It has been revealed that embattled Arizona's Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Supervisor Chairman Bill Gates in 2021 started a political action committee to stop MAGA candidates.
On November 17, 2021, Meg Cunningham from the Kansas City Beacon tweeted that Richer, "the Maricopa County recorder, is launching a PAC to support Rs running for non-federal AZ offices who 'acknowledge the validity of the 2020 election and condemn the events of Jan. 6, 2021, as a terrible result of the lies told about the November election.'"
Richer retweeted her saying, "Thanks to a few generous donors this is now launching. Join me if you care about traditional Republican 'stuff' (free people, free markets, rule of law), but also don’t believe in conspiracies about the 2020 election or that Jan 6 was a tourist event."
The PAC called Pro Democracy Republicans of Arizona claims on their website that they are "fighting to keep our democratic institutions alive."
The website is sparse on details aside from how to donate but does have a few sentences on their mission. "The Arizona election wasn’t stolen. We Republicans simply had a presidential candidate who lost, while we had many other candidates who won. It’s time we Republicans accept and acknowledge that fact."
“Candidates come and go. But our democratic institutions are long-lasting, and peaceful transitions of power are a hallmark of the United States. We should not abandon this history in favor of conspiracy theorists and demagoguery."
"To that end, we are launching this PAC to support pro-democracy Arizona Republicans."
"We hope you will join us. We will win some races. We will lose some races. But either way, we will be strengthening the processes that have long undergirded Arizona and the United States."

I would say half the posters on Free Republic are anti-MAGA.
I don’t suppose that they can be ejected from the Arizona Republican Party?
Now that’s interesting. If you were a part of a group that was so concerned about MAGA Republicans not questioning an election , Wouldn’t you make extra efforts to make sure that this election ran smoothly ?
Katy Hobbs was supervising her own election and Richter and Gates were running a PAC to destroy what became of the Republican slate of candidates. They did their best kill Lake, Masters, and Finchem in the primaries and failed Now it looks like they succeeded in the general election. This has to be illegal and I hope Lake, Masters, and Finchem file a class action vote suppression lawsuit. The media has been setting the narrative for this for months
How can this be legal. It certainly isn’t moral. And Hobbs wouldn’t recuse herself abd oversaw a corrupt election that just happened to favor her.
Dope GOPe didn’t bother to challenge this in court when they had time to force refusals by Hobbs and her minions. Either by incompetence or by design. This one’s mainly on Guv. Douchey.
It sure does seem that way now, doesn’t it?
Just like Trump has a way of making the RINOs and Leftists show their collective backsides, a slop of defeat via corruption and illegality brings these losers on FR out of the woodwork.
I guess that is how we find out what people are really made of.
And one might dryly point out that those same people see nothing wrong with the people running elections starting a PAC to silence people who have valid issues with the way elections are being run. Especially when the process breaks down conveniently in Republican areas, and it takes a week to “count the ballots” even though they had two years to get it right.
But hey, both Leftists here on FR, and those running elections in places like Arizona, view this kind of thing as “competence”.
In their case, I believe that the delay of a week and all the unexpected failures really ARE competence.
Just not competence the way people like you or I view it.
Just out of curiosity, what is your definition of pro and anti-Maga I voted for Trump twice for president. Is that by itself enough for me to be pro-Maga, or nor necessarily?
Guess their plan worked.
That, and our bunch didn’t have one.
