Maricopa County GOP: against their own moderate Black candidates?

The Maricopa County Republican Party has taken the unusual step of involving itself in a primary race for the state House of Representatives. Usually they let their voters decide and they back whoever is their party's nominee, although they generally back incumbents in the primary. In this case, in north Phoenix's battle to represent district 6 in the Arizona House, there is one incumbent (with one Representative retiring) and two others battling for two seats. So assuming incumbent Rep. Sam Crump wins in the primary, will the other Republican on the slate be Carl Seel or Tony Bouie? Bouie has been endorsed by Congressman John Shadegg and uber-conservative state Senator Pamela Gorman. Yet those are not conservative enough credentials for Bouie, a former professional football player. He opposes a Ward Connerly-backed initiative on the ballot this year to ban consideration of race or sex in various programs, and although he supports the employer sanctions law, some of his donors do not. Oh yes, and Bouie is also African-American. Is opposing their own moderate African-American candidates the way for Republicans to maintain a majority?
