I'm the first secretary of state to have a chief information security officer in the office.

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific claim about being the first Arizona Secretary of State to establish a CISO position — verifiable against the office's history.
What we foundThe Arizona Secretary of State's own official documents confirm that Fontes established the first CISO role within that office, but the claim of being the first secretary of state nationally to do so rests only on self-attestation with no independent cross-state verification found.
