On Monday, August 21, 2023, a UNANIMOUS vote by the Mohave Board of Supervisors denied the Mohave County Republican Chair Jeanne Kentch’s disgusting political attack on her opponent, the lawfully elected Director of District 2 Misty Devenney (who won 2/3 of her vote by a landslide). Kentch filed a bogus injunction against harassment which was served upon Devenney’s win and Kentch shuttered the Mohave Republican offices. Kentch is very light on any actual evidence and seeks to punish dissent and Free Speech. The Injunction is currently being appealed.
Kentch then moved against multiple Precinct Committeemen including Devenney, stating their positions were vacant when this was not true. During her testimony (video below) Kentch outed herself as abusing her power, constantly playing the victim like a Democrat would and using lawfare like a liberal. Many PCs spoke against Kentch during the Board of Supervisors meeting, also dispelling the lies that it is only a “small group of disruptors” a common lie that other RINOs like Jeff Dewit frequently tell. She lied several other times including that she had “unanimous support form her board” and you can clearly see that 2 board members including the 1st Vice Chair (only 6 of the 8 did) did not sign her false letter below.
Misty Devenney had this to say: “Yesterday was a victory! Yet District 2 Office is still closed and a lot more work has to be done! I’m standing up for myself, my district, and my country. Beyond the absolute absurdity of these proceedings and wasteful time and expense to the Mohave County tax payers without one example, situation or detailed evidence of my “bad behavior” was stated or provided, yet again! It is a very ALARMING fact the elected Mohave County Tax Assessor Ms. Jeanne Kentch so egregiously miscalculated 3.5 weeks since winning my election as District 2 Director on July 27, 2023. That Ms. Kentch herself declared then barred me from fulfilling my duties, to Equal and equate to 3 months Vacancy of seat and duties. Not only misrepresenting this fact once but multiple times! Seriously raises questions on her ability to perform simple calculations.”
Comment was sought from Jeanne Kentch and the Mohave County GOP but they did not respond as of the update time to this article.
Judge for yourself and watch the videos below:
Mohave Board of Supervisors Agenda Item 8 Comments and Vote:
Call to the Public Comments Many of Which Are in Support of Devenney:
Clear #Lawfare Against #FreeSpeech and the #FirstAmendment by the RINOs of Mohave County just like LIBERALS. It has been reported that Misty Devenney won 2/3 of the vote to become Director. According to Misty Devenney, they did not even inform her of the final vote counts. The Mohave County Republican Committee immediately filed an injunction against workplace harassment, stripping her of her 2nd Amendment even though she does not own or use firearms, and completed an improperly done censure without a vote by the whole body, and then barred her from the office and email database demanding a revote:
UPDATE: @MohaveCountyGOP your #RINO Chair Jeanne Kentch exposes herself with her lies as she uses lawfare filing workplace harassment injunction, closes offices, in an attempt to thwart the District 2 Director (Elected Chair) and overturn the vote of the people and PCs. She tries to request her rivals be deemed a vacancy. Then she invokes Rino @JeffDeWitAZ before she LOSES and the Mohave Board votes UNANIMOUSLY there is no vacancy. Watch the videos:
The single most important takeaway is that by Censuring me, RINOs and Establishment Republicans have validated the other Censures and refuted their prior claims that they were “meaningless and a waste of time”. By this action, they admit that Censures are an important tool of the People to hold their elected officials accountable and can and should be used. With this faction of the Republican party following suit, it is amazing that Censures have at last United the Republican Party.
Below is the Censure that Legislative District 14 passed on July 17, 2023. By reading it, it is clear that this is really a Censure against Free Speech, the First Amendment to the US Constitution, the Republican Party Platform, and about a personal vendetta that LD14 Chair and ULTRA RINO Andrew Adams has. An LD14 PC reported that the only PC to speak in favor of the Censure was the Chair himself Andrew Adams. This is a major violation of the Chairman’s duties to remain neutral and a complete abuse of power. Unlike the LD8 Censure of Yvonne Cahill, I was not given the opportunity to defend myself or provide a statement. Yvonne was even invited to speak at the LD8 meeting and the LD8 Chair rightly remained neutral.
One LD14 PC who spoke against the LD14 Censure later wrote “All it references are tweets by Brian against 4 individuals. Kind of reminds me of Trump and the “MEAN TWEETS” syndrome.”
This is possibly the most pathetic Censure that anyone has ever written. Not only does it fail to follow ANY standard format, but unlike most censures it does not focus on voting record, supporting Democrats, or other factual egregious offenses. Instead, it boils down to basically “Brian said some things Andrew didn’t like”. The censure mentions Brian tweeting “Andrew is not Ultra MAGA he is Ultra RINO”. Firstly that was not tweeted, but rather posted to a private Signal group which was later leaked. Secondly, it is true that Andrew Adams is an Ultra RINO.
AMAZINGLY, the LD14 Censure even includes a tweeted question! “According to one of the comments, you met with Ukraine students in a PR opp is that correct?” WOW Censured for asking a question. Real compelling stuff here.
It also includes some hearsay accusations about not wanting to sit down and burning bridges with no evidence or specifics provided. This sounds more like an opinion than anything else. The beginning of the Censure is very strange as it mentions “LD 14 Code of Conduct Review”. I am familiar with these types of 1934 German-style tribunals against dissent. Usually even they include some sort of notice or chance for response or defense from the individual they are addressing. It looks like Andrew and LD14 just decided to skip a few steps.
This political stunt is nothing more than a poorly written Censure against Free Speech by ULTRA RINO Andrew Adams over a personal vendetta. The LD14 PCs should be ashamed that they have let their incompetent and un-American Chair mislead them so completely. Andrew, I would be happy to hold a training for you and your PCs on how to properly research and format a censure that doesn’t violate Free Speech, the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and the Republican Party Platform. While I am at it, I would be happy to give you some personal training on how to conduct yourself as the Chair of a Legislative District.
Let’s Read the Statement by an LD14 PC & The Full Censure:
On Thursday, June 29, 2023, Legislative District 3 joined Legislative District 8 in Censuring CD1 Member at Large for the AZGOP Yvonne Cahill. The Censure called out Yvonne’s continued willful and repeated refusal to answer her constituents, provide required meeting meetings and vote counts, demanded that she immediately resign. Please see the two censures below:
The illegitimate and deposedFascist Candace Czarny whom you support (and have indicated in several letters and emails including one to a judge) is now attempting to legitimize herself by holding fake Nazi tribunals against dissent and the First Amendment and seeks to Strip this Elected PC of their Voting Rights Directly Violating State Statute and County Bylaws (at bottom)

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.”
How will you correct this gross misconduct and embarrassment against the US Constitution, Arizona Constitution, AZGOP, and yourself?
The Republican Party is UNITING holding elected representatives accountable. This type of UNITY has rarely if ever been seen before in the Republican Party. Below is an updated table clearly illustrating how many Legislative Districts and the sheer numbers of Precinct Committeemen showing a united front. Of course, this isn’t the type of unity the McCain RINO Uniparty Republican’s want. They want unity behind them meaning blind subservience and submission while they continue to line their pockets and destroy this country. Well the People have had enough and it has the McCain RINO Uniparty Republicans terrified. The wailing and gnashing of teeth can be heard as they claim censures are meaningless and use it to fear-monger; even as the US House of Representatives attempted and failed to censure Adam Schiff and the Arizona House of Representatives successfully censures “bible thief” Stephanie Stahl-Hamilton.
The latest such censure (read full text) Legislative District 23 Censured 24 Republicans (including Joseph Chaplik) which encourages them to not run for re-election and resign, “so that another Republican willing to Honor their Oath and Uphold the Arizona Constitution can take their place.” LD23 states they are in violation of “Maladministration, Maleficence, the Arizona Constitution, Oath of Office to which they consented to be governed and have furthermore lost the Trust of the PCs of Maricopa in LD23.” LD23 states that “All 24 Republicans no longer have the support nor the assistance in re-election efforts going forward from the PCs of Maricopa in LD23” and “All 24 Republicans are expelled from attending any Maricopa LD23 meetings.“
The LD23 Chair Michelle Altherr commented: “It’s 24 Republicans: 2 from the ethics committee to include Chaplik, 4 from the BOS, 18 from the House.”
On Monday, Joseph Chaplik in an absolute panic over 119 Republican PCs in his LD3 censuring him over his role in the Liz Harris expulsion and his 1st Amendment violations, released a propaganda video where almost every single word is lies as he desperately spins all truth.
Here are some of the comments on the video itself:
Rep Chaplik answers were disingenuous. They sounded like Kamala’s answers, word salad. He did vote to send out the report which stated that Rep Harris ‘committed disorderly behavior, therefore violating Rule 1…’ Additionally Rule 1 pertains to a House member who disrupts voting. A good question to ask the ethics committee is how they used this particular rule. George that would be an excellent question for you to ask. Second, for the life of me, how is it ethical to bring in anonymously submitted evidence which is precisely what was done with the text messages? Moreover Rep Chaplik received a letter from attorney Thaler that the text messages were illegally obtained and to cease and desist from using them. Although Rep Chaplik states that the Committee is not a court of law, it is indeed unethical to use anonymously submitted evidence. Furthermore Rep Harris had a right to face her accuser. This entire hearing was an absolute embarrassment. It was a witch hunt! Finally, one of the foundational principles of the Republican party is based on Law and Order/Rule of law which the Ethics committee did not adhere to. Furthermore, that principle is the heart of the issue with the split of LD3, and our party. Those of us who adhere to our party’s principles are now holding these lawbreakers accountable and we’re alerting the public via censures.
Joe lies within first two minutes. He says he didn’t vote with the 2 democrats liz was guilty then immediately says they unanimously voted her guilty. What a liar!
If Chaplik didn’t know Speaker Toma would motion to expel…he should have!!! Every single Republican that voted for expulsion of Harris SHOULD be censured. Chaplik could have voted no on ethics committee panel and be covered. It was a sham hearing and the “report” means nothing. Toma got his vengeance on Harris via willing stooges. YOU guys are the problem, not those censuring. Blame yourselves if majority is lost.
In a shocking and factually incorrect letter to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Moskowitz, AZGOP Chair Jeff DeWit sets a never-before-seen precedent that any precinct committeeman disagreement should be litigated in court. He states he is “writing this letter in support..” of “Candace Czarny.” (an authoritarian who has frequently violated bylaws, Roberts Rules of Order, and the 1st and 2nd Amendment to the Constitution and recently convened Nazi-like Tribunals against dissent) and states “We need the help of the court to intervene.” What a precedent to set. Now any disagreement between PCs can go straight to litigation in the courts. DeWit’s letter mentions “a small group of agitators with a complete lack of decorum”. Well on May 24, 2023, 119 of this small group of agitators met for their LD meeting while the Candace Cabal of half the amount reportedly 60 people met. Nothing shows a greater lack of decorum then sending bold-faced lies to a judge. His misleading letter (which was anonymously obtained and shared) and a factual response correcting the false information from a member of the new LD3 Board is below:
Reply from LD3 Board:
Jeff, your extraneous letter to Judge Moskowitz lacks any evidence to substantiate that you spent 100 + hours unsuccessfully trying to mediate a solution for LD3, and the court needs to intervene. A mediator’s role is to be a neutral facilitator who brings together two opposing parties to allow them to communicate their issues and help them find an amicable solution. The first group of people you should have contacted to discuss the issues pertaining to LD3 are the Board Members; however, three (3) of the Board Members who were elected on 12/1/2022 who do not support Candace Czarny were NOT contacted by you. The second, should have been the PCs who filed the Timely Challenge on 12/6/2022 with the MCRC EGC; to help you understand the issues regarding the 12/1/2022 election however, you did NOT contact them. The third, should have been the 20 + PCs who submitted their 1st hand statements regarding the events they witnessed at the 12/1/2022 election and once again you did NOT contact them either.
Also, on 3/1/2023 I emailed you and the MCRC Chairman, Craig Berland the timeline of events that took place in LD3 along with all the substantiate documents, emails, voice mails and videos as evidence. The MCRC Chairman responded however you did NOT respond to me. It is clear based on your actions that you had no intentions to mediate a solution for LD3 because you already decided to support Candace Czary which explains why you did NOT contact the LD3 Board Members, the PCs who filed the election challenge, the PC witnesses, and myself.
The PCs and the Board Members in LD3 did follow the rule of law starting from the bottom-up which is why they both filed a Timely Challenge with the MCRC EGC per the MCRC Bylaws ARTILE II – MEMBERS SECTION 4 – DISTRICT CHAIRMAN F. Timely Challenge page 4. Therefore, we are not the ones who need to be reminded of the proper and legal process.
Here’s the Timely Challenge filed on 12/4/2022 by the LD3 Board Members:
On 12/14/2022, the MCRC LD3 Challenge Committee gave their report of their findings from their independent investigation. The results are: The LD3 election rules were violated during the Organizational meeting held on December 1, 2022, and the MCRC recommends a Special Meeting be called for the body to re-vote, and in consistency with the recommendation and subsequent re-vote for the LD11 election challenge and investigation (both officers and state committeemen).
Here is the link of the audio of the 12/14/2023 MCRC EGC Board meeting.
Here is the link of the 12/14/2023 MCRC EGC Board meeting minutes taken by Daniel Grimm, Secretary, MCRC that collaborates the above audio recording. “Chair Niland moved to adopt the recommendation of the committee for LD3, similar to LD11, that LD3 convene a meeting with a quorum to decide to have a meeting where a new election would be held. Motion seconded. Vote 7 – 2. Motion passed.”
The current MCRC Board did NOT blindside anyone or go rogue they were simply carrying out what the former MCRC Board did NOT execute!
In your letter to Judge Moskowitz, you conveniently left out the reason for the new election which was the LD3 Bylaws and 12/1/2022 Election Rules were violated which caused the 12/1/2022 election to be invalid. The former MCRC Chair, Niland acknowledges this in her 12/14/2022 email to Candace Czarny and the LD3 Board. Niland said, “Because your meeting rule #4 did not allow for the ballots to be passed to another person after credentialing. According to our interviews, some ballots were submitted early to members of your Nomination/Ballot/Tally Committee before voting actually began and were physically carried to the ballot box by the leaders of these committees.”
The Timely Challenge was NOT completed in December because LD3 did NOT have a Special Meeting in quorum to vote to have a new election until 3/30/23. Also, the canvas or verification of the proxies were NOT performed which Candace Czarny voted to do as part of the Timely Challenge.
You claim, the LD3 1/12/23, meeting the PCs voted to uphold the previous election. As you can hear in the video taken from the 1/12/23 meeting, the PCs ONLY voted to uphold the State Committeemen election NOT the Officers election. Brad Newman motioned, I move that LD3 affirm and accept State Committeemen election held on 12/1/11, according to the recommendations of the MCRC.
In summary, you did not disclose all the facts to Judge Moskowitz informing him the LD3 12/1/22 election was violated therefore Candace Czarny was NOT the duly elected Chair, you did NOT make any attempts to try to mediate a solution for LD3 and you do NOT have any authorization to intervene in the Timely Challenge between LD3 and the MCRC. LD3 resolved the Timely Challenge on 3/30/2023 with the new election of Officers therefore this matter has been settled.
Legislative District 3 on Wednesday, May 24, 2023, took a vote of 119 PCs in person and by proxy and near Unanimously but for 1 No vote Censured the AZGOP Chair Jeff DeWit.
At the same meeting, AZ House Representative Joseph Chaplik was also Unanimously Censured. See both below.
