Joyce,
The Glendale City Clerk’s Office is in receipt of your Election Violation Complaint (No.
EC19-01), regarding Arizonans 4 Fair Government and its failure to file as a political action
committee with the Clerk’s Office.
After a search of the filing records, I have confirmed that Arizonans 4 Fair Government has
not filed a statement of organization or any campaign finance reports with the City Clerk’s
Office. I have also searched the Arizona Secretary of State’s website and am unable to
find any filing as a standing committee with the Secretary of State’s Office.
Therefore, there is probable cause to believe a violation of the filing requirements of Title
16, Chapter 6 of the Arizona Revised Statutes has occurred. Pursuant to ARS 16-938, I
have notified Glendale City Attorney Michael Bailey, the appropriate enforcement officer, of
the alleged violation.
Thank you,
Julie

Michael,
The Clerk’s Office received the attached election complaint, EC19-01, alleging the
committee identified on the two attached fliers, Arizonans 4 Fair Government, did not file a
statement of organization or a campaign finance report (due 10/28/2019) with the City
Clerk’s Office.
The committee identified on the fliers, Arizonans 4 Fair Government, has not filed any
campaign finance documents with my office. There is no record on the Arizona Secretary
of State’s (SOS) website indicating that the committee has registered as an SOS standing
committee. Therefore, I find probable cause that the committee has violated the
requirements of Title 16, Chapter 6 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS). Pursuant to
ARS 16-937, I am notifying you, as the appropriate enforcement officer, of the alleged
violation.
Thank you,
Julie
