But what about the other grassroots Republican candidates Governor Ducey did not lift a finger for, not even a phone call of encouragement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to some detective work by Tracy Beanz of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncoverdc.com\/\">UncoverDC<\/a> earlier this week, we were made aware of how deep the Uniparty ties are in Arizona.  In fact, the Uniparty may as well be called the Democrat Party.  In the tweet below, Beanz refers to big donor Francis Najafi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/beanz.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/beanz.jpg 743w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/beanz-268x300.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What Beanz may not realize is who some of the players are in her screenshot.

But did they run to represent the Constitution?  In this same screenshot of donations, Mr. Najafi recorded $20,000 donated to &#8220;pro-Democracy Republicans&#8221;.   But how can that be since the United States is a republic?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would an individual donate to ActBlue, which funnels money to radical pro-abortion, pro-child mutilation, open borders, Covidian candidates and also donate to Republicans?  The Republican Party is no longer the Grand Old Party we could depend on for family values and upholding American traditions.  The Republican Party is simply a club now, a club of compromises and deals with the devil.  Are there no longer clear lines between ActBlue Democrats and the three Republican candidates who received Mr. Najafi&#8217;s donations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Francis Najafi isn&#8217;t one of the old guard Democrats like JFK.  He is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/features\/az-giving\/11300-francis-and-dionne-najafi-donate-25-million-to-asus-thunderbird-school-of-global-management.html\">globalist<\/a> who has a platform of sustainability, which is a fancy word for population control.

In 2019, 2018, and 2017 (the most recent years we reviewed), TGen was given $500 each year.

Had they won, would they have kept the Republican platform in mind or the agendas of their big donors, like liberal globalist Najafi?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Gress did win his race for Arizona Legislature, however.  Mr. Gress&#8217;s donations were quite hefty, especially for a rookie.  The Arizona Secretary of State&#8217;s office posted over $500,000 in donations for the newcomer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-totals-1024x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-totals-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-totals-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-totals-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-totals.jpg 1502w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the pages and pages of donations, many of them in the thousands of dollars, we are in for status quo in the Arizona Legislature for the next two years.  In other words, the best guess is Mr. Gress will be another Republican we cannot depend on to uphold the constitution.  How can he since he accepted $3500 from a liberal globalist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait, there is more!  We know firsthand that other true constitutional candidates didn&#8217;t receive a dime from outgoing Senate President Karen Fann.  But Matt Gress did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-fann-1024x239.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-fann-1024x239.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-fann-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-fann-768x179.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-fann.jpg 1442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember on November 16, 2022 there was public comment at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors meeting?  Most of the comments revolved around the less than stellar performances of those who ran Maricopa&#8217;s elections.  The final individual who spoke berated those who gave negative public comment during public comment.  That was none other than Andy Kunasek, former member of the corrupt Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and brother of Karrin Taylor Robson.  He also likes Matt Gress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-kunasek-1024x369.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6668\" width=\"840\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-kunasek-1024x369.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-kunasek-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-kunasek-768x277.jpg 768w, https:\/\/notinourschools.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/gress-kunasek.jpg 1501w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Andy Kunasek spoke at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maricopacounty?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@maricopacounty<\/a> BOS today and was a bit sarcastic to those with election concerns.

Here are a couple donations from the Cindy McCain faction.  Remember when her husband called those who believe in the constitution Whackobirds?  Maybe Mr. Gress doesn&#8217;t like to be called names, or he doesn&#8217;t believe in limited government.
