County officials in 2020 and 2024 for violating election laws and secured voter list transparency under the National Voter Registration Act.

As Secretary of State, Kolodin will enforce every election law impartially, ensuring no party gains an unfair advantage. His legal victories, recognized by groups like the Republican Liberty Caucus, reflect his unwavering defense of Arizona’s constitutional principles.

Strengthening Arizona’s Communities

Beyond elections, Alex Kolodin has tackled pressing community issues with decisive action. In 2023, he wrote and passed bipartisan legislation to restore water access for Rio Verde Foothills residents, earning widespread praise. He’s also supported economic relief through tax rebates and eliminating inflation-driven housing taxes, as well as public safety measures like bolstering Arizona’s border strike force. Kolodin’s ability to deliver results for Arizonans shows his commitment to practical, community-focused governance.

Protecting Voter Access with Accountability

Alex Kolodin supports making voting accessible for all eligible Arizonans while ensuring the process remains secure. His HB2425 bill ensures equal access to voter roll information, leveling the playing field for all parties. Unlike temporary fixes or reactive measures, Kolodin’s reforms, like same-day ballot tabulation (HB2787) and frequent voter list verification (HCR2013), create a system that’s both efficient and trustworthy. His vision for the Secretary of State’s office prioritizes competence and clarity, giving voters confidence in every election.

Advocating for Economic Fairness

He’s backed legislation like HB2081, which provides income tax relief for tipped workers, and supported tax rebates to ease the burden of inflation. His work with the Arizona Freedom Caucus reflects a commitment to economic policies that empower families and small businesses, ensuring Arizona’s prosperity for future generations. Alex is prepared to lead, modernize, and reform the business services offered by the Arizona Secretary of State.

Principled, People-Driven Government

To protect Arizona’s Constitution from fleeting political trends, Alex Kolodin sponsored HCR2025, which raises the threshold for citizen-led constitutional amendments to a 60% supermajority. This reform ensures lasting stability while respecting the voice of Arizonans. Kolodin’s focus on principled governance safeguards the state’s foundational laws for future generations.
