    United States District Court for the District of Arizona

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA ) THE ARIZONA LIBERTARIAN ) PARTY AND MICHAEL KIELSKY, ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v. ) COMPLAINT ) MICHELE REAGAN, ) Civil Action No. ___________ ) Defendant. ) ) INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs Arizona Libertarian Party (“AZLP”) and its Chairman Michael Kielsky (together, “the Libertarians”) bring this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, to vindicate rights guaranteed to them by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Libertarians specifically challenge the constitutionality of two provisions of Arizona law, A.R.S. §§ 16-321 and 16-322, which establish the requirements that political parties must meet to place their candidates on Arizona’s primary election ballot. These provisions formerly enabled candidates to appear on the primary ballot by submitting nomination petitions with a number of signatures defined as a percentage of their party’s qualified registered voters in the relevant jurisdiction. In 2015, however, the provisions were amended, such that they now define the signature requirements as a percentage of all “qualified signers” in the relevant jurisdiction – a pool defined to include independent and unaffiliated voters. As applied to the Libertarians – though not to the major parties – this drastically increased the number of signatures required. In general, the new requirements for the Libertarians are at least 20 times greater than the old ones, depending on the office, and in many cases much greater. Sections 16-321 and 16-322, as amended, violate the Libertarians’ First Amendment rights on several grounds. First, they impose unconstitutionally severe signature requirements under the settled precedent of the Supreme Court of the United States. Second, they violate the Libertarians’ freedom of association, because they compel AZLP, as a practical matter, to rely on non-members for purposes of nominating its own partisan candidates.

    A Conversation with Sr. Elizabeth Carey

    September 2019 A Conversation with Sr. Elizabeth Carey You’ve heard of the FIVE brave nuns who came from Ireland to begin our school in 1954, but who was the SIXTH? by Debra LaPlante & Mary Jo Wahlers The following is our conversation with Sr. Elizabeth, the 6th nun to arrive, about her memories of the beginning years at SS. Simon & Jude School. How did it come about that you would be sent to Arizona? I had already made my final profession and knew the other Loreto Sisters who were here in Arizona as they were from County Westmeath, so I was sent to replace Sr. Carmel in 1955. (Sr. Maria Sheerin who is also currently living at the convent was also sent with Sr. Elizabeth to Arizona at that time, but she only stayed one year as she was called to do further studies.) Did you have any reservations about coming to Arizona? Like the original five, I thought I may not return to Ireland again, but five years later, I was lucky enough to be able to travel to see my family! As the Loreto Sisters grew in numbers throughout the United States, we often traveled to attend meetings in other cities in the U.S, or other countries, and were given the opportunity to visit our families in Ireland. Did you live in the convent here on campus? No, the convent wasn’t built yet, so we lived in a house on 27th Drive in the beginning years. We burned our garbage right at the house in those days, and never crossed the irrigation ditch.

ORDER AND MICHELE REAGAN, Secretary of AMENDED State, OPINION Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Cindy K. Jorgenson, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted January 29, 2015—University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law, Tucson, Arizona Filed April 24, 2015 Amended August 7, 2015 Before: A. Wallace Tashima, M. Margaret McKeown, and Marsha S. Berzon, Circuit Judges. Order; Opinion by Judge Tashima; Concurrence by Judge McKeown 2 ARIZONA LIBERTARIAN PARTY V. REAGAN SUMMARY* Civil Rights The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in an action brought by the Arizona Green Party, the Arizona Libertarian Party, and three of their members alleging that Arizona’s voter registration form violates their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. In 2011, the Arizona Legislature enacted a law requiring the voter registration form distributed by the Arizona Secretary of State to list the two largest parties (as measured by number of registered voters) on the form, as well as provide a blank line for “other party preferences.” See Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 16-152(A)(5). Prior to the 2011 amendment, Arizona law required only that voter registration forms include a blank space for the registrant’s party preference. The panel first determined that plaintiffs failed to adduce evidence that the revised registration form actually discourages or prevents voters from registering with minor parties.

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ALASKA JED WHITTAKER, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 3:16-cv-00220-SLG BYRON MALLOTT, in his official capacity as Lieutenant Governor of the State of Alaska, Defendant. ORDER RE MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Before the Court at Docket 8 is Plaintiff Jed Whittaker’s Motion for Summary Judgment and at Docket 15 is Defendant Byron Mallott’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant did not respond to Plaintiff’s motion, which was filed before Defendant was served with the Complaint. Plaintiff opposed Defendant’s motion at Docket 19. No reply was filed.1 Also before the Court, at Docket 17, is Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant opposed this motion to strike at Docket 19. Oral argument was not requested and was not necessary to the Court’s decision. BACKGROUND This case concerns the constitutionality of Alaska’s ballot access requirements as codified at Alaska Statute (AS) 15.25.160. Plaintiff Jed Whittaker was a candidate for United States Senator for Alaska in 2016; he was not affiliated with a “political party” as that term is defined by Alaska law.2 To have his name printed on the official ballot, Mr. 1 Plaintiff filed a notice of supplemental authority at Docket 25 and Docket 26. 2 See AS 15.80.010(27) (defining a “political party” as one whose candidate obtained three percent of the vote in the immediately preceding general election for governor, U.S. Senator, or Case 3:16-cv-00220-SLG Document 27 Filed 04/27/17 Page 1 of 23 Whittaker was required to submit a petition “signed by qualified voters of the state equal in number to at least one percent of the number of voters who cast ballots in the preceding general election.”3 For the 2016 election, a petition was valid if it contained at least 2,854 signatures.4 Mr.

  • Municipal 2012

    Municipal 2012

    2012 Municipal policy Statement Core Principles • PROTECTION OF SHARED REVENUES. Arizona’s municipalities rely on the existing state-collected shared revenue system to provide quality services to their residents. The League will resist any attacks on this critical source of funding for localities, which are responsibly managing lean budgets during difficult economic times. The League opposes unfunded legislative mandates, as well as the imposition of fees and assessments on municipalities as a means of shifting the costs of State operations onto cities and towns. In particular, the League opposes any further diversions of Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies away from municipalities and calls upon the Legislature to restore diverted HURF funding to critical road and street projects. • PRESERVATION OF LOCAL CONTROL. The League calls upon the Arizona Legislature to respect the authority of cities and towns to govern their communities free from legislative interference and the imposi- tion of regulatory burdens. The League shares the sentiments of Governor Brewer, who, in vetoing anti-city legislation last session, wrote: “I am becoming increasingly concerned that many bills introduced this session micromanage decisions best made at the local level. What happened to the conservative belief that the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people?” Fiscal Stewardship The League is prepared to support reasonable reforms to the state revenue system that adhere to the principles of simplicity, fairness and balance and that do not infringe upon the ability of cities and towns to implement tax systems that reflect local priorities and economies. • The League proposes to work with the Legislature to ensure that both the State and municipalities are equipped with the economic development tools they need to help them remain competitive nationally and internationally.
