Caveat: I've known Lauren Kuby, one of the candidates for Arizona Corporation Commission, for years and have donated to her campaign.
In school, most of us learned that there are three branches of government - executive, legislative, and judicial.
In Arizona, there's a fourth, constitutionally-recognized, branch - the Corporation Commission.
It regulates corporations (as its name suggests), utilities (perhaps its most important duty) and securities.
Lauren Kuby is not only someone who understands the impact of climate change on the average Arizona family and would be a tireless advocate for Arizona consumers, she's someone who takes elected office seriously (one of the things that's guaranteed to tick me off is when an elected doesn't doesn't take his/her job seriously, people who are legion here in AZ. Actually, I think we've reached the point where someone who takes the job seriously cannot win an R primary.)
Anyway, federal candidates on the AZ ballot are here; statewide candidates are here; legislative here; state-level judicial here; and ballot measures here.
Blog for Arizona has posts on the topics here, here, and here.
The last is on the judicial retention ballot; I won't be voting to retain judges appointed by Doug Ducey. The fact that Dougie likes someone doesn't speak well for their character.
Maricopa County candidates are here.
