Remembering Mark Brnovich: A Legacy of Service and Leadership in Arizona
Former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich passed away at the age of 59, leaving behind his wife, Federal Judge Susan Brnovich, and two daughters. He served two terms as attorney general and ran for the U.S. Senate in his final year in office. Despite being nominated by President Donald Trump as ambassador to Serbia, the nomination was later withdrawn without a reason provided. Brnovich's legacy includes resuming executions in Arizona after an eight-year pause during his tenure as attorney general. Born in Detroit and raised in Phoenix, Brnovich had a diverse career that included serving as a judge advocate in the National Guard and working as a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix. He was also known for his martial arts skills with nunchucks and his love for The Grateful Dead band. Brnovich will be remembered for his contributions to Arizona politics and justice.
