New Leaders, Redistricting and American Freedom Tour Top Fall RPAZ Agenda


On Sunday, October 10, the Republican Party of Arizona oversaw the nomination process in which three candidates, one of which will be selected by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors to fill the vacancy left by the late Representative Frank Pratt, were put forward by Pinal County’s elected Precinct Committeemen to fill the LD 8 State House seat. Pinal County’s Precinct Committeemen from Legislative District 8 turned out in huge numbers to engage in this process.
 
On Sunday, October 17, there will be a similar nomination process in Pinal County’s Legislative District 11. This is to replace State Representative Bret Roberts, who is leaving the legislature to pursue an out-of-state professional opportunity. We wish Representative Roberts well in his new endeavors.
 
In other news, we are keeping a very close eye on the redistricting process. To date, the Republican Party of Arizona has been instrumental in driving turnout to the various Independent Redistricting Commission hearings held all around our beautiful state. This has shaken Democrats to their core. In fact, at one of the hearings, Democrats pulled the fire alarm to force an evacuation of the premises when they saw just how outnumbered they were. In addition, we have been working closely with key partners to ensure that our volunteers are well-prepared to deliver hard-hitting testimony that will make the best case for the best-drawn district lines Arizonans could hope for.
 
While there are more than 67 versions of maps swirling around at this point in the process, it is important to note that the final versions put forth will likely be quite different. That is where you come in. We urge all good Republicans who care about how our state will be represented for the next 10 years to go to FairMapsArizona.org to learn more. 
 
And finally, I am thrilled to announce that from November 19-20, we will be hosting the American Freedom Tour! There, firebrand conservatives will be speaking - tickets are limited so get yours NOW. Come see Donald Trump Jr, Kayleigh McEnany, Dan Bongino, Dinesh D’Souza, and many, many more. 

 
More amazing speakers will be announced soon. This is a historic, must-attend event featuring America’s top insiders and influencers, live-and-in-person. Register today. Build important relationships, help promote a conservative agenda and protect America’s future! 

Always America First!
