An Arizona judge unsealed Gallego divorce filings Wednesday, rejecting efforts to keep the records hidden. Yet the filings did not offer the October surprise the Democratic Senate candidate's rival, Kari Lake, was hoping it would.Newly unsealed divorce records reveal U.S. Senate hopeful Ruben Gallego petitioned to end his marriage with Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego in 2016.
That reality is a far cry from what Gallego’s GOP rival in the race, Kari Lake, has hyped as an explosive and potentially damaging revelation less than a month before the election. “We have long put our child before all else and will continue to do so. The judge in this case has recognized how standard the records are, and it is shameful that Lake, her allies, and those who amplify her cruelty refuse to respect two people who are just trying to raise a beautiful boy together.
Attorneys for the Beacon argued in court that the judge erred years ago in sealing the divorce records. At the time, a judge found that the privacy interests of both Ruben and Kate Gallego – then a new congressman and Phoenix City councilwoman, respectively – outweighed Arizona’s general open records policy.
