EXCLUSIVE — An audit of the Arizona Republican Party’s finances from 2022 reveals clues about the state party’s “disastrous” losses in every major statewide race — issues the state party says it corrected in time for the 2024 elections as Republicans won up and down the ballot.
A memorandum provided to the Washington Examiner from the Arizona GOP treasurer Elijah Norton detailed an audit of the 2022 financials of the party, which found mismanagement of resources from the party’s former chairwoman Kelli Ward that presented a “clear failure to properly deploy assets in the right areas.” Some believe the financial decisions could have been responsible for election losses that led to Democrats controlling the Arizona governor’s office and two U.S. Senate seats for the first time since 1950.
