Lawsuit alleges former Yuma senator doesn’t live in district where he filed to run
By Rachel Leingang | The Republic
A Republican running against ousted former state lawmaker Don Shooter filed a lawsuit Friday alleging that Shooter does not live in the district where he recently filed to run for office.
Brent Backus, a businessman who’s running for Arizona Senate in Legislative District 13, alleges Shooter, also a Republican, doesn’t live at the Yuma address he claims.
Backus cites a recent voter registration change made by Shooter and a house in Phoenix as evidence. Shooter responded with a taunt, questioning what his opponent was afraid of.
