The Arizona Attorney General's Office says it won't prosecute former state House speaker Gowan following a fraud investigation into expense reimbursements. The office says it found numerous accountability shortcomings in House of Representatives procedures but a lack of clear-cut violations involving criminal intent by Gowan, a Sierra Vista Republican.

● AZ Ballot, AZ Supreme Court: Progressive activists in Arizona have launched a two-pronged effort to unseat a pair of conservative Supreme Court justices and preserve voters' right to do so.

Progress Arizona is targeting Kathryn King and Clint Bolick, two appointees of former Republican Gov. Doug Ducey who voted earlier this month to ban nearly all abortions in the state by ruling that an 1864 law prohibits the procedure. Both justices face retention elections in November, where voters will be presented with a "yes/no" question asking whether each jurist should be permitted to serve another term.

● VA-Gov, VA-LG, VA-AG: Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney announced Tuesday that he was ending his campaign for governor of Virginia and would instead seek the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, a development that has major implications for both contests.

Stoney's move leaves Rep. Abigail Spanberger as the only major Democrat running to succeed Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who is prohibited from seeking a second consecutive term. Without mentioning his opponent by name, Stoney acknowledged in a statement that he had only a "narrow path" to victory against the congresswoman.

● MD-Sen: Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, who trails Rep. David Trone in the polls, is hoping that a new endorsement from the Washington Post will help her turn her fortunes around with a month to go before Maryland's primaries.

In a Thursday editorial backing her for the Democratic nod, the Post praised Alsobrooks' record in office and noted she "would bring valuable diversity to the Senate" as "the first Black woman elected statewide in Maryland."

While it's rare these days for newspaper endorsements to have an impact at the ballot box, the Post's could be the exception. As Inside Elections’ Jacob Rubashkin alludes, the paper remains influential in Montgomery County, which is the state's largest and borders Washington, D.C., just opposite Prince George's.

MADISON, WI - MARCH 10: Democratic Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca gestures as he speaks during a session of the assembly at the Wisconsin State Capitol on March 10, 2011 in Madison, Wisconsin. Thousands of demonstrators continue to protest at the Wisconsin State Capitol as the Wisconsin house prepares to vote on the state's controversial budget bill one day after Wisconsin Republican Senators voted to curb collective bargaining rights for public union workers in a surprise vote with no Democrats present.

● WI-01: Peter Barca, a Democrat with a long history in Wisconsin politics, announced Thursday that he would challenge Republican Rep. Bryan Steil for the state's 1st District, a constituency that's descended from the one Barca briefly represented three decades ago. While Republicans have held it ever since, Barca's entry could put into play a seat that the GOP has rarely had to sweat.

Barca, who stepped down last month as state revenue secretary, is the first major contender to enter the Aug. 13 Democratic primary, and it's possible he could be the last. Right after his launch, former Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan informed the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Lawrence Andrea that he'd decided to back Barca rather than run himself.
