The divorce records of U.S. Congressman Ruben Gallego and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego should be unsealed, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative political news outlet, sued to unseal the records back in January. In an opinion column, the editors of the publication wrote that they did so because Gallego had been speaking about his divorce publicly, and the public deserved to be able to fact check him.

The Beacon filed a lawsuit to unseal records from the 2017 divorce in Yavapai County Superior Court, where the divorce proceedings took place. Gallego had already been campaigning for a year for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kyrsten Sinema, who did not run for reelection.

In Arizona, it’s not common for divorce records to be sealed, but at the Gallegos’ request, in 2016 the court sealed the records in their entirety after finding that “the privacy interests of the parties outweighs the general open records policy.”

Entertainment?

2. The court agrees to a request to seal the records at the

petition of one of the parties. So, the court has the authority to unseal.
