Disgraced Ex-Chairman
Demand honest, transparent, conservative leadership
Conservatives want low taxes, religious freedom, a strong second amendment, teaching traditional education in our schools, free and fair elections, and a strong but thoughtful military. However, Country Club Republicans and RINOS do not want the same things. They might tell you they do, but they align much more with Democrats than they do with conservatives or traditional republicans.
Unfortunately, the disgraced former Chairman of LD3 is anything but conservative, transparent, or honest. Rich Rutkowski has been completely dishonest in his words and actions.
Few know, but after Rich was run out of leadership of LD3 for his shameless actions, he made the decision to install Candace Czarny to continue his grip and destructive policies within LD3. Rich began “introducing” Candace behind the scenes to sympathetic Precinct Captains to create support prior to Candace’s run for office. At a meeting in 2022 in Fountain Hills, which was called under the guise of supporting the conservative candidates for school board, Rich turned the meeting into an introduction of Candace. It was a closed meeting for Fountain Hills PCs, so why was Candace at the meeting?
Birds of a feather flock together
Rich, Nancy Ordowski, Candace Czarny, and other faux conservatives use many of the same tactics, so while leadership may change, the tactics and results stay the same. Here is a list of just some of Rich’s egregious acts. If you are not aware of these items or feel they are not accurate it only takes a minute to directly ask the offenders or do a little research to find these items are true.
Rich Rutkowski:
After the fraudulent LD3 election in December, Rich left the meeting with the proxies and held them for days although he was no longer an officer and had no right to the proxies. Why did he take them? Why did he hold onto them? Rich and Candace can deny the proxy fraud, but it has been proven and there are eyewitnesses. And Rich cannot deny he took the proxies after the election, and he cannot explain why he did so with any semblance of honesty or reality.
While Chairman of LD3, Rich worked behind the scenes with a PC to remove their Precinct Captain completely circumventing the bylaws process for removing a captain. Rich directly coached the PC on how to replace the captain because he did not like the captain and wanted a captain more supportive of his personal agenda. His deceptive actions worked, and the Captain was removed, and his choice installed, all while knowingly violating the bylaws.
Rich did not support Kari Lake and worked aggressively behind the scenes to try and elect RINO Karrin Taylor Robson who was recently censured by the Republican Party for openly supporting Democrat candidates. After Robson lost the primary, Rich continued to only softly support Lake in public while continuing to work aggressively behind the scenes against her. Even after the election, Rich continued to ensure Kari Lake would not get elected. As Chairman of the biggest district in the state at the time, he was asked repeatedly to send out emails asking PCs to help count ballots, watch the signature verifiers, and perform other election integrity items. Rich dodged and dipped making up excuses to not send out emails even when republican officials were begging for assistance. It is simple to go back in time and see if Rich ever sent emails ringing the alarm that more assistance was needed after the election to “stop the steal,” you will not find such emails. Rich even went so far, during one of his many critiques of Kari Lake complaining when he first saw her at an event where she was about to speak, that she did not get up and shake his hand. Clearly the emperor was terribly upset and wanted her to kiss the ring.
While Chairman, Rich was caught sending emails bashing current PCs because they were not allowing him to subvert bylaws and Robert’s Rules. When caught sending emails in an attempt to rally support, Rich changed his strategy to in-person meetings and phone call and was again caught in disgrace. Eventually Rich issued a non-apology at an LD3 meeting. It obviously did not satisfy the bulk of PCs and he would have to step down.
Rich worked on the bylaws for the state and once the bylaws were adopted, LD3 held a meeting to vote on the district’s bylaws. Rich conveniently did not use the same bylaws he had just completed for the state party, and during the meeting attempted to jam though different bylaws by voice vote in place of the bylaws he worked on for months for the state. Why would he do so? What was the difference between the bylaws of the state and the bylaws Rich attempted to jam through? …They gave the Chairman much more control and power. Rich was caught, and the bylaws were rewritten and eventually passed.
There are many more examples of lies, corruption, coercion, and deceptive tactics but they are too many to list. It is time to start asking questions and demanding answers. Keep your eyes open, seek out information, and you will see the truth. You are not being represented in an honest, transparent manner and the same conservative values you carry are not the same ones being pushed in the shadows by your “leaders.”
