Senator Mark Finchem, who was elected in 2025 to represent Arizona’s 1st Senate District, has recently shared a series of posts on his social media platform addressing legal and market oversight issues.
On October 11, 2025, Finchem commented on the relationship between public hearings and market conditions. He stated, “Hearings always follow a market condition the the polity sees an unfair activity.@thefloattankguy @djcluster @DigitalGoldTalk https://t.co/KAN0WvRWGj”.
Later that day, he posted another message referencing ongoing discussions with other users: “Where the conversation gets real? @jaredctate @JohnnyLaw2021 @pdimitrakos https://t.co/pY4mHQu9J4”.
On October 12, Finchem addressed concerns regarding the structure of Arizona’s legal system. He wrote, “It is time to sever the relationship between the Arizona Bar and the Arizona Courts. No longer should the Court delegate its responsibility to a 501(c)(6) that has become little more than an HOA run by power brokers. https://t.co/vUmFnOVIMU”.
The debate over the connection between state bar associations and judicial systems is longstanding in Arizona. The State Bar of Arizona operates as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(6) of federal tax law and plays a central role in regulating attorneys within the state court system. Calls for reform or separation have surfaced periodically from various political figures and stakeholders.
Finchem succeeded Ken Bennett as senator for District 1 following his election in 2025. As a Republican legislator, his statements reflect ongoing conversations about transparency and governance within both financial markets and legal institutions in Arizona.
