Many believe that Republican voters did not choose Shooter because of his alleged sexual misconduct. One of Shooter’s accusers called him a “predator and serial harasser.”
In the GOP primary race for the District 5 House seat, Mosley finished third with 22 percent of votes. Businessman Leo Biasiucci landed second with 24 percent of the votes. State Rep. Regina Cobb won the election with 38 percent of the votes.
Last month, Mosley attracted media attention following reports that he claimed legislative immunity when pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy for driving at criminal speed. He even boasted driving as fast as 130 or 140 mph sometimes so he could get home to surprise his wife. A video of his conversation with the deputy was posted on social media, which likely negatively impacted his campaign.
In fact, Mosley’s behavior prompted Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to sign an executive order clarifying the policy on legislative immunity. He directed law enforcement officers to “hold elected officials accountable when they endanger public safety with criminal violations including speeding, reckless driving and driving under the influence.” He emphasized that “no one is above the law.”
