Rachel Hope Mitchell (born 1967)[1] is an American attorney serving as the County Attorney for Maricopa County, Arizona since April 2022. She was appointed to the position following the resignation of Allister Adel and won the 2022 special election.[2] In 2019, she briefly served as the acting County Attorney after the appointment of Bill Montgomery to the Arizona Supreme Court.[3] Previously, she was the Chief Deputy County Attorney,[4] and chief of the Special Victims Division.[5]
In 2018, Mitchell rose to national prominence when she was requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee to serve as Nomination Investigative Counsel and question both Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh on September 27, 2018, during Kavanaugh's widely publicized confirmation hearings for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.[6][7][8][9]
