Association President
Bobby Wilson recently boasted about killing his mother. That's not the only violent altercation he has been in.

Bobby Wilson, a Republican candidate for Arizona State Senate, drew controversy at a Moms Demand Action event last month when he cited, as an example of "good guys" with guns, the time he fatally shot his own mother.
Now, The Arizona Republic has discovered Wilson was involved in another violent incident in 2016 at their vacation community in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, during which he allegedly made a violent threat against the president of a condo association, Dan Dimovski:
According to Dimovski, and another board member who witnessed the incident, Wilson entered the room and started pointing at Dimovski and yelling for him to stay away from his wife.
"My jaw dropped," Dimovski said. "I saw that violent look. I'll never forget that ... His face was very, like, crazy. His eyes were like popped out."
"Knowing what I know now," Dimovski told The Republic, "I think it was a threat to kill me, especially the fact that he has exposed his position on what he thinks of weapons."

Several years later, he claimed that his memory had returned and that the killing was defensive.
Wilson, who according to his website is a former attorney and "adjunct college instructor in law-related courses," and who reportedly resigned from the Texas State Bar over a felony conviction for forgery, is running for Arizona State Senate District 2 on a platform that touts "The Second Amendment" and, ironically, "Family Values."
