Mike Davis Attacks Arizona AG Kris Mayes Over Election Results and Immigration Stance

Mike Davis, a pro-Donald Trump lawyer and founder of the Article III Project, has sharply criticized Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, accusing her of “disenfranchising AZ voters” and stealing the election from Republican candidate Abraham Hamadeh.
Although the election occurred two years ago, Davis remains upset by the close 280-vote margin that secured Mayes’ victory. Hamadeh, now heading to Congress following Rep. Debbie Lesko’s (R-AZ) retirement, was at the center of Davis’ ongoing grievance.
In his attack, Davis accused Mayes of “plotting to overturn the will of American voters” and obstructing what he described as Trump’s immigration “mandate.” He tied these claims to an interview Mayes gave to The Guardian, where she expressed her commitment to fighting policies that didn’t comply with the law—a stance similar to that of Republican attorneys general during President Joe Biden’s administration.
Mayes specifically mentioned her support for the “Dreamers,” individuals brought to the U.S. as children who are covered under the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. Although the legislation has broad public support, with 68% of American voters backing it according to a survey by The Bullfinch Group, it lacks the 60 votes necessary to overcome a Senate filibuster.
Mayes, however, emphasized her resolve to protect Dreamers, saying, “I definitely will be fighting on behalf of Dreamers. These folks are firefighters, police officers, teachers – they are part of the very fabric of our state and we will protect them.”
Davis responded with a threat, citing “8 U.S.C. § 132” and warning Mayes of potential legal consequences. While the reference was unclear, Davis seemed to suggest that Mayes’ actions could lead to criminal charges.
In another post, Davis had previously threatened to “make your political lives hell” if certain officials did not support the leadership of Kash Patel at the FBI. His continued vocal opposition underscores his ongoing influence in conservative circles and his willingness to engage in high-stakes political rhetoric.
