“Republicans” Carrie Cox and Susan Wood continue to engage in lawfare against grassroot and legitimate Republicans just like democrats during the most critical election time. The two club members of Candace Czarny’s fake LD3 filed CV2024-021952 on August 13, 2024 requesting relief related to “legal power to call and preside“ over the upcoming Legislative District 3 Statutory Meeting to elect officers. This proves that the private club illegally impersonating LD3 while committing fraud and campaign finance violations always intended to file this lawsuit no matter what. Czarny also states in her club newsletter that is the reason for the lawsuit saying “2 Precinct Committeemen filed a case in Maricopa Superior Court to get an answer on who will be holding the LD3 Statutory Officer and State Committeeman election in 2024.“
Timothy La Sota, PLC was again the filing attorney for the plaintiffs. This is yet another example of “Republican” against Republican lawfare from La Sota and other attorneys in a series of losses. The Honorable Judge Frank W. Moskowitz ruled in case CV 2023-004799 that “It does not preclude political parties from holding other LD meetings and elections of officers, which may be necessary due to election contests, vacancies, or removals.” and “Here, the March election did not violate § 16-823.” and “IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s (Candace Czarny’s) claim for injunctive relief.”
In a related case funded by Czarny and her allies, The Honorable Judge Scott A. Blaney noted “THE COURT FINDS that Plaintiff was not candid with the Court in his sworn testimony. Plaintiff’s answers on cross-examination were evasive and lacked credibility, as did Plaintiff’s demeanor while testifying.“ and “Plaintiff’s lack of candor under oath greatly undermines his case.” The judge ruled in case CV 2024-008238 that “Plaintiff has failed to establish his entitlement to injunctive relief. Good cause shown, and in the Court’s discretion: IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction.”
This latest third filing was met with disgust by the Maricopa County GOP Chair saying “With only 66 days until the General Election, these Precinct Committeemen (Cox and Woods) have chosen to re-litigate a case that has already been brought by Candice Czarny, adjudicated by our courts, and ultimately delivered a victory to Maricopa County Republican Committee and the rightful LD3… It is clear that while we are focused on victory for President Donald Trump and our Republican candidates up and down the ballot, these Precinct Committeemen are focused on intra-party politics and titles that should reflect honor, hard work and servant leadership instead of the petty childish attention they are wishing to attain.” See the response to the frivolous lawsuit already once dismissed by a judge from the Maricopa GOP EGC:
AZGOP Allegedly Displeased with La Sota’s Lawfare Against Republicans
Despite using his services in the past under criminal Jeff Dewit, the AZGOP is allegedly quite displeased with La Sota’s lawfare against Republicans. According to an anonymous first-hand witness, AZGOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda has communicated to her entire board that “As long as she is Chair, the AZGOP will no longer engage of the services of Mr. La Sota.”
Czarny is Suspended as a PC for 2 Years and Unable to Attend or Hold Elected Office:
- On December 14, 2023, the MCRC EGC suspended Candace Czarny from LD3 and the County Committee for a period of 24 months saying “Ms Czarny will no longer be recognized by either body nor have any interaction including but not limited to: attendance at county or district meetings, to hold an elected office, any voting rights or any other privileges granted as a precinct committeeman in Maricopa County.”
