Michelle Ugenti-Rita[1] (born June 28, 1980) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Arizona State Senate representing District 23 since January 14, 2019. She previously served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019.[2] Ugenti also served consecutively from January 10, 2011 until January 14, 2013 in the District 8 seat.

Education

Ugenti graduated from Arizona State University.

Career

Ugenti sponsored a number of bills to make it harder to put ballot initiatives up to voters.[3]

In January 2019, she sponsored legislation which would prohibit voters who received early vote ballots from casting those votes at polling places before or on election day (they would only be allowed to cast them through mail). Election officials from both parties, as well as voting rights advocates, opposed the legislation, saying that it solves no problem and with some saying it amounted to voter suppression. In 2018, about 228,000 voters had cast their early vote ballots on election day itself, but would under the proposed law be prohibited from doing so.[4]

Ugenti was the only Republican to oppose a 'Blue Lives Matter' bill that toughens penalties for assaulting off-duty police.[5]

Elections

  • 2016 Ugenti and Jay Lawrence were unopposed in the Republican primary.[6] They defeated Democrat Tammy Caputi on November 8. Ugenti was the top vote getter in the election with 69,758 votes.[7]
  • 2014 Michelle Ugenti and Jay Lawrence defeated Effie Carlson and Bob Littlefield in the Republican primary and were unchallenged in the general election.[8]
  • 2012 Redistricted to District 23, and with incumbent Republican Representatives John Fillmore running for Arizona Senate and Frank Pratt redistricted to District 8, Ugenti ran in the three-way August 28, Republican Primary; Kavanagh placed first, and Ugenti placed second with 18,106 votes.[9] Ugenti and Kavanagh were unopposed for the November 6, 2012 General election, with Ugenti taking the first seat with 68,827 votes.[10]
  • 2010 With incumbent Democratic Representative David Bradley running for the Arizona Senate, Ugenti and Republican incumbent John Kavanagh ran in the six-way District 8 Primary; Ugenti placing second with 9,581 votes.[11] In the November 2 General election, Kavanagh took the first seat, and Ugenti took the second seat with 38,055 votes against Democrat John Kriekard.[12]

Controversy

Ugenti and her husband divorced in 2010. During the case, Ugenti used her legislative privilege after her husband's attorney issued a subpoena to Verizon for her texts.[13] Her husband claimed she was having an affair with a co-worker at the Arizona House of Representatives.[14]

Ugenti was criticized in 2012 for making a joke about masturbation to a colleague during a committee hearing.[15][16]

Four women lawmakers call for Ugenti to be suspended from her leadership role due to alleged affair with House staffer.[17]
