Kim George

As of July 1, 2024, Kim George’s website did not contain information on this issue.

Kim George is a retired FBI Special Agent with over two decades of investigative experience, having served in field offices in San Diego, New York, Washington, D.C., and Phoenix. Her career included work in Crimes Against Children, Public Corruption, Organized Crime, and Counterintelligence. After retiring from the FBI, she worked as a Senior Insider Risk and Global Security Operations Investigator for two Fortune 500 companies, focusing on preventing the theft of intellectual property and economic espionage.

Believes the national debt and borrowing are unsustainable. Criticizes the administration for sending over $170 billion to Ukraine while the U.S. faces significant debt issues.

Opposes disqualifying signatures based on the date a circulator added a candidate to the Circulator Portal rather than the official registration date.

Believes non-resident circulators should only need a Circulator ID to collect petition signatures, as per Arizona law.

The candidate's website says, "Under A.R.S. § 16-322(A)(2), the minimum number of valid signatures required for the Republican Party nomination for the office of U.S. Representative for CD1 is 1,742. On April 19, 2024, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office issued its Petition Verification Report, which reviewed 398 signatures challenged in the complaint. The parties acknowledged that the Recorder disqualified 249 petition signers, deeming them unqualified when they signed George’s nomination petitions."

Believes in strict regulations for election procedures, including mandatory registration for petition circulators through an electronic portal.

Believes in prioritizing legislative intent over procedural details in election administration. Supports ensuring candidates meet the primary purpose of election rules.

The candidate's website says, "They accuse Galán-Woods of a number of petition deficiencies, including that 240 signatures came from people not registered to vote in CD1 and that 446 signatures were collected by three circulators who were ineligible to collect signatures because of past felony convictions."

The candidate's website says, "The legal challenge cited an Arizona law requiring circulators “be qualified to register to vote in this state.” Under Arizona law, individuals convicted of a felony are not qualified to register to vote unless their civil rights are restored."

The candidate's website says, "Two candidates who want to unseat Republican Congressman David Schweikert are facing legal challenges claiming they failed to qualify for the ballot in Arizona’s Congressional District 1."

Believes in upholding "Truth, Integrity, and the Rule of Law." Plans to combat corruption and biases against police and conservatives in the judicial system.

Believes the judicial system has been "weaponized" and no longer applies the law equally, leading to a loss of trust in justice. Supports the principle that justice should be blind to external influences and guided by law and fairness.

The candidate's website says, "Kim joins Sam Stone and "fill-in" co-host Michelle Ugenti-Rita to discuss her time in the FBI, focusing on investigations related to crimes against children, public corruption, organized crime, and elections fraud. They also delve into her candidacy for Congress, exploring themes of transparency, election security, and her vision for our future."

Believes in protecting the personal safety of service users and the public. Supports comprehensive measures to ensure public safety, including reforms in policing, criminal justice, and gun control.

The candidate's website says, "Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service"

Believes the Chinese Communist Party may be facilitating the entry of potential nefarious actors into the U.S. under the guise of asylum. Supports strong immigration policies to protect national security.

Believes in a comprehensive national security agenda. Supports strong immigration policies, veterans' welfare, and a robust military.

The candidate's website says, "Arizona U.S. congressional candidate Kim George on the White House's response to Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray's deaths at the hands of illegal immigrants."

The candidate's website says, "Kim George for Arizona | News | FOX AND FRIENDS: Kim joins Fox to discuss border security and recent tragedies from the border"

The candidate's website says, "Kim George for Arizona | News | PODCAST: Former FBI Agent and Candidate for Congress in District #1 - Border, National Security and more"

The candidate's website says, "“Lawfare” – a play on the word “warfare” – refers to the use of legal mechanisms and processes as a tool to achieve objectives, often political in nature. The blog LawfareMedia.org credits the term to then-Air Force Colonel Charles Dunlap, who they say first used the term in a 2001 paper ‘Law and Military Interventions: Reserving Humanitarian Values in 21st Century Conflicts.’ In practice, lawfare encompasses tactics such as frivolous lawsuits, strategic litigation, or exploiting legal ambiguities to undermine opponents or advance specific agendas."
