Statement from Supervisor Clint Hickman on Representative Austin Smith
"I’m not one to hold back or mince words so I will say what is as clear as day: House Representative Austin Smith should resign immediately. This is a man who has lied to the people of Legislative District 29 and the entire state about our election operations for at least three years. And now he is accused of lying about the signatures he personally collected to get on the ballot again.
An investigation will reveal the truth, but this episode tells us something about those who have spread falsehoods with such ease since the 2020 Election. They can’t comprehend that most Americans and Arizonans are honest people. They accuse others of dishonesty so easily because they have no qualms about lying to win a political race or a business deal. Well, I will always tell people the truth… and Austin Smith should leave public service now."
