Two lawsuits filed by state legislative candidate Joseph Chaplik against political rivals have exposed infighting in the local Republican party in the months leading up to the General Election.
Chaplik is running for one of two seats representing Legislative District 23 after he defeated incumbent Rep. Jay Lawrence in the primary.
Chaplik will face incumbent Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, and challenger Eric Kurland, a Democrat on the Nov. 3 ballot.
LD23 covers most of Scottsdale along with Fountain Hills and Rio Verde.
