| LD3 Censures Merissa Hamilton – Demands She Resign As AZGOP MAL |
|
 |
| |
| "On Tuesday May 14, 2024, the body of Legislative District 3 censured AZGOP CD1 Member at Large Merissa Hamilton and demanded she resign that position immediately. The censure referenced the below evidence that Hamilton committed a felony bribe, acting as the broker in an illegal document titled the “LD3 Peace Accord” proposing the creation of two separate legislative districts in violation of A.R.S. §16-823. Legislative district committee; organization. Hamilton and former AZGOP Chair Jeff Dewit (who has since resigned) both attempted to push for and offered a felony bribe, violating A.R.S. Title 13. Criminal Code § 13-2602. Bribery of a public servant or party officer. Hamilton admitted to that crime in the below audio recording. The below censure demands that Merissa Hamilton resign from her position as AZGOP MAL immediately." |

"Some
Republican
candidates
running for
Congress in
Arizona's
8th district
continue to
argue that
the 2020 and
2022
elections in
Arizona were
stolen from
their party
and made
those
complaints a
central
theme of a
Wednesday
forum." [ .

8th

forum was
hosted by
conservative
activist Merissa
Hamilton,
who lost a
bid for
Phoenix
mayor in
2020 and now
runs a
political
group called
EZAZ.org.
Jenna Rayne,
an Arizona
State

student and
chair of the

moderated
the forum
with

who lost a

challenging
that
outcome, Masters,
and state
Sen. Anthony
Kern participated. Jacob
Chansley,
often known
as the QAnon
Shaman for
his protest
persona,
attended the
event but
was not
allowed to
speak
because he
plans to run
as a
Libertarian
and the
event was
for
Republican
candidates
only,
according to
the hosts." |

"Maricopa

Justin Heap
has been
caught in so
many lies I
can barely
keep count.
Not to be
outdone, his

Campaign
Manager
Merissa

caught in
another lie
over why
Heap skipped

on that in a

Merissa
Hamilton as

one
intimately
involved
with a

such as a
paid
employee or

would be
able to,

warning to

Merissa
Hamilton,
Arizona
Daily
Independent
Defame Shane
Wikfors |
|
"In October,
2021, the
Arizona
Daily
Independent,
owned by
John and
Loretta
Hunnicutt,
posted a
false and
defamatory
story about
Shane
Wikfors at
the request
of a
election
denier,
conspiracy
theorist
named
Merissa
Hamilton.
Hamilton
runs a
Arizona-based
political
organization
called
Strong
Communities
Action that
is
registered
with the
Arizona
Corporation
Commission
but is not
registered
as an
IRS-approved
non-profit
organization.
Since its
creation,
Hamilton’s
organization
has sought
out
political
opportunities
to inject
itself in
the body
politic as
causes
arise.
The 2020
Election as
well as
local school
district
governing
board
controversies
are examples
of issues
that
Hamilton has
used in an
effort to
elbow
herself and
her
organization
to the
forefront as
a player in
Arizona
politics.
Prior to
Strong
Communities
Action,
Hamilton
worked for
Phoenix
Councilman,
Sal DiCiccio
doing
generic
constituent
work. She
left that
office for
reasons
unknown but
decided to
run for
Mayor of the
City of
Phoenix. She
was
unsuccessful
in her bid
for Mayor." |

HRC On Hamilton’s Anti-LGBTQ Rhetoric |
|
Oct. 2, 2020 |
| |
| "In response to Phoenix Mayoral Candidate Merissa Hamilton in a private Facebook group spewing hateful anti-LGBTQ rhetoric as revealed by the Arizona Republic, HRC Arizona State Director Bridget Sharpe issued the following statement: |
| |
| “Merissa Hamilton’s disgraceful participation in this private, hateful anti-LGBTQ Facebook group is disqualifying. She and other anti-equality Arizona candidates are parroting the far-right conspiracy theories concocted by QAnon, a group the FBI has labelled ‘conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists’ and a 'domestic terror threat.' |
| |
| “What’s worse, Hamilton’s involvement in the private group shows that she knows what she believes is too hateful and wrong to say publicly, and yet she continues to peddle these homophobic and transphobic ideas in secret. This development makes it all the more important that we re-elect Mayor Kate Gallego so she can continue to fight for equality.”" |
