Harmeet Dhillon, a conservative attorney and Trump campaign advisor, was appointed by former President Donald Trump to lead a new ‘Election Integrity team’ in Arizona to “stop Democrat interference” and “secure” the state’s elections, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Arizona Republican Party (AZGOP) announced Tuesday.
Under Dhillon’s leadership, the RNC and AZGOP said it has plans to file “new litigation to secure Arizona’s elections” in the upcoming days in an effort to prove Republicans are “committed to protecting the vote and defending Election Integrity.”
Honored to serve. I’ve already spoken to most of the movers & shakers in AZ, and I’m heading there shortly after fulfilling another campaign duty in another part of the country. Have laptop, will travel! I look forward to working w/ our AZ legal colleagues already on the ground! pic.twitter.com/0fTNX9Etic

In a joint statement, Trump Campaign Managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita and RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump praised Dhillon upon her appointment to lead the new Election Integrity team in Arizona.
“[Dhillon] will spearhead critical legal battles, stop the many attacks on the integrity of our elections, and lead our winning election integrity team to Protect the Vote. Election Integrity is the top priority for President Trump, his campaign, and the RNC, and with a fair and secure election Arizona will send President Trump back to the White House,” the joint statement reads.
“Harmeet is an unmatched force for Election Integrity and will lead the fight, and win, to secure Arizona’s elections – for our country’s most important election,” the statement adds.
AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda also applauded the appointment of Dhillon to lead the new Election Integrity team in Arizona, saying, “Arizona is the battleground for this election, and Harmeet is ready to lead the fight.”
“We are committed to an honest and secure election system that counts every legal vote properly. Arizonans, and Americans, deserve nothing less, and we are full steam ahead in our unprecedented dedication to Election Integrity,” Swoboda added.
The creation of the new Election Integrity team comes as early voting in Arizona for the November 5 general election begins on Wednesday, October 9.
