Candidates for the Arizona Corporation Commission exposed a wide rift between Republicans and Democrats over clean-energy support on Wednesday, duringwhat may be the only debate for the statewide office before the November election. Secretary of State records show Chispa has spent more than $4 million in total this cycle including contributions to Legislative candidates. The ads criticize her spending as mayor of Tolleson.

Moderator Ted Simmons asked the candidates to answer yes or no whether humans are altering the climate. An even bigger money player has now come to the side of Democrats. Mundell said his legislative service was 30 years in the past and Tovar said the contributions were different when running for the Legislature. He served two terms after being appointed by then-Gov. The clean-energy groups have given less support to Democrat Shea Stanfield, spending $959,000 to her benefit, and she's seen no independent groups spend money opposing her yet, according to state filings. She served as director of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce until 2018, and quit to run a public affairs firm. Sloan currently leads Marquez Peterson in total votes from Republicans. Taking a hard stand on a pending case could force Sloan to recuse himself from a vote if he were elected and the issue came before him.
