"Since
mid-March,
when the
legislative
session was
suspended Mr.
Lawrence,
you have
happily
taken over
$1,500 in
taxpayer
dollars
above your
salary. You
have had
zero reason
to be
accepting a
per diem, a
daily
payment for
expenses in
addition to
your salary,
while you
have been
homebound
this whole
time and you
haven’t been
commuting or
incurring
expenses.
Sadly this
is
unsurprising
as you have
a habit of
using our
scarce tax
dollars and
even your
campaign
funds for
your own
personal
gain."
"According
to an
Arizona
Capitol
Times Yellow
Sheet
Report,
Arizona
House Rep. Jay
Lawrence (Dist.
23) may have
violated
campaign
finance laws
by failing
to report
multiple
years of
payments to
his wife
from his own
campaign
fund."
"“I don’t
want
refugees
settled
here,” Lawrence said
at a forum
hosted by
the Fountain
Hills AZ Tea
Party. “They
will take
from us,
they will
make for
lower wages
for us, they
will make
for more
expense in
our schools,
more expense
in our
emergency
rooms. “I
will do all
I can, as a
legislator,
to not
accept a
refugee
population
in the state
of
Arizona,”"
"Lawrence told
a March for
Our Lives
forum on gun
safety in
late August
that "black
and brown
communities
... are
better armed
than the
police
officers who
are supposed
to be
controlling
them. They
have
firearms
galore.""
"Rep. Jay Lawrence, of Scottsdale, has some far fetched things to say about Black and Brown communities. According to him these communities are better armed than the Police officers that are supposed to be "Controlling" them (like they are animals). "Black communities have gangs" These are just some of the things that he had to say after the "March for Our Lives Event To End Gun Violence".
"Republican
Rep. Jay
Lawrence backed
a social
media post
Wednesday
that
compares
homosexuality
to
pedophilia
and incest,
and accused
two of the
state's top
elected
officials of
promoting
statutory
rape.

"According
to state
Representative Jay
Lawrence of
Scottsdale,
President Donald
Trump is
100 percent
right to
describe
countries
like El
Salvador and
Haiti as
"shitholes."
Just don't
call
Lawrence
racist for
agreeing
with the
president,
who Lawrence
says is "an
absolute
non-racist.""
