Earlier this week, Kari Lake was tapped as the head of Voice of America (VOA). Yes, that Kari Lake—the same Kari Lake who lost her gubernatorial bid in 2022 and her Senate race in 2024. The Kari Lake who has become synonymous with divisive rhetoric and relentless lies.

Voice of America is a crucial government agency tasked with promoting American values and ideals abroad. It serves as a beacon of democracy and freedom, showcasing what makes the United States exceptional. But is Kari Lake the right person to represent these ideals?

Let’s consider her track record. Throughout her campaigns, Kari Lake spread baseless lies, refused to concede her 2022 loss to Governor Hobbs, and faced lawsuits for defamation, including one from outgoing Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. Her penchant for misinformation and disregard for democratic norms is well-documented.

Foreign nations are already wary of America’s standing under incoming President Trump. Appointing someone like Kari Lake to lead VOA only adds to these concerns and undermines the agency’s mission to inspire trust and admiration for the United States.

Thankfully, while Lake may now have a national platform, she no longer poses a direct threat to Arizona. And we have you, the voters of Maricopa County, to thank for that. Lake’s losses in both 2022 and 2024 were sealed here in Maricopa County, where her divisive politics failed to resonate. In her Senate race against now Senator-elect Ruben Gallego, she lost statewide by 3 points—largely because Maricopa County rejected her by over 5 points.

Kari Lake’s appointment is a setback for American diplomacy, but her inability to win public office is a testament to the power of our work here in Maricopa County. Together, we stood firm against extremism and protected Arizona from her dangerous brand of politics.
