Political career

Martin decided to pursue a political career. At age 27, he was elected to the Arizona Senate for a two-year term in the 2000 elections. He was the youngest member of the Arizona Legislature . Two successful re-elections followed. During his term in office he was involved in the passing of the Bill Proposition 103, better known as "Chris' Law". The inspiration for the bill was a 12-year-old student named Chris Cottrell . The bill was passed in the 2002 elections with a majority of 924,161 to 224,709 votes or 80.4% to 19.6%. Under this law, defendants will not be bailed if they are on trial for pedophile behavior . Martin chaired the Senate Finance Committee.

In the 2006 elections, he successfully ran for the post of State Treasurer of Arizona. In January 2007 he started his four-year term. As State Treasurer, he chaired the Board of Investment and the Loan Commission , served as Surveyor General , and sat on the Land Selection Board. In addition, he was second in line to the office of governor of Arizona, as the then incumbent Secretary of State of Arizona Ken Bennett had been appointed and not elected. Over time, Martin has received three Freedom of Information Awards for his achievements in promoting transparent policies and improving access to public documents.

On January 11, 2010, he announced his candidacy for the post of governor of Arizona. In the Republican primaries, he suffered a defeat to incumbent Governor Jan Brewer , who later emerged victorious in the gubernatorial elections.
