 |
 |
|
Far-right extremist,
pro-insurrectionist
MAGA Republican member of
the Arizona House of
Representatives,
representing
District 14. He
assumed office on
January 9, 2023. His
current term ends on
January 13, 2025.
Grantham ran for
re-election to the
Arizona House of
Representatives to
represent District
14. He won in the
general election on
November 8, 2022.
Grantham was also a
2012 Republican
candidate who sought
election to the U.S.
House to represent
the 9th
Congressional
District of Arizona.
In 2018 Grantham
sponsored a proposed
state constitutional
amendment which
would have allowed
the legislature to
place candidates for
the US Senate on the
ballot. In April
2021, he made news
after referring
"colored people" and
demanding that a
black legislator be
"sat down" during a
debate about a
voting rights bill. |

Gress (R)
was removed
from the

immediately
respond when
reached for

Gilbert
Lawmaker
Defends New
Lid On
Legislature’s
Emails |
|
"The
Arizona
Legislature
will exempt
itself from
state public
records law
and destroy
all email
correspondence
sent or
received by
lawmakers or
staff after
90 days
under new
rules
adopted by
majority
Republicans
over
vigorous
opposition
from
minority
Democrats.
The Senate
also
completely
exempted
text
messages on
members’
personal
phones,
which
lawmakers
frequently
use for
legislative
business,
from release
at any time.
The House
policy is
not as
expansive.
The House
package that
was adopted
despite
unified
opposition
from
minority
Democrats
also makes
major
changes to
many other
rules of the
chamber,
including
limiting
debate on
controversial
legislation
to just 30
minutes and
requiring
the
Republican
speaker to
approve
future rules
changes –
even if a
majority of
members vote
to do so. Rep. Travis
Grantham,
R-Gilbert, a
member of
the
Republican
leadership
team,
defended the
new rules
during the
vote, saying
the limits
on debate
were needed
because
Democrats
were using
lengthy
floor
debates as a
“weapon.’" |
