Sen. Janae Shamp is on a mission for 2026.
The Arizona legislator said she wants to “make pedophiles’ lives hell” and is not backing off.
“There are many different layers to how sex offenders are processed,” Shamp, R-Surprise, told The Center Square. “There's things that happen pretrial. There's plea deals that are made. Probation gets involved, and then once probation comes into it, what level of sex offender they are is then generated. So I've been working to make sure that everyone that is a sex offender, whether they're level 1, 2, or 3, are actually on the registry.”
