Brearcliffe is a corporate lawyer-turned-judge with a long record of partisan political donations that raise serious questions about his ability to be impartial. Within two weeks of his appointment to the bench by Gov. Doug Ducey, Brearcliffe donated $1,000 to Ducey’s campaign — creating the appearance of a pay-for-play appointment that Brearcliffe has refused to answer questions about. According to reporting from the Arizona Republic, Brearcliffe was the only sitting judge who made contributions to Ducey’s campaign. While on the Court of Appeals, Brearcliffe has donated hundreds of dollars to state and national Republican candidates, including Juan Ciscomani and Donald Trump. Before becoming a judge, Brearcliffe had a lengthy career in which he primarily defended corporations.
