Hello John,

While the media fixates on Maricopa County, Prescott just erupted into one of the biggest transparency fights in Arizona. 

What started as a routine city council appointment has exploded into a major lawsuit over backroom deals, recusal games, and political maneuvering that handed a Democrat a key seat in a Republican stronghold. 

Here’s what happened: 

-GOP council members recused themselves from voting because of their party oaths. 

-One abstained - and under the Prescott City Charter, that counted as a “yes” vote. 

-The result? A Democrat, Patrick Grady, was appointed to the council in a process that’s now under legal fire. 

-Attorney Ryan Heath has filed a lawsuit alleging Open Meeting Law violations, conflicts of interest, and manipulation of the process.

This isn’t just about Prescott. This is how power gets chipped away - one local office at a time. 

The Left is trying to play the long game.  

They’re taking cities, councils, boards, and commissions across Arizona while the establishment shrugs. But patriots like Heath - and people like YOU - are refusing to let them get away with it. 

On October 24, the first big court hearing will take place in Yavapai County. But win or lose, this fight sends a clear message: we are watching, and we will not allow games behind closed doors to override the will of the people. 

That’s why I launched Freedom 400 - to build the ground game, the legal firepower, and the political muscle to stop these quiet power grabs before they spread. 

We’re at 276 patriots strong. That’s good. But if we’re going to take this fight statewide - Prescott, Tucson, Maricopa, everywhere - we need more. Will you be Patriot 277 today with $2, $7, $27, $72, or even $270? 

Every time they operate in the shadows, we’ll shine a light. Every time they try to bypass the people, we’ll push back harder. 

This is how we fight for Arizona - from Prescott to the border and beyond. 

America First. Always.
