Jeff Dial

  

 
Former Republican State Senator in the Arizona State Legislature. Dial was elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2010 and was reelected in 2012. Dial was elected to the Arizona Senate representing the 18th district in 2014. In 2015, the Arizona Republic reported that Dial had made an eight-year commitment to the United States Army Reserve in 1996, but Dial said he received an honorably discharge due to his weight in 2004. In 2016, Dial's reelection was challenged by Republican candidate Frank Schmuck, police chief of Chandler, Arizona.[5Schmuck portrayed himself as a conservative running against a moderate. Schmuck also persistently questioned Dial's military record, asking whether Dial really earned the "Army veteran" status that Dial claimed in his campaign materials. On August 30, 2016, Schmuck defeated Dial in the Republican primary election, receiving 53.4% of the vote.

List Of Arizona Republicans Who Voted For Anti-Gay Discrimination Bill
Feb. 28, 2014

 
SB-1062 - SB 1062 was an Arizona bill to amend an existing law to give any individual or legal entity an exemption from any state law if it substantially burdened their exercise of religion, including Arizona law requiring public accommodation.

Source
Headlights:
  • It would allow anyone to assert a legal claim or defense of free exercise of religion in a legal proceeding, regardless of whether the government is a party to the proceeding.
  • It would allow private individuals and corporations to assert religious beliefs in a way that could lead to discrimination against gay and lesbian, and other, Arizonans. This bill could embolden people to discriminate against anyone who doesn’t share their beliefs or religious practices.
  • If SB 1062 were enacted, employers could impose their religious beliefs on employees and businesses could refuse to serve customers despite state and local laws requiring public accommodations—like restaurants and hotels—to serve all people.

SB 1178 - Vote to concur with House amendments and pass a bill that authorizes an individual to use potential infringements of religious freedom as a claim or defense in a legal proceeding.
