This is truly horrible for the state. We saw how she managed Pima County.

I put together the list of our new legislature by LD (2023 AZ House and Senate Members by LD). Nothing changed as far as the number of Republicans vs. Dems. We still only have 2 more Republicans in both House and Senate.

I will update with email addresses and phone numbers once they are assigned. We will need this information once session begins in January.

Make sure you know what LD you are in.

Looks like some big news is developing in Arizona 👀

Kari’s team: “The bad news is if it's as big as we're being led to believe we probably can't tell you guys a thing about it.”

The Dam is breaking in Arizona.

"We believe it's legit," Kari Lake's team responding to news that a recount has resulted in hundreds of new votes for Republican Attorney General Candidate Abraham Hamadeh

Arizona House Member-Elect Casts Aside Her Own Race For Election Truth

The above video showing only a small part of a larger interaction that occurred on the floor of the Arizona House of Representatives last night when one of my colleagues and I tried to make a motion to get a late introduction bill to fully ban abortion in Arizona.

I've been asked by multiple people what really happened, so I will provide additional context on what occurred in the two Telegram broadcasts below. (character limitations won't allow me to post it all with the video)

Please read below.

Last night on the floor of the Arizona House of Representatives I attempted to bring a motion to immediately introduce legislation that would fully ban abortions in Arizona.

Majority Leader Ben Toma and the rest of House Republican “Leadership” fought it with more vitriolic fervor than I’ve ever seen them exert on Democrats.

In fact, let’s compare “Leadership’s” very different (and very disappointing) responses to two unscheduled motions that occurred on the House floor in the last 18 months.

In 2021, Rep. Michelle Udall joined with Democrats to stab the Republican caucus in the back by introducing a motion to give taxpayer subsidized university tuition to illegal aliens. Leadership even admitted after the fact that they knew in advance that she was going to do it. How did “Leadership” respond?

▪️Speaker Rusty Bowers feigned soft spoken surprise and did nothing to oppose her motion

▪️Majority Leader Ben Toma quietly snuck out of the House chamber and left the premises before the situation went down, so that he could say he “wasn’t there” for it

▪️Others in leadership generally just threw up their hands and acted like there was nothing that could be done to stop her motion from succeeding

Contrast that with what occurred last night…

I prepared a motion, in concert with the House Clerk’s Office (to ensure that it was in proper form), for the purposes of late introduction and consideration of a measure to “fully ban abortion in the state of Arizona” and that it be voted by the chamber on the third consecutive day. Someone informed “Leadership” of my intent to make the motion in advance. How did “Leadership” respond?

▪️I was warned by one member of “Leadership” not to do it and that they wouldn’t support it if I did.

▪️Speaker Bowers refused to recognize me to speak and instead proceeding directly to Committee of the Whole (COW). (Note: This is within the prerogative of the Chair’s power; however, seldom done. This was an intentional attempt to block the pro-life motion.)

▪️Rep. Mark Finchem, who was brought up to chair COW, refused to recognize me also, which forced Rep. Parker to object and demand a vote to overturn Finchem’s decision not to let me speak.

▪️Majority Leader Toma became so enraged that he was shaking and screamed at me on the floor of the House about how he’s “more pro-life than [I’ll] ever be,” and that our attempt to save tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of babies lives who will be snuffed out by abortion under our current law was a “political stunt.” He also repeatedly screamed “count to 31 Jake” implying that because we didn’t have 31 Republican members there the motion was doomed to fail. Apparently Toma is unaware of our House Rules because my motion did not need 31 votes to succeed. It simply needed a “majority of those present on the floor” to succeed. For reference, Republicans last night outnumbered Democrats with a cushion. The Sergeant At Arms informed me after the fact that he had begun making his way across the floor to intervene because he was worried Toma was going to punch me.

TO RECAP THESE TWO VERY SYNONYMOUS PROCEDURAL SITUATIONS:

Giving Taxpayer Subsidized University Tuition to Illegals:
Bowers acted surprised when he wasn’t and did nothing to intervene. Toma left the Capitol so he could say he wasn’t present and wouldn’t be blamed.

Protecting Life in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned:
Bowers tried to block the effort and Toma became so enraged that he screamed absurdities and at least one person thought he was going to physically assault me.

It truly never ceases to amaze me how hard Establishment Republicans will fight the conservative members of their own Party. If only they would direct even a fraction of that same energy toward Democrats, America would not be in the mess we’re in now.

In light of the landmark Dobbs ruling and the overturning of Roe v. Wade I can think of very little worth fighting for as much as the innocent children that we now have the power to protect. It breaks my heart that we will have to wait until 2023 now to introduce the bill to save those babies lives that we could’ve introduced last night with a simple majority of those present on the floor.

I get it. Republican members are upset with me and Parker for doing what we did. I’ll live with it. Trying to protect life is worth it, even if it means being disliked. J1518

Conservatives in the AZ House tried to protect against this at the end of the last legislative session by trying to introduce a late introduction bill to codify the pre-statehood abortion ban into current statute.

Watch the video and read what happened above to see what happened.

Today’s appeals court decision is nothing short of a tragedy. How many innocent lives will be snuffed out during this 15-week window now?

Their murder could have been prevented.
