A police organization has rescinded its endorsement of a Republican state senator after she accused police of politically targeting her after issuing her a speeding ticket for driving more than 70 miles per hour on a road with a 35 mile per hour speed limit.

Wadsack was pulled over on Friday, March 15, just after 10 p.m., after being observed “traveling at a high rate of speed” heading east on Speedway near North Euclid Avenue by a Tucson police officer on DUI patrol, according to a TPD report.

According to Tucson police, Wadsack was clocked going more than twice the legal limit: 71 mph in a 35 mph zone.

She told the officer she was “racing home” because the battery on her Tesla was low.
