Key Points:
- Wadsack claims city of Tucson violated her civil rights during traffic stop
- She claims stop was targeted, costing her election bid
- She seeks public donations to continue court case
Former state Sen. Justine Wadsack is seeking donations she says are necessary to keep her lawsuit against the city of Tucson alive.
Wadsack confirmed to Capitol Media Services that she has set up a page at GiveSendGo, a web site that collects both money and prayers, in hopes of raising the $75,000 she says she needs to pay attorney Dennis Wilenchik.
“As you may have heard, I’m taking legal action against the City of Tucson and members of its police department for violating my civil rights and corrupting the 2024 election process,’’ she wrote on the website. “The situation is not just about a traffic stop — it’s about a leftist city government weaponizing its power against political opponents and silencing those who dare to challenge its radical agenda.’’
