Engel “agrees” with defunding the police

October 11, 2022

New reporting shows Kirsten Engel has a “long history of supporting defunding the police.”

In a 2020 debate, when asked if she supported “a reduction in police budgets to fund social programs,” Engel said, “Yeah…I agree with it.”

And Engel voted against funding Arizona state troopers who fight drug cartels and trafficking. 

Engel is also endorsed by multiple groups who support defunding the police. 

NRCC COMMENT: “Arizonans who want safer communities will vote for Juan Ciscomani. Kirsten Engel is just too extreme.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
