Wed Sep 18 22:47:00 UTC 2024: ## Arizona Attorney General Advises Candidates on Using Campaign Funds for Childcare
**PHOENIX, AZ** – Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has issued guidance for candidates regarding the use of campaign funds for childcare expenses. Mayes, acknowledging the disproportionate burden of childcare often falling on women, has stated that candidates are free to use campaign funds for childcare if it allows them to focus on their election campaigns.
However, the use of these funds must be directly related to the candidate’s campaign activities. The funds cannot be used for general childcare expenses unrelated to the campaign. Mayes believes this policy will help level the playing field and encourage more women to run for office.
