PHOENIX, ARIZONA – A Coconino County Judge granted Senator Wendy Rogers an Injunction Against Harassment, which was served this morning to a reporter who has been documented as repeatedly committing harassing, annoying and alarming attempts to contact the Senator.
“Earlier in this legislative session, after the reporter repeatedly invaded my personal space at my desk in the Senate Chamber, I requested that the Senate Sergeant at Arms and staff convey to the reporter that I did not want her to approach me,” said Senator Rogers. “I didn’t have any further issues with this reporter until this week, when she showed up at two of my Valley homes, multiple times. The latest attempted contact at one of my residences happened Wednesday night. I don’t know this reporter personally, I don’t know what she is capable of, and I don’t believe anyone in their right mind would show up uninvited to my home at night. Therefore, I don’t trust that this person wouldn’t lash out and try to physically harm me in some fashion.”
“Our members know that the media will frequently engage with us in order to document the happenings at the Legislature, but everyone deserves privacy in their personal residences without worrying about reporters repeatedly showing up unannounced,” said Senate President Warren Petersen. “A judge, who is a disinterested, non-biased, third-party, heard Senator Rogers’ complaint and agreed with her position.
Senator Rogers added, “After seeking guidance from my legal counsel, family, and neighbors who are also quite bothered by the attempted contacts, we decided the Injunction Against Harassment would be the best approach My neighbors should not have had to put up with this harassment either. When I signed up to be a public servant, I understood what the job entailed, including unwarranted harassment. I’m thankful to the judge who recognized the need to issue the restraining order, and I’m hopeful this reporter will heed the warning and stop showing up at my homes or face the full force and effect of law.”

(Media Right News) Wendy Rogers: Restraining Order has Been Issued for Reporter ‘Stalking me and My Neighbors’
“‘Rock star’ State Senator Wendy Rogers (R-AZ) has been an ardent helper and supporter of Donald Trump’s and an election integrity stalwart. Rogers has been known for introducing high quality legislation in her state and being a great listener of her constituents. For these reasons and more, mainstream news organizations have constantly hounded and tried to cancel Rogers. So far, it hasn’t worked, but with outlets like Buzzfeed reportedly being on the rocks, are so called “journalists” getting desperate for scoops to bolster job security and clicks?”
