"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.""

Adding "sexual orientation,"
"gender identity," or "gender
expression" to the protected
classes of race, religion, age,
sex, and ancestry in

"The Republican-controlled
House on Monday approved Senate Bill 1316, allowing
the payday loan industry to come into Arizona and
offer “flex loans” with interest rates of up to 204
percent. [...] Rep. Jay Lawrence, meanwhile, took up
the investors’ talking points, explaining that it’s
all about giving options to desperate people who
have none. The Scottsdale Republican pooh-poohed
worries that a desperate person who takes out a
$2,500 flex loan might be all the more desperate two
years later, when he owes $10,000 on that loan.
[...] Lawrence is among 12 House members who took
money late last year from the Financial Freedom PAC,
the pay loan industry that is pushing this bill."
