If an R elected loses an R group. does that person stay elected?

 If not, John Kavanagh has something to worry about.  


In 2022, he faced a primary challenge from the right, where there isn't much room.  Maybe in 2024, he'll be challenged on forsaking Scottsdale.

Earlier this week, The Coalition of Greater Scottsdale (COGS), an R-leaning group that focuses on Scottsdale, sent out an email.


From that email (emphasis added by me) -


Do you agree that LOCAL governments should NOT be controlled
by the Arizona state senate and house?

******************************************************************************************

ALERT: State of Arizona“representatives of the public” want to eliminate Charter cities
example? YOUR Scottsdale’s form of government.


:,
    What could change?
        If approved, the AZ legislature could decide
  • to change the model of government for the Scottsdale such as the number of council members,
  • whether council members are nonpartisan as we have now
  • the disposition of any preserved land. Without Charter City protection, the legislature could require the city to sell the Scottsdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve thousands of acres for development.
  • …and more state-level negative-impact decisions like they have done to us on Short Term Rentals!


STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING:

Immediately send an e-mail to State Senator, JOHN KAVANAGH jkavanagh@azleg.gov who has forgotten that he represents Scottsdale residents. His support of this (and some other recent local power-grabbing bills) is unforgivable! Tell him NO NO NO on Concurrent Resolution 1023. .

NO: Each city should decide its own unique characteristics as determined by the local residents
NO  Legislators who live in other parts of Arizona should not be making Scottsdale decisions.
NO  Senator Kavanaagh needs reminding WHO he is suppose to represent---PEOPLE not political party negative-impact  bills

 
Thank you for taking action NOW
Your COGS Board of Directors

The bill only affects Tucson and Phoenix-not Scottsdale.

Actually, the bill hasn't been amended. As is, it would affect ALL charter cities.
