September 12th Luncheon - 2022 Arizona Ballot Initiatives
Guest Speaker: Brad Newman, President of the Desert Mountain Breakfast Club, Scottsdale, AZ
The Arizona Constitution provides for ballot initiatives that can be placed on the General Election Ballot by the AZ Legislature or by the people. In 2022, there will be up to 11 ballot initiatives for voters to decide.
While voter ballot decisions are a valuable provision in our state constitution, they are being weaponized by well-funded, far-left organizations. In particular, the proposed AZ Fair Elections Act is one such initiative. The name sounds nice, but it is anything but that. This ballot initiative is Nancy Pelosi’s HR1 tailored for Arizona and will gut most election laws in our state. It must be defeated.
Brad Newman will cover this and other ballot initiatives expected on the November Ballot. Some are positive while others are not. It will be important for all of us to mobilize electorate through our networks to win this battle.
Brad has been a strong conservative resident of Arizona since early 2020. He retired to Scottsdale after a 30-year corporate career leading commercial programs to develop and launch various medical device, hospital, and pharmaceutical products. Having lived in Chicago for one-half of his career, he has seen how liberal policies have insidiously destroyed Illinois – once the economic gem of the Midwest. As president of Desert Mountain Breakfast Club, he works closely with Bob Hathorne leading the club to identify, develop, and elect conservative candidates to keep Arizona RED - preventing a disastrous liberal-driven decline like that in Illinois.
Brad grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana. He has an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and a Masters of Business Administration from Butler University.
Brad and his wife, Sonia, enjoy golf and tennis in the great Arizona weather. Their Teacup Chihuahua, Luna, enjoys attending and watching their many leisure activities.
