Rep. Joseph Chaplik, a Republican elected to the Arizona State House in 2023 to represent the state’s 3rd House District, has recently posted several statements on his social media account addressing gun rights and campaign endorsements.
On March 12, 2026, Chaplik stated: “As long the 2nd Amendment shall not be infringed, a good guy with a gun will always be able to stop a bad guy with a gun.
With radicalism spreading across this country, thanks to Democrats, the right to bear arms and protect our loved ones is now more important than ever.”
The following day, March 13, he shared news of an endorsement from a former Arizona legislator: ” Endorsement Alert
I am very thankful to have the endorsement of former AZ legislator Nancy Barto.
Nancy served the NE Valley for years as a dependable conservative vote and held the line in countless battles at the capitol.
Thank you @NancyBarto”
On March 14, Chaplik announced another endorsement related to election integrity: ” Endorsement Alert
Nobody in office fights harder for free and fair elections than @RealMarkFinchem has.
It’s an honor to have your support for my campaign for Congress- Thank you, Senator Finchem.”
Chaplik succeeded Andres Cano as representative of Arizona’s 3rd House District after being elected in 2023. He continues to use his platform to advocate for Second Amendment rights and highlight support from prominent conservative figures as he campaigns for Congress.
