Mesa vice mayor investigated in Pennsylvania over irregular voter signatures

Prosecutors in the battleground state of Pennsylvania were investigating questionable voter registration applications involving a firm owned by a Mesa City Council member.

Prosecutors in two Pennsylvania counties confirmed they were looking into irregular voter registration signatures tied to Field+Media Corps, which also had been the subject of a 2023 complaint in Arizona.

The Arizona Attorney General’s Office confirmed it had deferred two separate complaints from Mohave and Navajo counties to Maricopa County prosecutors.

Mesa City Vice Mayor Francisco Heredia, a registered Democrat, runs the company, which conducts voter outreach efforts and registers voters.

Heredia did not immediately respond to The Arizona Republic’s request for comment. The Republic could not reach Eduardo Sainz, who was listed as a member of Field+Media Corps on the Arizona Corporation Commission documents.

Prosecutors in Monroe and York counties in Pennsylvania announced this week they were investigating thousands of last-minute voter registration applications submitted by Heredia’s company.
