Career
Livingston was a district-level delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Arizona,[5] where he supported Ted Cruz.[6]
State Senate
In February 2019 Livingston introduced SB 1475, which originally would have required teachers and real estate agents (and others who are required to provide fingerprints as part of licensing) to provide their DNA samples for a state DNA database. After public outcry, he amended the bill so that it would only apply to people licensed to provide direct care in an intermediate care facility to individuals with intellectual disabilities.[7]
2020 presidential election
Following the 2020 United States presidential election, Livingston supported the "Stop the Steal" movement which claimed that Donald Trump won the election nationally and in Arizona.[8]
