Arizona Court of Appeals Orders Unsealing of Ruben Gallego's Divorce Records

The decision comes amidst a heated Senate race between Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Kari Lake.

The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's decision to unseal the 2017 divorce records of Congressman Ruben Gallego and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego.
The records are set to be made public on October 17 unless the Arizona Supreme Court grants a stay.
The decision follows a legal battle initiated by the Washington Free Beacon, which argued the records are of public interest given Gallego's Senate candidacy.
The Gallegos expressed concerns that unsealing the records could endanger their son's privacy and well-being.
Polls indicate that Ruben Gallego is leading Kari Lake in the race for Arizona's Senate seat, which could influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
