Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said her office would decline prosecution following its investigation into Sunshine Residential Homes, a company that operates group homes for foster children and received substantial rate increases from the Arizona Department of Child Safety after making contributions to Hobbs’s inaugural fund and the Arizona Democratic Party.
