AZAG/Senate Candidate Shifts Gears In Vaccination Mandate Suit Vs. US - Brings In "John Doe" Federal

AZAG/Senate Candidate Shifts Gears In Vaccination Mandate Suit Vs. US – Brings In “John Doe” Federal Employee


Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich today morphs his anti-vaccine mandate case against the U.S. and is working with outside counsel and an anonymous federal employee. Brnovich is asking for an expedited hearing because the vaccination deadline for employees and contractors is coming up “within the next several days.”

You will recall that Arizona rushed to be the first in the country to file suit after President Joe Biden announced coming requirements to have workers at private companies vaccinated against COVID. Although he had not taken action on that suit in the past five weeks, today’s filings required an amended complaint, a motion for a preliminary injunction and a motion to hurry up.

The “John Doe” is a federal employee working in Arizona, and is being represented by outside counsel Jack Wilenchik. (Wilenchik and the AG’s Office are co-filing today’s pleadings.) John Doe has a medical exemption from being vaccinated, but he believes that the government will not honor it and his job is at stake.

The suit is in federal court, in front of U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi. To read today’s court filings, please visit Arizona’s Law.
