I will seek to ban vaccine mandates across the board

Vaccines and Covid Mandates: I think it is extremely wrong for the government, businesses, and schools to mandate this vaccine. And people have a responsibility to protect themselves--they DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to impose their choices on others. As your Governor, I will absolutely seek to ban vaccine mandates across the board.

Protested masking requirement at Arizona State University

A defiant Kari Lake challenged Arizona State University's new face mask requirement during an outdoor rally at the school's Tempe campus. "Who is sick and tired of this crap?" said the Republican candidate for governor. Lake dangled a face mask from her raised left hand and then stepped on it, as the crowd cheered. She later told the crowd of about 100, "Take the mask and tell Michael Crow to shove it." Crow, the president of ASU, later told 12 News he's never spoken to Lake.

Lake repeated a dubious offer to students she made recently on social media: If elected governor, she would pardon anyone cited for violating ASU's new policy requiring face masks indoors.

"If they arrest you, on Day 1 when I'm governor, I will pardon every patriot who stood up against this tyranny." The Arizona Constitution doesn't give a governor pardon power over tickets or misdemeanor offenses. Any discipline at ASU would likely be handled under the university code of conduct.
