Are you a Yuma County resident upset with the recent wave of federal firings and DOGE funding cuts?

Then Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wants to hear from you.

Attorney General Mayes will host a town hall this evening at the Yuma Arts Center. It's one of several town halls Mayes has held throughout Arizona since last month, with stops in Flagstaff, Douglas and Scottsdale.

Mayes is keeping busy these days, as she has told KAWC, and has filed 17 lawsuits against the Trump administration as part of a coalition of state attorneys general.

KJZZ reports the latest lawsuit on May 9 challenges the “national energy emergency” Trump declared on his first day in office through an executive order.

AG Mayes invites the public in Yuma "to learn about my office’s federal lawsuits, the impacts of Trump and (Elon) Musk's budget cuts and our efforts to protect Arizona families." The event will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
