Arizona Senator Janae Shamp (R-LD29) issued a press release Friday, October 4, 2024, condemning an “obscene nude statue” of President Donald Trump that has now appeared in Arizona after being initially displayed in Las Vegas.

“How anyone could possibly believe this political stunt is anything more than sick and deplorable is beyond me,” wrote Senator Shamp. “Many Americans have recently lost their lives or livelihoods in large areas of our country as a result of Hurricane Helene. Our federal government has run out of aid money to assist them after spending nearly $1 billion in FEMA funding to aid illegal immigration and the Biden-Harris open border crisis. Hardworking families are struggling to put food on the table because of inflation. American citizens are dying every single day from consuming deadly fentanyl that’s trafficked into our country. Need I say more? We need solutions, and we need unity in this country right now, not dangerous and deplorable political theater. This “project” is a shameful use of anyone’s resources and needs to end now.”

Shamp is an outspoken supporter of President Trump and has been a champion for Arizona farmers and ranchers (she and her husband are ranchers), particularly in allocating water rights.
