Warren Petersen, a Republican and Arizona State Senator representing the 14th Senate District since 2023, posted a series of statements on January 14, 2026, addressing local leadership, judicial preferences, and engagement with tribal communities.
In his first post at 15:02 UTC, Petersen expressed support for a fellow conservative leader in southern Arizona. He stated, “Frank Antenori has been a stalwart conservative leader of southern Arizona for many years, and I have been privileged to work with him to better the interests of our shared constituents. He knows how important the Attorney General’s Office is to protecting against fraud and abuse https://t.co/5qVA5UOmXZ”.
Later that day at 15:42 UTC, Petersen commented on his judicial preferences by writing, “Clarence Thomas is my favorite Justice. I cannot think of a ruling I have ever disagreed with him on. You can always count on him to do the right thing. When he retires there will be big shoes to fill.”
At 16:09 UTC, Petersen highlighted an event at the state capitol involving Arizona’s tribal nations. He posted, “It is tribal day at the Capitol today. It is always a privilege to host the 22 tribes of AZ, meet with their leadership and listen to their priorites.”
Petersen was elected in 2023 after succeeding David Gowan as senator for Arizona’s 14th district.
