BRADLEY BEAUCHAMP CHARGED
In the Superior Court of Arizona in and for Gila County,
Case #CV2009-0340
Globe, AZ
July 25, 2010
Bradley D. Beauchamp (R-AZ), congressional candidate for the U.S. House in Arizona’s CD1, has been named in a class action lawsuit filed by ex-staff members and administrators of the Globe Unified School District against Dr. Timothy Trent, the ex-GUSD Superintendent currently under investigation by the Arizona State Attorney General’s Office.
The suit, filed in Gila County Superior Court on June 21, 2010 (CV2009-0340), charges Trent with intimidation and coercion against current and ex staff members at Globe High School. Beauchamp, a Globe attorney and former GUSD school board member, has been cited as conspiring with Trent to intimidate and cause the termination of staff members at GHS. In one case, Patrick A. Ward, a former teacher at GHS and defensive coordinator of the GHS football team, had 3 potential employment contracts either cancelled or rescinded after Beauchamp or Trent directly contacted the Superintendents of the schools in New Mexico which had offered Ward employment contracts.
Beauchamp, a former teacher of American Government at GHS, GUSD school board member and self-proclaimed constitutional expert, has been named in a Declaration filed by Patrick A. Ward accompanying the lawsuit. In this Court filing, Beauchamp is cited as directly causing Ward’s employment contract in Gallup, New Mexico to be terminated. Trent, GUSD Superintendent at the time, had previously caused two additional contracts offered to Ward to either be cancelled or rescinded. Also in the Declaration filed by Ward, Beauchamp, while an assistant football coach at GHS, verbally abused and threatened Ward and Ward’s children during a football game in Utah.
I swear that people do not read, do not vet the crap they find on internet blogs and act like it has substance. Read the damned case before picking up someone slanted internet turd and smearing it everywhere. If you read the actual complaint the ONLY defendents are Trents and his wife. That’s it folks.
Now my questions is which of the other 7 candidates staff, blog hit men, etc. came up with this smear job?

You should be accurate with what you place on your site and not take the hatchet job of other candidates. Mr. Beauchamp was not named as a defendant in this suit nor is he part of the basis for this suit. The author of the email has committed defamation in the process of trying to assassinate Mr. Beauchamp’s reputation.
Mr. Beauchamp will not stand by and allow unnamed candidates to spread lies, rumors, and innuendoes about him. Haven’t we had enough of politics as usual? This type of attack is expected from the Democrats, but to have our Republican colleagues engage in this kind of distortion of facts, including mass-distribution of misguided allegations is why we continue to lose elections.
The American people deserve better than this sort of rubbish. All the citizens of CD-1 deserve better from the candidates in this race than this anonymous mud-slinging, which is nothing more than a coward’s game and fodder for the opposition.
What’s the party affiliation of the plaintiff? Then ya know.
Reading from Stephen Kohut’s link provided (many thanks) above, Erik’s assertation also above is easily verified that:
“Mr. Beauchamp was not named as a defendant in this suit nor is he part of the basis for this suit.”
Anyone know who wrote the article, and where it has appeared?
Why would you even post this nonsense? What a hit piece. Innuendo and smear tactics by a disgruntled former employee…
This is America. Anybody can sue anybody for anything. Just because someone filed suit doesn’t mean the allegations are true (or false for that matter).
Here is the link to the internet crap that started this whole mess.

Who is Veritas Vincit and who does he work for? This is vile and should not be tolerated. That you even publish this is a direct reflection of SA and its crediability.
There are a number of posters who have posting rights and direct post. I do not know this for a fact, but I guess DSW has not even seen this yet.
I am very curious as to who put it out in the first place … schools and Democrats go together. But that’s no more fair a supposition than assuming rival Republicans had anything to do with this.
I smell a defamation suit brewing.
Never do stupid stuff to a lawyer. It tends to blow up in your face.
IT IS SAD THAT BEAUCHAMP SUPPORTERS ARE TRYING TO COVER THIS UP. BEAUCHAMP IS NAMED IN THE DECLARATION OF PATRICK A. WARD ACCOMPANYING THE LAWSUIT AS EXHIBIT 5. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD READ THE LAWSUIT, EXAMINE THE FACTS AND NOT COMMENT THROUGH IGNORANCE. BEAUCHAMP IS A TRENT THUG. HOW COULD HE BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE MADE PUBLIC.
Veritas Vincit:
Thank you for blogging this information. No Beauchamp is NOT a Defendant in the case, but was named as an accessory to Tim Trent in having Patrick Ward’s contracts in NM rescinded/cancelled. See Ward’s Declaration accompanying the lawsuit. In fact, according to the Plaintiff’s attorney, Kevin Koelbel, it is likely that Beauchamp WILL be included, in an amended Complaint by Ward, for tortious interference. The entire sordid lawsuit namimg Beauchamp can be found at http://www.informedazvoters.org
Wow, look at informedazvoters.org. It has a smear of Beauchamp, 3 lines of Tom Zaleski Worship, and a ho-hum acknowledgment of Paul Gosar’s existence. Wonder who set THAT site up…..
