To: LD4 Republicans
From: Chairman Lyle Tuttle in behalf of Jeanette “Jet” Dubreil
Reg: False accusations
U.S. Congressman Refutes Another Harper Lie
Legislative District 4 Republicans held a regular monthly meeting on August
16, 2010. U.S. Congressman Trent Franks was the guest speaker. The next
day, The Arizona Capitol Times reported that Sheriff Joe Arpaio withdrew his
support for State Senator Jack Harper.
Harper responded by accusing Senate candidate Scott Bundgaard and LD4 GOP
Chairman Lyle Tuttle of trying to “strong-arm” Franks into distancing
himself from Harper. Harper further stated that Bundgaard and Tuttle tried
to speak with Franks at the district meeting before and after Franks
addressed the Republicans, but that it was clear Franks wanted nothing to do
with them.
Congressman Franks publicly refuted another Harper lie. On August 19th, Franks told listeners of the Crossroads with Van radio show:
“I was told of something that occurred that I want to set the record
straight. They said Lyle Tuttle and Scott Bundgaard had approached me
recently at a Legislative District meeting and tried to dissuade me from
supporting Jack Harper and that is absolutely not true. Lyle Tuttle & Scott
Bundgaard have never spoken a negative word to me about Jack of any kind,
ever.”
Franks added, “I hold Lyle Tuttle in the highest regard as well as Scott
Bundgaard.”
Harper continues to lie to us in order to win election to the Arizona House.
Any candidate this desperate cannot be trusted. Now, Harper has dragged
Congressman Franks into his web of deceit in an attempt to deceive us
further.
Listen for yourself to Congressman Franks on Van’s show. It is about 5
minutes into an interview with U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth.
