July 2023
THE HEAT IS ON.
And I am not talking about the 112 degree days right now.
Arizona Republican leaders in Legislative District 2 have selected
three nominees to replace former state Sen. Steve Kaiser, who
resigned on June 22. He’ll be replaced by one of three
Republicans: former state lawmaker Shawnna Bolick, twice
failed congressional candidate Josh Barnett, or Paul Carver, the
district’s Republican Party chair.
As you may remember, Shawnna Bolick is a life member of
ABATE and the only 3x awarded Legislative Freedom Fighter of
the Year.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors must appoint
one of those three nominees to the Senate. You might
guess which direction I am hoping they go.
They've got plenty of time to choose — lawmakers
aren't scheduled to return to the Capitol until July 31.
Other than that, we’ve been working steady on getting
ready for next session already
Be good to one another.
