Grant Woods (born May 19, 1954) served as attorney general of Arizona from 1991 until 1999.

Woods was a supporter of John McCain in his race for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination against J.D. Hayworth in 2010.[1] Woods was McCain's chief of staff when he was a congressman.

During the U.S. Presidential election of 2016 he has been the only Arizona Republican to have held high office to endorse the Democratic candidate for President, Hillary Clinton. Regarding the two Presidential candidates, Donald Trump (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democrat) he wrote,

“Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified nominees to ever run for president. Donald Trump is the least qualified ever. The stakes are too high to stand on the sideline. I stand with Hillary Clinton for president.”

Woods, considered a moderate-to-liberal Republican, was attorney general from 1991 to 1999. In the 1980s, Woods was the first congressional chief of staff for now-U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and is a longtime friend and confidant of McCain's. Grant has been elected to the International Academy of Trial Lawyers which is limited to the top 500 trial lawyers in the world.

That's what Obummer said about Hillary on the campaign trail. "There's never been a more qualified candidate for POTUS, most qualified in the history of the world!" something to that effect lol

Grant Woods was McCain's chief of staff when McCain served in the House in the 1980s.

Woods told the Post that he has spoken to several Democratic senators about potentially running for the seat, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.). He also said he's spoken to North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D) and New Mexico Sen. Tom Udall (D).

Woods, who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, told the Post he won't consider running as a Republican as long as Trump is in charge.
