MCRC WINS COURT CASE OVER RIGHTFUL CHAIRMANSHIP OF LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 3 REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

Today, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Frank Moskowitz issued a ruling in Case CV 2024-021952 which called into question the rightful Chairmanship of Arizona Legislative District 3. In his decision, Judge Moskowitz found in favor of former Chairman Bob Gomez, naming interim Chair Michelle Rugloski as the officially recognized leader of LD3. In his ruling, Judge Moskovitz stated:

“On this record, the MCRC did not violate its bylaws by resolving the timely written

challenge to the election of officers and state committeemen at the December meeting. The MCRC had the authority to address and resolve the timely written challenge, and that resolution led to Bob Gomez becoming the duly elected LD3 Chair. However, for the reasons testified to at trial ,Michelle Rugloski is now the acting LD3 Chair in his place.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Michelle Rugloski is the LD3 Chair. The Court is certain that this ruling will come as a disappointing resolution for some, but a much-needed resolution for all to a political storm that hit the Republican Party in LD3 after the 2022 organizational meeting.”

The OFFICIAL LD3 Organizational Meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2024, at the facility located at 6140 E Thunderbird Rd Scottsdale, 85254. Credentialing starts at 6PM and meeting at 7PM as per the previously released call letter.
