About the candidate
Michael “Mike” Norton was formerly the director of legal affairs for the Green Valley Transportation Corp. in Knoxville, Tennessee and has worked in transportation services, according to his LinkedIn profile. Norton promises to work toward an Arizona that is “sustainable and climate resilient” and said he believes in social justice and equal opportunity, according to his campaign website. He previously supported the Republican and then Democratic parties, but said he is an “opponent of extreme politics” and is now pushing for grassroots democracy changes outside the two major parties. The Arizona Green Party has denounced Norton, saying he is not a Green Party candidate.
