In 2022, Finchem ran for Arizona Secretary of State and lost to Adrian Fontes.
"Finchem, who has previously served as a state lawmaker, gained national headlines two years ago when he ran as a Trump-endorsed election denier for secretary of state, a position that oversees Arizona elections. He challenged the results in court when he lost that election by roughly 5 percentage points."
In 2024, he was reelected to the Arizona Senate.
