| "Risa Lombardo was a Republican precinct committeeman until days before she filed a statement of interest to run for Arizona governor as a Green Party candidate in 2026. |
| |
| In 2023, Lombardo was hawking “Kari Won” buttons and supporting far-right Republican campaigns, alongside her husband Michael Lombardo, who remains a Republican precinct committeeman for Legislative District 2. |
| |
| The Arizona Green Party says Risa Lombardo’s candidacy is a sham."... |

Mysterious Green
Party Governor
Candidate Has Loads
Of GOP Connections |
|
"Ahead of the July
primary election,
the Arizona
governor’s race is
packed. Eight
candidates have made
the ballot so far —
though some may drop
off due to petition
signature
challenges. One,
however, is not like
the others. Or, at
least, she’s not
like the party she
supposedly
represents. Green
Party candidate
Risa Lombardo
appears to have no
real affiliation
with the party. She
is a registered
Green Party member —
she has to be in
order to run —
though it’s not
clear how recently
she joined the
party. (Phoenix New
Times has requested
but not yet received
her registration
information from the
Maricopa County
Recorder’s Office.)
Instead, Lombardo
may be a “sham” or
“stealth MAGA”
candidate who is in
fact a member of a
local independent
conservative group." |
