Tamika Wooten Seeking Signatures to Get on Ballot for Maricopa County Attorney’s Race
Tamika Wooten has filed to run for Maricopa County Attorney. Being an attorney for over 30 years, Tamika brings a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to working for a smart and equitable justice system.
As an attorney for three decades, Tamika has served as the Chief Prosecutor in the City of Glendale, a defense attorney in private practice, and a judge in multiple municipalities throughout Maricopa County, currently serving as a Judge Pro Tem in Avondale, Surprise, Scottsdale, and Mesa.
Tamika summarizes her legal background saying “I have the experience of a prosecutor, the compassion of a defense attorney, and the wisdom of a judge.”
Tamika is a strong advocate for the right to choose and for reproductive rights. We need Tamika in the Maricopa County Attorney’s office to make sure women and their doctors are not prosecuted for personal healthcare decisions.
Tamika knows the effect community can have on each individual. Tamika knows that to find success in their lives, people must have a sound community with a sound criminal justice system. This means a criminal justice system that works equally — and equitably — for everyone, no matter your history, race, education, or creed.
Tamika isn’t just an attorney and judge, she’s a wife and a mother of two daughters. As a mother, she understands the importance of a safe, equitable, strong community. As a mother of daughters, she understands the importance of safeguarding the right to choose and reproductive freedom.
