And three months before the supervisors voted, Harrison was barred from the Arizona House of Representatives for following a group of students advocating for undocumented immigrants into a private meeting with a Democratic legislator, claiming they were “observing.”

Harrison, the leader of the right-wing extremist group AZ Patriots, was appointed to a precinct committeeman post in April.
