Who is Restaino and why was he so intent on convicting Renzi that he would violate the law? His wife, Leezie Kim, worked closely for former Arizona Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano, and Renzi had been rumored to be a potential contender against her for governor in 2006. In 2003, Kim took a sabbatical from Quarles Brady where she was an attorney to serve as the executive director of Napolitano’s Governor’s Citizens Finance Review Commission. She became the treasurer of Napolitano’s 2006 gubernatorial campaign and the treasurer of the Competitive Edge PAC in 2007, which was primarily started to support Napolitano.
Kim
next became Napolitano’s general counsel in February 2008, and
after Napolitano was confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security,
joined her in Washington as a deputy general counsel. Kim left
Washington in 2010 after news reports indicated that she was involved
in efforts to limit responses to politically sensitive Freedom of
Information Act requests. In addition to these active roles, Kim also
donated $400 to the Arizona Democratic Party in 2005 and $928 to
Democratic candidates in 2008.
