When she was appointed on October 3, 2019, she was silent on this issue.

When the Arizona Legislature convened on January 13, 2020 she was silent on this issue.

When HB 2760 was introduced to fund body-worn cameras by law enforcement in Arizona on February 4, 2020 she was silent on this issue.

When the Arizona legislators requested a special session on June 2, 2020 specifically to address reforms including body-worn cameras, she was silent on this issue.
