Arizona state Sen. Brian Fernandez has reported living in a Yuma home owned by Lorraine Stofft, Arizona Western College’s vice president of advancement, while advocating for millions of dollars in state funding for the college. Fernandez, a Democrat, has claimed Stofft’s property as his residence since he was appointed in 2021 to fill the legislative seat previously held by his mother. The arrangement places the lawmaker’s reported living situation alongside his efforts to secure public money for the college. The available details do not specify the amount of funding sought or describe any findings of wrongdoing.
