PHOENIX (AP) — The Republican speaker of the Arizona House faces voters Tuesday and the anger of supporters of former President Donald Trump after he rejected pleas to help overturn the 2020 election results and testified before Congress about the efforts.
Speaker Rusty Bowers is trying to move to the state Senate because of term limits and faces an opponent who criticizes him for refusing to help Trump or go along with a contentious 2021 “audit” that Republican leaders in the Senate commissioned.
Bowers faces an uphill battle in the eastern Phoenix suburb of Mesa, especially after the state Republican Party censured him following his June testimony before the panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Congress and Trump endorsed his opponent, former state Sen. David Farnsworth.

But instead he wants a promotion for his duplicity: a seat in the state Senate.
Arizona voters can end his career today!
Dear media,
It’s not “to overturn the 2020 election” it’s “to correct the fraudulent 2020 election results.”
This is what happens when you listen to your party and not your constituents!
Apparently Rusty forgot the first rule of campaigning in a western state (maybe not Californicate), he forgot the Cowboy hat.
Makes you wonder why he resisted the request to do the right thing, and allow the audit?
I hope this guy crashes and burns.
End his career.
All that was asked of him was a true and accurate audit of votes.
He declined.
What was he hiding?
What was he hiding?
That both the Democrat & Republican corporations cheat their asses off in every election.
Hey, has Fox called the races in AZ yet or is it too early?
Ding-Dong the RINO’s gone!
Who’s that RINO?
Rusty the RINO!
Ding-Dong the deep state RINO’s gone!
“Arizona voters can end his career today!”
Everyone who supported the cheat needs to lose by huge margins. It has to hurt — a lot! They expected we’d roll over and move on.
