🚨 ARIZONA ELECTION INTEGRITY & EDUCATION UPDATE 🚨

Another long day at the AZ Capitol yesterday, but Republicans in the House accomplished exceptional things on behalf of the people of this state! I’ll break them up into three categories: Election Integrity, Education, & Critical Race Theory.

ELECTION INTEGRITY

Approximately 3 weeks ago Governor Ducey vetoed my election integrity legislation that would ban the mass mailing of ballots to voters that didn’t request an early ballot. The legislation also added a Class 5 Felony for County Recorders who go rogue and willfully violate this law.

Undeterred by the veto, I reintroduced my legislation as a new bill and yesterday the House once again passed this critically necessary election integrity reform.

HB2905 (banning mass mailing of ballots) now heads to the Senate for a vote! Please let all Senate Republicans know how important it is that they pass HB2905 and send it back to the Governor!

EDUCATION

Yesterday, conservatives in the House added some incredible provisions to the K-12 bill. Take a look!

◼️ Require K-12 schools to teach:

▪️about the evils of communism and totalitarianism

▪️about the original intent of the founding documents and principles of the United States (from the actual source documents)

▪️first-hand accounts of people who escaped communist and totalitarian governments and now enjoy the blessings of freedom and liberty in America

A huge shoutout goes to Representative Judy Burges for bringing this idea to the House!

◼️ Total ban on masks and vaccine mandates for K-12 student in-person learning:

▪️School districts will no longer be allowed to mandate face masks or COVID vaccines for in-person learning

A huge shoutout goes to Representative Jacqueline Parker for this!

◼️ Total ban on teaching Critical Race Theory in public schools:

▪️Public schools will no longer be allowed to teach or spend public monies on the instruction of this hateful, racist, anti-American ideology

A huge shoutout goes to Representative John Fillmore for bringing this amendment to fix the CRT language and make it a TOTAL ban!

CRITICAL RACE THEORY

Three weeks ago the Governor also vetoed my legislation banning Critical Race Theory and prohibiting spending public monies on it at ALL levels of government (city, county, state agency, etc).

CRT is being used by leftist politicians and bureaucrats to:

▪️ Undermine and attack our great police officers
▪️ Indoctrinate taxpayer funded public employees
▪️ Institutionalize racism, sexism and bigotry within our local governments and society
▪️ Fundamentally transform our local governments’ worldview
▪️ Encourage the exact kind of racism that America and MLK Jr. fought so hard to stomp out
▪️ Destroy the exceptionalism of the United States

This disgusting ideology is the opposite of what America stands. This legislation is too important to allow it to be vetoed, which is why I have re-introduced it as HB2906 and yesterday Republicans in the House re-passed the bill.

The bill now needs one final vote in the Senate and then will go back to the Governor for his signature.

Please let all Senate Republicans know how important it is that they pass HB2906 and send it back to the Governor!

————————————

Yesterday it was every Republican who passed these great pieces of legislation. Not a SINGLE Democrat had the courage to join with Republicans to do the right thing for the people of Arizona. In fact, nearly EVERY Democrat actively fought AGAINST these great things. Democrats called the majority of the House—and by extension the majority of Arizonans—racists, liars, white nationalists and much more as they opposed these measures.

Let their attacks and opposition be a stark reminder:

Elections matter.

I, along with many of my fellow Republicans, am fighting like hell to make sure the voice of the People is not just heard, but is acted on, at the State Capitol!

Thank you for supporting us as we fight for you!

🚨 HUGE WIN FOR ARIZONANS 🚨

Governor Ducey just signed into law my bill, HB2906, that fully bans the hateful, racist, and divisive Critical Race Theory at all levels of government within our state.

Arizona does not need even one penny of taxpayer funding being used to support ideologies that:

▪️ Institutionalizes racism, sexism and bigotry within our local governments and society

▪️ Encourages the exact kind of racism that MLK Jr. and America fought so hard to stomp out

▪️ Destroys the exceptionalism of the United States

▪️ Undermines and attacks our great police officers

▪️ Indoctrinates taxpayer-funded public employees or students

This bill rightfully puts an end to spending public monies of any sort on this disgusting, regressive ideology.

Here is my statement on the signing of my bill:

“This first in the nation legislation banning critical race theory at all levels of government makes Arizona the national leader in combating this divisive curriculum. Arizona stands with Martin Luther King Jr.’s proclamation that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, and I’m grateful for the support of Governor Ducey and my colleagues in passing this important legislation.”

Democrats and the fake news media want you to think that Critical Race Theory isn’t happening in Arizona. They are wrong.

Read my statement below:

“Critical Race Theory and its divisive, bigoted ideas have become a growing problem within Arizona governments.

Often times disguised by innocuous sounding terms like “equity”, this Marxism-based movement has crept up in cities and school districts throughout our state including the cities of Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff, among many others.

Arizonans rightfully refuse to support racism and this legislation ensures that remains the commitment of our state.”
-Representative Jake Hoffman

STATEMENT ON INVESTIGATION INTO HIGLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT FRAUD

“This is truly a sad day for the Higley Unified School District and the students and families it serves. The level of apparent corruption is staggering and heartbreaking.  I am proud to have actively fought against this abuse of power, misuse of taxpayer monies, and blatant disregard for the law during my tenure on the Higley governing board.

As a result of these findings, I will be looking at opportunities for education reform legislation to introduce next session in order to ensure that crooked administrators stop bleeding our schools of their resources and start putting students and teachers first.”

Rep. Jake Hoffman Statement on Maricopa County Supervisors' Response to State Senate Subpoenas

“The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is engaged in one of the most divisive and dangerous subversions of government that the state of Arizona has ever witnessed.

The Board’s blatant disregard for the Constitution and public mockery of the lawful oversight of elections by the Arizona legislature is not only disrespectful, it undermines the very fabric of our Republic.

Through its obstructionism, lack of transparency, and outright trampling of the Constitution, the Board of Supervisors has effectively spit in the face of every voter in Maricopa County and this state.”

@JakeHoffman
It borders on anarchy & destabilizes the very foundation of our society to have local governments refusing to comply with the law.

Any local government that flaunts state law must be held accountable.

We have called upon the Governor to immediately take the following action:

1. Withhold federal funding from all non-compliant school districts

2. Authorize temporary ESAs for all students trapped within a non-compliant school districts

3. Send a notice to all families of non-compliant school districts empowering them with the following info:

a. The retroactive June 30, 2021 effective date of the law banning mask mandates

b. The availability of the newly authorized temporary ESAs & how to use them

c. The abundance of school choice options afforded to them by state law

4. Initiate legal action against all non-compliant school districts

A resounding message must be delivered to any local government considering defying state law— lawlessness will not be tolerated.

DO NOT MISS THIS CRITICAL EVENT
Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), who refused to vote for the education budget bill unless it contained the ban on mask mandates due to his concern about the effects of masks on children, told The Arizona Sun Times, “Given President Biden’s busy schedule overseeing the many historic failures of his administration — like ushering in the total collapse of Afghanistan, eliminating America’s energy independence, crushing hardworking families with runaway price inflation, spending our grandchildren into debt, and destroying our freedoms with yet another wave of COVID and vaccine mandates — I’m surprised he had the time to comment on the unlawful actions of a rogue government bureaucrat in Arizona.”

UNIVERSAL VOTER ID NEEDED IN AZ

Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek) refuted the criticism that the initiative is supposed to benefit Republicans. During his press conference speech, he cited a recent Data Orbital poll, which found that all Arizonans overwhelmingly support voter ID requirements. A majority from every major demographic — race, ethnicity, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — support it, averaging 82 percent of likely Arizona voters. Another 63% want voter ID required for mail-in voting.

—————————

Universal voter ID is the right thing to do. It’s not the only step that needs to be taken though, which is why my fellow Republicans and I are currently working on numerous critical election integrity and election security reforms for the coming legislative session.

Election integrity has become the civil rights issue of our time.

Ensuring that every citizen can have faith and confidence knowing that their vote counts and matters is the most important issue facing legislatures all across America.

Arizona is leading the way to protect our elections.

Universal voter ID is yet another important reform that benefits every single voter.

Election Integrity is the MOST important issue facing our nation

Here were my Election Integrity bills in 2021 that were signed into law:

Banned private funding of elections (Zuckerberg money)

Banned mass mailing of ballots (like the radical leftist Maricopa County Recorder tried to do) AND added a Class 5 felony for any rogue County Recorder that violates this law

Banned modifying statutorily prescribed elections law (like radical leftist Katie Hobbs did) AND added a Class 6 felony for any rogue official that violates this law

Only state in the country to formally OPPOSE Washington DC Democrats’ attempt to take over and rig America’s elections

Established the Election Integrity Fund with an initial $12M appropriation intended to pay for election security, election cybersecurity, and the hand tabulation of votes (ie no machines)

Here were a couple other Election Integrity bills from my colleagues in 2021 that were also signed into law:

Mandate that the Secretary of State REMOVE DEAD VOTERS from the voter rolls (Rep. Kaiser’s bill)

Clean up the Early Voter List to ensure that those who refuse to vote are removed after a reasonable amount of time (Sen. Ugenti-Rita’s bill)

There were many other important Election Integrity reforms in 2021 from many of my colleagues as well. The list above is by no means exhaustive.

Arizona takes this issue seriously and will continue to fight for the security and integrity of our elections in 2022!
