8 Jan 22nd-Jan 28th, 2026 phoenixnewtimes.com PHOENIX NEW TIMES | NEWS | FEATURE | FOOD & DRINK | ARTS & CULTURE | MUSIC | CONCERTS | CANNABIS | The Stories Your Friends Are Sharing FOLLOW US Despite working overtime on the project, Goulden says Miller stiffed her on the first six weeks of her 2025 pay, which she says he still owes her. Goulden declined to comment on the lawsuit when contacted by New Times. Goulden’s notice also claims that Miller forced her to resign on Oct. 31 in retaliation for complaints about Brosowske, her supervisor; sexism in the office; and other concerns, such as Brosowske’s dubious past in California and his orders “to communicate on the Signal app” to circumvent Arizona’s public records laws. Goulden says she was forced to publicly leave the office, escorted out by “an armed investigator.” She also name-checks other women she said were mistreated by the Pinal County Attorney’s Office, including Miller’s former chief deputy, Gina Godbehere, who ran unsuccessfully in the 2024 Republican primary for Maricopa County Attorney. Godbehere was appointed chief deputy in January 2025 and served till Oct. 24. Godbehere has given no reason for her sudden departure, but she put a happy face on the transition on LinkedIn, thanking Miller and his staff “for the privilege of serving beside you” and wishing them success in the future. Godbehere declined to comment to New Times on Goulden’s allegations. A spokesman for Pinal County told New Times that it would not comment on “pending litigation.” However, Brosowske responded with an email, calling Goulden’s claims “baseless and inaccurate” and writing that Miller’s office would have no further comment. Ironically, just days before her alleged forced resignation, Miller had Goulden draft a press release touting her election to be chair of the Arizona Sex Offender Management Board, which Goulden helped create, “implying that his office will be leading this board to manage sex offenders across the State of Arizona.” ‘Dick pics’ and ‘you females’ In her claim, Goulden accused Brosowske and Miller of “sex discrimination” against her and other women in the office, stating that they created “an atmosphere of harassing, demeaning and pitting of the female employees” against each other. According to Goulden, Brosowske was a Class A shit disturber. If one woman emailed him something that could be seen as critical of another, Brosowske would creepily forward that criticism to the object of scorn. Brosowske also allegedly told Goulden to “keep Godbehere out of the Capitol for any legislative work,” saying that he wanted to “undermine Godbehere with her staff.” Per the notice of claim, Brosowske boasted about “enjoying doing things to provoke” women in the office, such as gaslighting employees with false instruc- tions in order to make them look “incom- petent” to Miller. Brosowske would drop “false, negative comments” about Goulden and another woman to other female employees and made snide comments about “you females” having “high expecta- tions” about Valentine’s Day, telling one colleague, “I don’t know how your husband handles you.” Goulden says she and other staff members complained about Brosowske’s disruptive behavior to Miller in the spring of 2025, but Miller did not rein in his chief of staff. Instead, he allegedly chipped in with some sexual innuendo of his own about former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, telling Goulden that the sheriff and the sheriff’s wife were “swingers” and that “Mark sends dick pics to women.” Miller did not return a phone call from New Times requesting comment. But Lamb, who is currently the favorite in the Republican primary to replace Rep. Andy Biggs in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, seemed unfazed by the alleged remark, which he regarded as bullcrap. “I don’t know how my name ended up in it,” Lamb said of Goulden’s complaint, which he had not seen. “But you’re in poli- tics, people say nasty stuff about you all the time. Unfortunately, most of it is untruthful, if not 95% of it.” A notice of claim alleges that Pinal County Attorney Brad Miller once spread a rumor about former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb being a swinger.
