This is a problem. Tempe needs some serious work.

To be clear. County politics is included in local politics we very much care about county elections. The way Maricopa County operates is NOT the norm. Most counties don’t have 4+ million residents which is why they’re typically considered local elections.

Melendres/ Maricopa County Oversight what is really going on: Lightning Lifetime Odds: • National Weather Service: about 1 in 15,300 lifetime odds of being struck. Experiencing Bias-Based Profiling by MCSO: • Based on the Melendres v. Arpaio litigation identifying 5 victims from 4 traffic stops, compared against approximately 240,000 annual MCSO incidents, the implied rate is about 1 victim per 48,000 MCSO incidents, or roughly 0.002% per contact. Even across multiple lifetime contacts, the estimated odds remain extremely low unless a person has repeated direct enforcement contacts with MCSO. Comparison: Lightning vs. Being Racially Profiled A person is roughly 3 times more likely to be struck by lightning in their lifetime than to be one of the 5 identified Melendres victims relative to total MCSO incidents. Judicial Bias: The research is clear, bias isn’t the exception, it’s the baseline. Studies show cognitive bias is widespread across the entire justice system, so the odds a judge has some level of bias aren’t 1 in 10 or 1 in 100—they’re effectively 1 in 1. The real issue is when that bias starts influencing outcomes. Zhang, X., & Hayward, T. (2024). Cognitive bias in legal decision-making: A review of its impact on the justice system. Frontiers in Psychology, 15, Article 12024198. doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.… Comparison: Falling Victim to Bias-Based Decision-Making from a Federal Judge vs. MCSO Using the same incident-based comparison, a person is roughly 45,900 times more likely to encounter some level of human cognitive bias from a judge than to be one of the five identified Melendres victims. Even using a conservative 50% bias-impact estimate, it is still about 22,950 times more likely. Judge Snow’s Ruling (2013 Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law): • The order is ~140+ pages long • Contains hundreds of numbered factual findings • Each finding is based on: o testimony o exhibits o expert reports o credibility determinations Melendres wasn’t decided by counting violations. It was decided by interpreting patterns. And once a pattern becomes the story, human nature and the science of confirmation bias suggests that the rest of the evidence tends to follow it. When one judge turns hundreds of pieces of evidence into one story, the real question is—did the evidence drive the conclusion, or did the conclusion shape the evidence? After all, Joe Arpaio investigated Murray Snow and his wife—maybe there was a score to settle. Associated Press. (2015, April 24). Ariz. sheriff Joe Arpaio admits investigation of judge’s wife. CBS News. cbsnews.com/news/arizona-s… Disproportionate Costs: I’ve said it before: the “victims” have been paid $266,000 combined, the American Civil Liberties Union has made $14 million off the victims they represent, and Judge Snow’s monitor has been paid 100 times more than all the victims combined, at over $30 million. No wonder Judge Snow sealed his monitor’s expense records in 2015, hiding them from public view. I thought being deceptive was against the judicial canons of justice. And I thought he was the Peoples Judge and not leaning to one side, that why they were black after all and not blue or red. @GoldwaterInst @RepAndyBiggsAZ @JudiciaryGOP @JudicialWatch #corruption #grift #judge @JDVance #draintheswamp @ShawnRyan762 did you get my email??? @BroomheadShow @KTAR923 @azfamily @AbeWarRoom

Data centers are on a lot of people’s minds lately… This is a picture perfect example of why having a good council is important these decisions fall solely on 7 people

#SantanValley is really shaping up to be an interesting race. 8 people running for 7 seats… One won’t make it, the question is who is that? This being the inaugural council is important. Good principled leadership at the start of a city can really save headaches in the future

Rumor has it a Scottsdale city council member is being threatened with a recall. Recalls are timely, costly and mostly unsuccessful. The Councilmember in question is Jan Dubaskas the only candidate that was elected in the primary outright in 2024. What are your thoughts?

Jane Poston a #Chandler council member is suing the city for “failure to prevent rumors from spreading” alleging that she was being investigated by the FBI for corruption and recently it was revealed that she WAS in fact being investigated by the FBI

In #chandler we have a Councilmember that’s running for reelection that sued the city for $4 million. Think this is only about Chandler? How long until your city is next. Donate now to get principled leaders in our city councils! secure.anedot.com/local-majority…

People like this is what you have to watch out for! The point of local government is to have ACCESSIBILITY to your representatives if they aren’t willing to talk to you now they definitely won’t later help us all out and don’t vote for them! Only vote for people willing to listen
