UPDATE: The Maricopa County Republican Committee has responded to Candace’s false email, saying: “In the event you have heard information to the contrary, please be assured this meeting will take place at the time and location specified…” and “We look forward to seeing you on March 30th! Thank you, Craig Berland MCRC Chairman.”
As predicted, Candace Czarny has tried a desperate tyrant gambit to cancel the March 30th LD3 Meeting saying “Please disregard the Maricopa County Republican Committee’s (MCRC) call letter calling for a new election for Executive Officers for LD3 on March 30, 2023”. Her email also stated “There will be no meeting.” Candace claims that the challenge did not challenge the officers which is a lie. See the original challenge at the bottom AND a SECOND challenge which ALSO mentions the officers!
She falsely claims “the MCRC is statutorily required to provide 10 days-notice in calling for a special meeting. The MCRC missed the deadline with the call letter in question.” That is also a lie. Letters were postmarked Monday, March 20th. Lets count shall we: 20=1, 21=2, 22=3, 23=4, 24=5, 25=6, 26=7, 27=8, 28=9, 29=10. 10 Days+ notice for a meeting on the 30th.
She then claims “This meeting that the MCRC is trying to call will not happen. There is no meeting on March 30, 2023, & there is no new election”.
She followed that up with a threat to involve the Arizona Republican Party of Arizona which has no authority over the Maricopa County Republican Committee, and of course a lawfare threat to the entire MCRC saying “I will be speaking to my legal counsel this week. Any further illegal interference in LD3 will be met in court.”
Candace is in a fantasy land of lies all design for the Tyrant to try and hold onto power.
If it walks like a DEMOCRAT and quacks like a DEMOCRAT, what is it?
LD3 WILL meet on March 30th and Elect a New Board–a REPUBLICAN one that honors the US Constitution and the values of a Republic.
Candace Czarny knows she is an illegitimate Chair. The coup happened on December 1, 2022 when Proxy and Election Fraud (the preferred tactic of RINOs and the Establishment to hold on to power) was used to install her in Legislative District 3. This proxy fraud was later admitted to publicly in Republican Briefs by one of the PCs stating they had been doing it for a 14 years. On March 7, 2023, the Maricopa County Republican Committee EGC comprised of the board and LD chairs censured Candace and demanded she resign. Then they voted 19 Yes and 7 No (2 Abstained) for LD3 to have a new election administered by the MCRC. This has been scheduled for Thursday March 30th.
Candace knows she will lose and so like any Tyrant has a death-grip on power, doing everything she can to “cancel” a duly noticed and called election; and in case that fails is having her cronies like Cathy Schwanke calling and sending out texts filled with lies telling PCs not to attend. Power is never willingly released by corrupt dictators like Candace Czarny.
Below is a Plan to Victory for Arizona with PROVEN Methods from Florida, Louisiana, and Wisconsin. Watch the below video and see screenshots below but here are some high level details:
Florida passed a Bill to increase penalties for ballot harvesting to a 3rd Degree Felony
At the County Level:
Focus on county level (This tells me Richer and most of MCBOS will have to go as they will block this) or Maricopa should be split into 4 smaller.
All OTHER counties than Maricopa should do be doing this.
According to the findings and video, meetings with officials do not result in change but good press conferences have an impact.
Louisiana researched donors for officials. Then pressure that one person (groups cannot be pressured)
At the State Level:
Live stream conference with that one person until they buckle (like Wendy Rogers or a key donor)
On February 9th, 2023, Dan Grimm was appointed as parliamentarian for the LD3 meeting by Candace Czarny. After a disorganized and terrible start, Candace abdicated, appointing Dan Grimm the temporary Chair of the meeting (which is a violation of the bylaws (LD3 Bylaws which state in ARTICLE IV – ELECTED OFFICERS, Section 3. District Chairman #4 “Presiding at all meetings of the District & Board unless he/she designates another member of the Board to preside in his/her stead.” Candace instead designated an outside, non-member of LD3 to preside over the meeting in clear violation.)
Dan proceeded to then knowingly miscall voice votes, misinterpret Roberts Rules of Orders and Bylaws, stall, attempt to confuse, and generally stomp all over the rights of the LD3 PCs in a dishonest display fitting a “Hired Gun”. It was unclear whether he was being paid or not, but it now appears that misusing corrupt Parliamentarians to squash the rights of PCs and the people is the preferred method of the establishment. Do not take my word for it, at the bottom is the video proof and here are what a few PCs in LD3 had to say about Mr. Grimm:
“I found him to be way inadequate and I sure hope we did not pay him to be there. We wasted more than an hour because he didn’t know what he was doing. He had to spend considerable time looking up The Roberts rules of order. He ended up correcting himself at least 2 or more times. I also wondered why when the vote was done, why it took so long to announce the results. In some cases it was easily 10 or more minutes just sitting there. I wouldn’t necessarily say he was unfair as he was just inept.” – Carol T.
“There were two people, that I can recall, Mr. Ference and a woman unknown to me, had sited specific articles and sections within the Roberts Rules of Order stating that voice and stand up votes could not count the proxies. This is because the Proxy Grantor is only granting proxy for the election upon what is within the agenda. I stood and was allowed the floor for a point of inquiry and asked if Mr. Grimm if he could site any Section or Article written within the Roberts Rules to refute what is written in Roberts Rules that was brought to knowledge by both Mr. Ference and the unknown female. Mr. Grimm, instead of siting any written, Section or Article he stated that it was his opinion that the written Article and Section did not apply. I then asked if he was a judge? Not to be sarcastic but to understand if Mr. Grimm has the final word of judgement. After this question there were people yelling but I could see and hear that he stated no. That brought me to my third question of how he, Mr. Grimm could state his opinion would have authority and would supersede what is actually written for the body to follow. Then Mr. Grimm denied he stated the word opinion and at that moment I interjected by asking if he would like us the play back the video to show he did state opinion. Mr. Grimm continued to state he did not state opinion and then someone else took the floor.” – Hal M
“Dan grim told me he does parliament as a volunteer. I do think he was biased and knew he was wrong finding ways to justify his ‘opinions’ “ – Judy H
“Dan Grimm was to be the parliamentarian to help with following Roberts Rules but he ran our meeting which was the role of our chair. He also is supposed to be neutral, which he was not. Several times he cited his opinion and was avoiding the actual rules despite several people correcting him & showing the actual rule. He was asked numerous times to give the rules he was referring to but never did. He also did not follow the voice vote results of the body when the initial vote was clearly in favor of a YES. He developed a pattern of disagreeing on the rules/process, then when corrected, stalled for time, went around in circles and a few times then said he stood corrected and reversed his decision. He caused us to waste several hours which caused frustration and prohibited us from completing the agenda. He also did a poor job of facilitating the meeting and his actions were very biased. Moving forward we need a parliamentarian who knows Roberts rules, does not favor one side’s agenda/outcome and plays a support role, not replacing the job of chair to run the meeting.” – Michelle S
“I had the sad experience to witness multiple instances of clear bias from Mr. Dan Grimm. Dan not only assumed the chair, he clearly lost his ability to hold a fair meeting, in my honest opinion! There were several examples of him calling for voice votes. When those voice votes clearly went against the agenda of Mrs. Czarny, Dan would say “It was too close to call” and wait for a call for a standing vote (division). At one point in the meeting, when the body became aware of this delay tactic, he actually urged members of the body to make a call for division, again stating a voice vote that he called for, he deemed “too close to call” yet again. The resulting standing vote revealed that there was a difference of over 50 votes in said “too close to call” voice vote!
These clear conflicts of interests should be stopped, and the LD3 body should have the right to vote on any further LD3 funds being spent on a biased referee and security forces. I’m specifically talking about hiring the co-founder of America Pack to act as security and two other Phoenix Police officers for a church hall the LD rents in Scottsdale. It would seem if we truly did need a police force to act as security (doubtful), we would be far better served using off duty police from the jurisdiction our hall is located in, Scottsdale!” – Jeff F.
Dan Grimm has previously been caught on recording/email falsifying meeting minutes as was called out in Republican Briefs. BRIAN FERENCE: In my prior Republican Briefs post, I mentioned that an anonymous whistleblower had exposed corruption of the MCRC Chair with an unedited audio clip of the executive board regarding a recommendation for LD3 revote. Dan Grimm, as the elected secretary, it appears that you have inadvertently admitted that the recording is valid in an email 1/12/2023 to the EGC. Then you attempted to hide behind “bonds of confidentiality” while also stating “Based on the discussion conducted at BOTH Executive Board meetings and the context for each situation, LD11 vs. LD3, Chair Mickie Niland’s recommendation to each LD is consistent with that discussion, even if the final wording released in the recording doesn’t completely reflect that parallel discussion. “This is critical due to 12A Robert’s Rules of Order: The Framing of Main Motions: 10:9 Wording of a Main Motion which clearly states: “If a main motion is adopted, it becomes the officially recorded statement of an action taken by the assembly. A motion should therefore be worded in a concise, unambiguous, and complete form appropriate to such a purpose.” This means that prior discussion is irrelevant. Dan you know this as a parlimentarian. The only possible conclusion can be that a willful and purposeful falsification of the recommendation and meeting minutes has occurred in order to deceive the PCs in LD3 and their Board in order to front some agenda or favoritism. This is gross misconduct, an ethical violation, and a clear violation of the Secretary’s Oath of Office. Dan, how can you continue to deny this failure of fiduciary responsibility? Faced with this failure of the most basic duty of the secretary, how can you continue as a candidate for MCRC secretary?
Video Evidence (at bottom)
At the February 9th LD3 Meeting, Parliamentarian Dan Grimm tried to count proxy votes during a standing vote. The point of information was made that proxies were not counted during the State Meeting and the question was specifically asked for standing votes and Proxies were not counted. Dan of course said he disagreed because of “Robert’s Rules of Order”. When he was asked to cite the section of Robert’s Rules and said “No”. He was then accused of “Making up a rule”. Here are the Actual rules and sections:
PROXIES
Proxy Votes are NOT counted in a voice vote or rising vote as was modeled at the State Committeeman meeting. This specific question was asked and proxy votes are not counted in this type of vote.
#45:2 One Person, One Vote. It is a fundamental principle of parliamentary law that each person who is a member of a deliberative assembly is entitled to one-and only one- vote on a question.
#45:56 Absentee Voting. It is a fundamental Principle of parliamentary law that the right to vote is limited to the members of an organization who are actually present at the time the vote is taken in a regular or properly called meeting…
45:70 Proxy Voting. A proxy is a power of attorney given by one person to another to vote in his stead; the term also designates the person who holds the power of attorney. Proxy voting is not permitted in ordinary deliberative assemblies unless the laws of the state in which the society is incorporated require it, or the charter or bylaws of the organization provide for it. Ordinarily it should neither be allowed nor required, because proxy voting is incompatible with the essential characteristics of a deliberative assembly…
Then a PC stands up and reads from the LD3 bylaws which expressly states that Proxies are only to be used in meetings where an election or vote on bylaws is scheduled. Using Proxies during a standing vote on the February 9th meeting VIOLATES THE BYLAWS.
In the 2nd video, Dan falsely states that Robert’s Rules does not address Proxies. This is false, they are mentioned several times referenced above.
In the 3rd video, Dan admits he was lying about proxies.
In the 4th video, Dan bizarrely announces on a motion vote that we will “Count the No votes first to save time.” A lengthy process ensues, all in an attempt to run out the clock and try and get the time to run out without any business being done. Over 25 minutes are then wasted. This is again AGAINST Robert’s Rules of Order which states in 29:5 Procedure for Retaking a Vote. “When a Division is demanded, the chair immediately takes the vote again, first by having the affirmative rise, then by having the negative rise.” NO TIME WAS SAVED AT ALL AND COUNTING THE YES VOTES FIRST WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER.
In the 5th video, we see LD3 Video Testimony from BOTH SIDES admitting Proxy Fraud and Election Fraud During the Dec 1st Election.
This is corroborated by the Maricopa County Investigation under former Chair Mickie Niland which concluded rules and bylaws were violated.
In the 6th video, we hear eye witness testimony that during a recent Roberts Rules of Order Training put on by Dan Grimm and Mike Peck, Peck admitted he lies and breaks rules to move meetings along because the body doesn’t know any better. Dan was then questioned on if he did the same thing.

On Tuesday, March 7, 2023, The Maricopa County EGC (LD Chairs and Board Members) voted 19 Yes and 7 No (2 Abstained) for LD3 to have a new election administered by the MCRC. In another majority vote, the MCRC EGC formally censured LD3 Chair Candace Czarny and demanded her resignation over multiple Bylaw violations as well as her refusal to cooperate with an audit and canvas of the LD3 December 1, 2022 Election. The full text of the censure can be found below:
Whereas on Thursday February 9, 2023, the Maricopa County Chair delivered to Candace Czarny through the First Vice-Chair a letter stating that Ballots, Credentials, and Proxy documents from the Legislative District 3 December 1, 2022 election be turned over to the custody of the County to perform an audit and canvas. This request was refused and the documents have not been turned over.
Whereas on Thursday February 9, 2023, the Maricopa County First Vice-Chair and a Maricopa County Member-at-Large acting as the Maricopa County Chairman’s representatives were expelled from the LD3 meeting chamber on Candace Czarny’s sole authority.
Whereas the above two items violate The MCRC Bylaws ARTICLE II – MEMBERS, Section 4 – District Chairman #3 which states: “Cooperate with the MCRC Chairman” AND the LD3 Bylaws ARTICLE IV – ELECTED OFFICERS, Section 3. District Chairman #6 “Cooperating with the Maricopa County Republican Committee Chairman…”.
Whereas on Thursday February 9, 2023 Candace violated the LD3 Bylaws which state in ARTICLE IV – ELECTED OFFICERS, Section 3. District Chairman #4 “Presiding at all meetings of the District & Board unless he/she designates another member of the Board to preside in his/her stead.” Candace instead designated an outside, non-member of LD3 to preside over the meeting in clear violation.
Whereas Candance Czarny has also violated LD3 Bylaws ARTICLE IV – ELECTED OFFICERS, Section 3. District Chairman:
8. Having usual powers of supervision and management customary to the Office of Chairman or as may be assigned by the Board and implementing policies for the efficient and responsible operation of the District, subject to approval by the Board.
9. In cooperation with the District Treasurer, preparing a budget for the calendar year and submit such budget to the Board for adoption, be an authorized signer on District checks, and have final approval on all District expenditures.
10. Furnishing a monthly-itemized statement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses required in the performance of duties as Chairman, as set forth in the annual budget. Any expense more than the amount budgeted shall be subject to the approval of the Board.
Whereas Candance Czarny has also violated MCRC Bylaws ARTICLE II – MEMBERS, Section 2 – PCs, E. Duties of PC #9
“Fostering loyalty to the Republican Party and promote its ideals.” On Thursday January 12, 2023 on her sole authority, Candace Czarny instated rule #6 “Since Reformed Living Bible Church is on school property, firearms are not permitted.” This rule is a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment and expressly against the Republican Platform and its ideals.
Whereas LD3 Bylaws ARTICLE VI – MEETINGS & QUORUM Section 8. states “Every meeting of the District shall begin with an invocation and a pledge of allegiance.” An unusual Agenda was created by Candace Czarny for the Thursday, February 9, 2023 meeting where the Program and Guest Speakers were placed after Credentialling and before the Call to Order. An attempt to skip the invocation and pledge of allegiance occurred; until the PCs insisted; with the body reciting the pledge of allegiance and finally compelling a presider to give an invocation.
Whereas Legislative District 3 voted on Thursday, February, 9, 2023 in a Vote of No Confidence in Candace Czarny and Demanding her Immediate Resignation passing by majority with 92 Yes and 51 No votes.
Whereas In the MCRC Bylaws ARTICLE I – OBJECT, Section 2 – Authority states “The EGC has the authority to rule on any question brought before it from a MCRC member concerning the interpretation of county or legislative district bylaws.”
Therefore, the Maricopa County Republican Committee Executive Guidance Committee formally censures Candace Czarny and demands her immediate resignation as Legislative District 3 Chair.
Responding to LD3 Candace Czarny’s claims in Feb 13th Republican Briefs on the Treasurer and Bank Accounts where she stated “On 1/10/23 Rutkowski & Alford were informed by the bank, Treasurer Maldonado removed all signers on the account on 12/22 and was now the only signer on the account. The act of Treasurer Maldonado to remove the banking information of Czarny & Alford violated the LD3 bylaws.”
This appears to be clear projection, as the day earlier, the Treasurer stated in a public report to the LD that he was the one removed from the bank accounts. See the video at the bottom.
Now an Audio recording has surfaced of former County 2nd Vice-Chair Michal Joyner, revealing that she both knew that it was in fact Kevin who was removed and the real reason why it was done.
What evidence does Candace have of her apparently false claims?
Audio Recording of Former 2nd Vice Chair Michal Joyner on Real Reason Treasurer Was Removed:
On Thurday night, LD3 had a “Vote of NO CONFIDENCE” in Candace Czarny and demanded her immediate resignation. The vote passed with majority 92 Yes votes and 51 No votes.
This came after new revelations in the Treasurer’s report which called out Candace’s unapproved spending (including huge amounts on unnecessary police) with no approved budget (a requirement of the bylaws) and having violated the Bylaws multiple times including REMOVING THE TREASURER from the bank accounts. Earlier in the evening, Candace ejected Maricopa 1st Vice Chair Shelby Bush from the meeting.
Resigning should prove easy for Candace, as after another disorganized and terrible start to the meeting, she abdicated the running of the meeting to hired gun Parliamentarian Dan Grimm, appointing him Chair for the evening.
*Note the Treasurer has since been re-added, but is calling for a full audit.
Proxy Votes are NOT counted in a voice vote or rising vote as was modeled at the State Committeeman meeting. This specific question was asked and proxy votes are not counted in this type of vote.

OBTAINING AND ASSIGNING THE FLOOR
#3:30 Before a member in an assembly can make a motion or speak in debate-the parliamentary name given to any form of discussion of the merits of a motion-he must obtain the floor, that is he must be recognized by the chair as having the exclusive rights to be heard at that time. The chair must recognize any member who seeks the floor while entitled to it.
MOTIONS WHICH ARE IN ORDER WHEN ANOTHER HAS THE FLOOR AND DO NOT REQUIRE A SECOND
t44-t45
Parliamentary Inquiry 33:3-5
Point of Order 23
Request for Information 33:6-10
OUT OF ORDER
#4:17 When a member who has legitimately obtained the floor offers a motion which is not in order, the chair may be able, in certain instances, to suggest an alternative motion which would be in order and would carry out the desired intent to the satisfaction of the maker. If the chair is obliged to rule that the motion is not in order, he says, “The chair rules that the motion is not in order because [briefly stating the reason] He must not say “You are out of order,” nor, “Your motion is out of order.” To state that a member is out of order implies that the member is guilty of a breach of decorum or other misconduct; and even in such a case, the chair does not normally address the member in the second person. If the chair rules that a motion is not in order, his decision is subject to an appeal of the judgement of the assembly.
APPEAL
#24:1 By electing a presiding officer, the assembly delegates to him the authority and duty to make necessary rulings on questions of parliamentary law. But any two members have the right to Appeal from his decision on such a question. By one member making the appeal and another seconding it, the question is taken from the chair and vested in the assembly for final decision.
