Violations of LawsThe Ethics Committee is empowered 10 investigate claims of disorderly conduct, Ariz. Const.art. 4, pat. 1, 11, violat ions of state or federal laws, such as the provisions proscribingdomestic violence, conduct violaUng the public trust or adversely reflecting upon the House, andunethical or unprofessional conduct, such as def ined in AR.S, 32-1901.01.

Supporting DocumentsAttached to this Complaint is a copy of an article from the Tucson Citizen, which includes a 'photograph of the order of protect ion signed by Mr. Patterson's gir lf riend, an article from theTucson Weekly, a s well as copies of orders of protection issued against Mr. Patterson on behalfof his ex-wife.Based on the foregoing, I request that the Ethics Committee immediately convene andinvestlqats the alleged unethical conduct of Mr. Patterson.

March 28,2012Honorable Rep. Ted Vogt, Chairman, House Ethics CommitteeMr. Chairman &Committee Members - Under Committee Rule 13, the Hobbs complaint is notvalid.Rule 13 states: Th e suorn I 'f Jmp l a in / J - h al l contain: M (J J/( l t~menf o J ] a c t within tb persona! know lQdg c o f/ hecompla inan l dm' l i b ing th e a l l eged 1If1#hil'fl lcandl l dHobbs has no direct 'personallmowledgc' of alleged incidents cited in the statement of facts of hercomplaint.Personal knowledge must be something sh e would have seen or heard directly. IL's not hearsay,l-UmO!S at claims she read on blogs. Hobbs was not ptesent inTucson, nor were any of the co-signers on her complaint. Neither she nor any co-signers made any effort to substantiate the claimsbefore rushing to file the complaint. Her complaint is clearly not based on real 'personal knowledge'.Without these elements the complaint does not meet the requirements of Rule 13_The Hobbscomplaint sbould be dismissed and any rehlted investigation ended now.Rule 13 also states: Th e JlIIOr/1 compla i l ' l t .JhaJlcontain: (b ) the 14J Vor H om e R ule tha t i s a l le g ed to h av e h emv i ( ) k t t e dHobbs' complaint fails to cite any specific rule or section of law that I allegedly violated, Thecomplaint cites A.R.S, 32-1901.01 for definition of unethical and unprofesaional conduct, but thislaw appears to apply only to pcrrrdttees and licensees of the state, not lawfully elected and dulyseated legisla[Or~. The complaint cites Ali;>;. Canst. art, 4, pat. 1, 11 but this seems to be aboutpublication of measures, having nothing to do with ethics investigations.There is also a conflict between Rule 12 and 13. Committee Rule 12 states the ' R . J J I C J { If /h e Ho u se ojR e pm e nt at iv er ... shal lpt'twi l 'The investigation must start and end with House Rule 34, the Code of Ethics. House Rule 34 is theonly legitimate issue you may look at as part of this process. I have not violated House Rule 34 andno one has ever alleged that I have.Moreover, the allegations against me have no validity.I will prevail and my good name w i l l be fully cleared through my due process .eights illa court of law.My next court date is Apri12Q as a part of my constitutionally protected due process dghts, whichthis committee must respect.

On March 12 a court in Tucson dismissed my accuser's recent protective order against me, one ofthe two issues raised in the complaint statement of facts. .On March 25 m y accuseJ: publicly recanted her allegations, stating:I h ad a b re ak doW II~ ce ntfy .

H e sb astd b ~fo un d i nno an t.Geory ,me EJ 'mba r faccbook.com/georgette.escobarMy ex-wife's 2010 order, the only other specific item in the complaint, was quashed by a. court soonafter my due process hearing. We had a difficult divorce, but I did not abuse her. 1was neverarrested or charged with flny crime related to her false allegations. Voters knewabout her claims, butre-elected me that year as the top House vote winner in Iny district, The November 2010 decision ofmy voting constituents to re-elect and trust me to represent them in the House must be respected bythis Committee.My defense has been further hamstrung since I have not had the opportunity to view theinvestigat ive report. The investigators have been unwilling to clearly answer my questions, todescribe the scope and timeframe of their investigation 0.1: report. They appear to be on a 'fishingexpedition,' which could likely violate my constitutional rights to privacy, due process and otherrights.An)' report submitted to the Committee should be considered a confidential draft until you've hadproper time to review and I've had fair time to comment on it, at least 30 days. If you decide toproceed, I request an Executive Session of the Committee be called 30 days after any report may besubmitted so r may join you in candidly discussing whatever m ay be cla imed in an y report, as well aspossible remedies.Under Committee Rule 14, I request 30 days for m y opportunity to respond to any investigationreport related to the complaint, not before April 30. If you then decide you way want to proceedwith hearings or further investigation, which seems very unnecessary, then I'll need 45 days foradditional response. My workload, constituent demands during session, my family responsibili tiesand other lob prevent me from responding any earlier. Ibelieve this is 11 reasonable and fairtimcframc for all if you feel you mustpress on.At this time I'm not sure what the Committee may be considering. I've made some mistakes thatI've learned from, as we all have. Iam working on improving myself always, but I'm not an abusetand Ihave not committed :m y unethical acts. Nothing I've done warrants removal (rom the House. Iam focused on serving my constituents. Iwill not resign,VeryReSpectfully.p-A 1 \ . f~Representative Daniel R.

The Rep. Daniel Patterson sideshow reconvenes at the Capitol this week, as Patterson,a TUcson Democrat, put out word Monday that he's been cleared of accusations that heassaulted his former girlfriend.Georgette Escobar recanted in a Facebook post on Sunday>- just one day before shewas due in court to be arraigned on drug charges stemming from an arrest she hasclaimed was orchestrated by Patterson."I always said truth would prevail," Patterson wrote on Facebook, in response toEscobar's retraction. "This personal matter is tough on us & our families. Time to heal."Time, actually, to get to the bottom of what the heck is going on here.The House Ethics Committee meets Wednesday to hear the results of its investigationon Patterson. His ex-wife has filed a new order of protection against him, telling me thatshe's afraid for their s-year-cld daughter,Meanwhile, Tucson City Attorney Baird Greene says he has no plans to drop thecharges and Senate Minority Leader Chad Campbell is sticking by his call for Pattersonto resign.

Patterson's private life hit public view in February after Escobar, his girlfriend/campaignmanager, filed an order of protection, claiming he assaulted her after Jocking her out of

"The fact that we are talking about this six or seven weeks later just underscores the factthat this has been a distraction for six or seven weeks," Campbell said.

the house. A Tucson police report quotes witnesses as saying they saw Patterson"backhand" Escobar, but no one was arrested.Patterson, who now faces four misdemeanor domest ic-violence charges, has said hedid nothing wrong -- that in fact he was the one who called police because she was theaggressor. Escobar, he says, has mental issues and a criminal history involving drugs,theft and domestic violence.Two weeks after the Feb. 24 altercation, Escobar was arrested in Quartzsite andcharged with possession of methamphetamine. Because she Was in jail, she was unableto attend a Tucson hearing on her restraining order, which was quashed.On Sunday night, she suddenly recanted."Daniel Patterson never hit or committed domest ic violence against me," she wrote. "Inever needed an order of protection against him. I'm sorry. I disagree with the ethicscomplaint. investigation and charges against him. He should be found innocent."Escobar didn't return calls on Monday.If you're wondering what's going on here, you're not alone. While some women do lieabout abuse, people who work with domestic-violence victims tell me they often recant.Rep. Katie Hobbs, D-Phoenix, who has long worked with Sojourner Center, says shehas no plans to withdraw her ethics complaint against Patterson. The complaint , shesays, was based upon a pattern of behavior, including verbal altercat ions at the Capitolthat have fallen just short of blows."I believe she was abused," Hobbs said of Escobar. "I've talked to her on the phone. I'veheard her stor ies and I've also interacted with Daniel on many occasions and witnessedhis behavior. I don't think that two women in a row would lie about him being abusive."Patterson's ex-wife, Jeneiene Schaffer says she recently filed a new order of protectionbecause she's afraid for her daughter's safety. Schaffer says Patterson began abusingher when she was eight months pregnant."He hit me twice a week and 80 percent of that time it was in front of (our daughter),"she said. "Not only did he hit me, he did exactly the same thing he did to Georgette. Herwould push me out the door, push me out the gate and Iwould have (our daughter) withme."Patterson is adamant that both women lied. He calls Schaffer'S allegations "old news"and says she's now using the court system to keep his daughter from him. He questionsthose witness statements that he backhanded Escobar and suspects the charges maybe some sort of political payback from the city of TUcson.In short, he believes that everybody has been unfair and everybody needs to back offnow that Escobar has recanted -- letting the story play out in court and letting him getback to his job, making laws for the rest of us to follow.

: . ( {umaSun .comEthics probe of Tucson Democrat to continueBY HOWARD FISCHER CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES2012032621.16:Q4PHOENIX - A House ethics probe into the conduct of a Tucson Democrat will continue even though theperson who leveled charges of domestic violence against him may have recanted.In what appears to be a Facebook posting from Georgette Escobar, she said that Daniel Patterson "neverhi t or committed domestic violence against me.""I never needed an order of protection against him," the posting states. "I'm sorry," it continues, saying thatshe believes Patterson "ahould be found innocent."Calls and em ai ls to Escobar were nol returned.Sut Rep. Ted Vogt, RTucson, who chairs the Ethics Committee, said Monday that the posting - even iftrue - does not change anything."We'll turn over that (posting) to the special counsel," he said, referring to the law firm the panel hired tolook Into the complaint fi led against Patterson by other House Democrats."They will investigate i t," Vogt said, "It wi ll be in thei r report ."How much can be done at this point, though. is unclear. Vagi said the first report from the lawyers is dueat the end of the week.Patterson said the posting, which he forwarded to members of the media on Monday, supports hiscontention that the whole inquiry is unwarranted. "I've never believed there should have been aninvestigation:But Rep. Katie Hobbs, O-Phoenix, who crafted the initial complaint, said anything Escobar writes or saysnow is irrelevant."First of ali, the scope of the complaint was broader than this one incident with Miss Escobar," she said.The complaint al leged that Patterson "has engaged in a pattern of conduct that may be considereddomestic violence." That goes back to quest ions of an order of protect ion his then-wife obtained duringtheir divorce."The second thing is, victims recant all the time," Hobbs said."I'm not cal ling her a l iar," the legislator continued. But Hobbs said there are various reasons storieschange."It might be safety, it might be economic reasons," she said.Vogtagreed that the wording of the complaint makes whatever Escobar is saying now less relevant, "Thelanguage is broader than that."All that angered Patterson."It's extremely frustrating to get the Ethics Committee to define what they're doing," he said. "Our feeling is
