PHOENIX — A Tucson Democratic lawmaker is asking that an ethics complaint filed against her by three Republican lawmakers be dismissed.
Attorneys for Stephanie Stahl Hamilton said her actions last month to move and hide Bibles in the House lounge was a “peaceful protest regarding the separation of church and state.” In a formal response Monday, the lawyers also said she acted “in response to the weaponizing of religion in politics.”
Motives aside, her attorneys also pointed out Stahl Hamilton made a public apology on the House floor.
