OPINION — In her letter, Arizona deserves the full story on Abe Hamadeh, Analyn Megison demands the “complete story” about the congressman, yet her letter largely repeats Hamadeh’s own talking points while attacking the press.
Her byline omits relevant context. Megison has promoted Republican political figures, identified herself online with #AZGOP hashtag and is listed in the Republican National Lawyers Association directory. She is entitled to advocate for Hamadeh, but partisan praise should not masquerade as an objective indictment of journalism.
Helping residents navigate federal agencies is Hamadeh’s job — not extraordinary “servant leadership.” The federal funding she credits to him was approved by Congress and paid for by taxpayers. It does not exempt him from scrutiny.
