Turning Point & far-right racism isn't new. Remember the Young Republican group chat w/racist, antisemitic & violent rhetoric? #LD4 @MatthewGress is STILL on the AZ Young R advisory cmte, along w/Tyler Bowyer & Jake Hoffman. Matt's proud of his Turning Point endorsement too 🧵👇

Rep/Lobbyist Matt Gress working as a paid lobbyist for his shady out of state org is another example of self-dealing. Wish we knew more about his profits from his personal LLC -what clients are paying him for consulting? Anything he might have an influence on at the legislature?

[Kelli Butler @KelliButlerAZ]

Shout the TRUTH from the rooftops! #LD4

Matt Gress is a paid lobbyist for a shady, out-of-state organization. He works to denigrate teachers, destroy Arizona public schools and attack public-sector unions, including police officers and firefighters.

ICYMI: Lobbyist/Rep Matt Gress is facing calls for a formal ethics investigation. He’s paid by a nat’l org working against protections for teachers & 1st responders.

Gress is paid to lobby in other states, but then pushes his employer’s policy in AZ. #LD4 https://t.co/oHI0wRI0kH

Rep/Lobbyist Matt Gress: "my employer was not involved in #HCR2040 and my outside employment has no role in Arizona policy matters." But here's a blog post by his employer @AmericansFair celebrating after Matt used his Ed Cmte Chair position to pass his employer's policy priority

[Yellow Sheet Report @TheYellowSheet]

A group of public school advocates are calling for the state House to investigate Rep. Matt Gress for his ties to an organization that opposes teachers unions.

These 3 photos are on the homepage of Rep/Paid Lobbyist Matt Gress’ employer, @AmericansFair

First responders & supporters of @AZPoliceAssc @AZFirefighters @AZTroopers take note

Matt & his AFFT pals try to pretend they’re only targeting teachers, but they’re coming for you too

[Kelli Butler @KelliButlerAZ]

All the @AZDPSHwyPatrol Officers I know are quite apolitical. They take these endorsements seriously. It’s troubling to see their @AZTroopers Assoc endorsing Matt Gress, whose actions in AZ & with his nat’l anti-union group put their wages, benefits and safety at risk.

[Save Our Schools AZ @arizona_sos]

1/3 - SOSAZ stands ready to turn in hundreds of thousands of #ProtectEducation signatures this Thursday to honor the work of our volunteers, our broad statewide coalition of partner organizations, and most importantly, the will of Arizona voters...

[Kelli Butler @KelliButlerAZ]

Does @AZTroopers Assoc know Rep. Matt Gress is also a paid anti-union lobbyist with @AmericansFair?

Gress runs bills that mirror his nat’l employers’ priorities to dismantle all public-sector unions. DPS officers need to know Gress’ bills harm them & other 1st responders in AZ.

[AZ LD4 Democrats @AZLD4Dems]

Good morning LD4! A great day to canvas, and our interns are ready to head to the doors.

[Kelli Butler @KelliButlerAZ]

Matt Gress is trying to pretend a Legislative Council memo has binding legal authority. It does not.

Matt knows #HCR2040 puts wage, benefits & safety protections for @AZPoliceAssc @AZFirefighters @AZTroopers at risk, just like it hurts AZ teachers.

[Legislative Watch @LD4Watch]

Why can't they just leave our teachers alone? They are spending millions against our teachers instead of just investing in Public Education.

[Save Our Schools AZ @arizona_sos]

Read our statement on Republicans threatening a special session to kill the Protect Education Initiative just 6 days before signatures are due 😡

Contact Governor Hobbs and your lawmakers to tell them to respect the will of AZ voters and REJECT this shady backroom deal.

[Save Our Schools AZ @arizona_sos]

🚨🏛️NO BACKROOM DEALS!

We went to the Capitol early this morning to send a clear message: Don’t Sign Away the Protect Education Act 🛡️ These boxes represent the will of the hundreds of thousands of AZ voters.

📨Tell Gov. Hobbs & #AZLeg to stand strong! https://t.co/e8Ocaaum6F

[Capitol Watchdogs @CapitolWatchdo2]

Time to remember 2013’s omnibus voter suppression #HB2305. R’s rescinded law after successful petition drive to put it on the ballot; later passed it piece by piece. #GOP will always be anti-union and work tirelessly to destroy public schools and attack free and fair elections.

[AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes @AZAGMayes]

Millions of Independents, Republicans, and Democrats across Arizona have voted by mail for decades. Arizona will never allow the Trump administration to seize control of our elections.

[Kelli Butler @KelliButlerAZ]

Hard to keep track of all the backroom deals at #azleg. The AZ GOP started this fiasco by passing poorly written, ill-conceived referrals in the first place.

AZ GOP’s long-term plan is ALWAYS to expand ESA’s w/no accountability. Don’t fall for the AZ GOP’s latest schemes!

[Legislative Watch @LD4Watch]

WHO DOES MATT GRESS WORK FOR? The LD4 citizens, or the anti-union group that pays him to push bills like HCR2040 in other states? Asking for every cop, teacher, and firefighter.

He's the House Ed Chair behind the bill that could decimate AZ public-sector unions
