Candidate Statement Pamphlet Primary Election

Letter from the Commission

Dear Arizona Voters:

Thank you for becoming involved in the political process in Arizona. By voting in the upcoming Primary and General Elections, you will be electing candidates for all of the statewide offices as well as 90 legislative seats consisting of 30 Senators and 60 Representatives.

The Candidate Statements Pamphlet is a nonpartisan, plain-language handbook published by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission, an independent state agency, to give you information about state elections. The Commission’s mission is to fairly, faithfully and fully implement and administer Arizona’s Citizens Clean Elections Act, which is a campaign finance reform measure initiated by Arizona citizens and passed by voters in 1998. The Act creates a campaign financing system that provides full public funding to qualified state and legislative office candidates who agree to abide by the Citizens Clean Elections Act and Commission regulations.

Through the successful implementation of the Citizens Clean Elections Act, the Commission seeks to promote public confidence in the electoral process. To learn more about the Citizens Clean Elections Act, the Commission, schedule of candidate debates or to watch the debates, please visit our web site, www.azcleanelections.gov.

Informed voters strengthen democracy. We hope that the 2010 Candidate Statements Pamphlet will help you make informed choices on Election Day.

Respectfully yours,

Royann Parker, Chairwoman Gary Scaramazzo Jeffrey Fairman Lori S. Daniels Louis J. Hoffman

Prior to the Primary Election, one Candidate Statements Pamphlet has been mailed to each household in Arizona that contains a registered voter.

Candidates seeking statewide and legislative offices are listed in alphabetical order by last name for the office sought. The candidate statements contained in this pamphlet have been reprinted as supplied by the candidates. The candidates listed in this guide were eligible to appear on the primary election ballot as of June 28, 2010.

Candidates that did not supply a statement by the deadline date, June 17, 2010, will have only their name, party affiliation and campaign funding listed in the pamphlet followed by the statement, “No Statement Submitted.” Candidate statements may have been edited for word count and layout.

Voting Rights Act

President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights legislation into law on August 6, 1965. The Act applied a nationwide prohibition against the denial or abridgment of the right to vote based on literacy tests and poll tax.

In 1975 Congress adopted the language minority provisions amendment of the Voting Rights Act. This amendment mandated bilingual ballots and oral assistance to those who spoke Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Native American languages, and Eskimo languages. The amendment requires that “when a covered state of political subdivision provides registration or voting notices, forms, instructions, assistance, or other materials of information relating to the electoral process, including ballots, it shall provide them in the language of the applicable minority group as well as in the English language.”

Arizona’s Citizens Clean Elections Act

The Citizens Clean Elections Act (Act) is a voter–approved initiative that established a system for publicly funding candidate campaigns. The system is voluntary; candidates may choose to participate to receive public funding or they may choose to raise private campaign funds.

The Act applies to candidates for legislative and statewide offices. To participate in the public funding system, a candidate must raise a number of $5 qualifying contributions during a defined qualifying period. Contributions from corporations and political action committees are prohibited.

To qualify for funding, participating candidates must apply for public funding within one week after the end of the qualifying period. Candidates who qualify for funding in contested party primary elections may receive an amount equal to the original primary election spending limit.

For the general election, those participating candidates who are opposed may receive an amount equal to the original general election spending limit.

Participating candidates may use a limited amount of personal monies and private contributions. Legislative candidates may use $640 of personal monies for their campaigns; candidates for statewide offices may use $1,280 of personal monies for their campaigns. In addition, participating candidates may raise a limited number of private contributions, which are called early contributions, during the exploratory and qualifying periods. The early contributions are limited to $140 per individual contributor.

The following shows the minimum number of qualifying contributions along with the amount each office may receive in both the primary and general elections as well as early contributions.

Office $5 Contributions Primary General Early Governor 4,410 $707,447 $1,061,171 $51,250 Secretary of State 2,755 $183,311 $274,967 $45,828 Attorney General 2,755 $183,311 $274,967 $45,828 Treasurer 1,650 $91,645 $137,468 $22,911 Supt.

These statements represent the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy of content. 12 Candidate Statement Pamphlet Primary Election Candidates for Governor Janice K. Brewer Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.janbrewer.com Governor Jan Brewer is getting the job done for Arizona – reducing spending, balancing the budget, fighting Obamacare and illegal immigration, demanding border security, protecting education, attracting jobs, and leading Arizona’s comeback. Brewer took over during the largest financial crisis in Arizona’s history. She didn’t create the problem, but she took the lead and solved it. Governor Brewer has reduced state spending by more than $2 billion – the most in state history. Brewer also fought to maintain education and public safety spending at critical levels, recognizing them as key components to job creation. Proposition 100 resoundingly passed statewide with over 64% of the vote. Brewer’s leadership in creating a stable financial environment in Arizona has also attracted over $1 billion in new private investment, creating thousands of new jobs. Today, Governor Brewer is a national leader on illegal immigration and border security. She stood up and demanded a secure border and signed into law the toughest immigration policy in the country giving Arizona the power to do the job that the federal government refuses to do. While others stand by with no plans, Governor Jan Brewer gets the job done. For more information, visit www.JanBrewer.com and www.SecuretheBorder.org.

Ronald Cavanaugh Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: “ We the people “, seems like a good place to start. I met thousands of people in 23 years driving coast to coast and border to border. Life’s lessons were learned. I have found that listening to the people is the only way to get to the truth of the matter. I am asking to be your voice. The Constitution of America and the Bill of Rights has been chipped away over the years. I am here to correct that. The 4 most important things to me right now are 1) The education of our youth. I believe the curriculum in our schools should be set by the teachers and educators and not by the Legislative branch of the Government or any other Government entity. 2) Safety and Security. You don’t cut the budget for Law enforcement and /or Fire protection. Find your cut somewhere else. Take the cut from the Government. Now that’s a novel idea. 3) State assisted Healthcare. This is important not just for the elderly, but to people, who by no fault of there own, are left with no care for there children and family. 4) Taxes: Raising them, haven’t we had enough of the Government using our taxes to bail themselves out.

Larry Gist Party: Green Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: Gist4governor.com GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY I will work to increase public participation at every level of government and to ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. Encourage participatory democracy by directly including citizens in the decisionmaking process. ECOLOGICAL WISDOM We must maintain an ecological balance and live within the ecological and resource limits of our communities and our planet. I support a sustainable society which utilizes resources in such a way that future generations will benefit and not suffer from the practices of past. EDUCATION: Future Generations depend upon today's training and preparation. I support a “classroom first” priority budget. I will set up an Advisory Committee of parents and teachers for each of the 15 counties. Their input on local education issues will assist me in improving our National Standing for Education. BUDGET: Government must learn to live within its means. I will be fiscally minded, and will apply social responsibility within budget cutting measures. JOBSJOBSJOBS I will work with Local communities to attract and create Jobs in “Solar Energy” and other “Renewable Energy” working toward weaning us from our Foreign Oil Dependency, while Creating Lasting Jobs. Appreciate your Vote!

These statements represent the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy of content. 13 Candidate Statement Pamphlet Primary Election Candidates for Governor Terry Goddard Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.TerryGoddard.com As your Attorney General, I have worked every day to protect Arizona families. In my continuing fight against the drug cartels, I've targeted and disrupted the flow of illegal cash pouring south across the border and broken many links in the smuggling chains. I’ve taken on predatory mortgage companies, payday lenders and meth dealers — even when the legislature refused. As your Governor, I will use my experience to get Arizona working again: To growing our economy, better educating our children, and building a stronger, safer Arizona. Winning cases and civil settlements, I saved Arizona taxpayers millions of dollars. Last year, my Office recovered or seized more that $267 million. I put the $94 million in nontax payer funds from our lawsuit against Western Union into fighting border crime. Restoring Arizona’s economy must be Job One for the next Governor. To do that, we must put politics aside and bring Arizonans together behind a jobs plan. We need honest, public discussions to rally our state behind closing the budget deficit and cutting waste; getting our schools out of last place and reaching for the stars. We can't afford any more political games or gridlock at the Capitol. To learn more about where I stand, please go to www.TerryGoddard.com.

Barry Hess Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.HessForGovernor.com Libertarians are bound to their integrity and the principles of protecting the individual’s rights and propertythe blessings of ‘liberty’. This is the primary function of government as described in the Declaration of Independence. Our Government is too big and it has gone too far beyond the constraints of its constitutional charter. I believe it should do what it is supposed to and nothing more. Participation in any services or programs government provides, beyond its mandates, are necessarily voluntary. Forcibly taking your labor (money)or property is theft, and nothing else. Theft is still theft, even by government, and even if they say it’s for a good cause. I support: Educational choice and competition; Your uninfringeable right to defend yourself; Your right to privacy, and Your absolute right to keep all that you earn. I believe together we can build a bright and prosperous future for Arizona. My campaign is financed by voluntary contributions— NOT money stolen from my fellow Citizens. Only a pretend Libertarian would say they’ll lessen your burdens by taking more of your money. www.HessForGovernor.com , FaceBook: hess4governor. Vote Libertarian, we come with a “Money Back GUARANTEE!”

Matthew Jette Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: govjette.com Matt Jette’s story is an American story. Built out of perseverance and hard work, Matt stands today as the only candidate who can truly represent all people of Arizona. Matt Jette has earned multiple degrees, including a PhD while battling learning disabilities. He helped start a non profit organization and biked across America to provide hope to children. Matt has survived major illnesses, was selected as a community hero of Montana, and has overcome poverty. Arizona is more than ever in need of true leadership. With an education system on the rocks, an immigration policy that polarizes more than it solves, a need for health care reform for Arizona, and an economy in despair, opportunity is needed more than ever. Matt Jette has a plan, the commitment, and the knowledge to work across differing opinions in order to strengthen education and rebuild infrastructure to bring in businesses and jobs for people of Arizona. Matt Jette will move to create a new health care system and immigration policy that will not only save the state millions, but increase revenues. “It is certainly understandable that we would lose belief in our government officials since they have long ago abandoned a belief in us.”

As financial markets crashed, we thrived, returning profits of over $1 billion to taxpayers. I was called "chicken little" for warning state leaders that a fiscal crisis was looming. Yet, spending has actually gone up $300 million during this recession. Governor Brewer increased spending through line item vetoes, raised property and sales taxes. Arizonans saw the values of their homes drop while their property tax bills increased! This is the wrong direction. You cannot spend more than you make, government shouldn't either. I am the only candidate with the financial experience to turn Arizona's fiscal mess around. We must focus on creating real jobs, not more government. SB1070 is a good start. But we need border security now, stop waiting for Napolitano. My Zero Tolerance Plan stops Brewer’s early release program for illegals and sends 3,000 Guard troops to patrol the border immediately. We need education and welfare reform: Government defines success by the number of people they're helping. That's a mistake. Success should be measured by how many people no longer need help. Visit www.VoteDeanMartin.com.

Buz Mills Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.buz4gov.com I am not a politician. I’m a businessman and Marine Corps veteran who has built successful companies and created thousands of jobs. Arizona needs new leadership to solve the state’s economic crisis. My opponents either want to raise taxes, increase state debt, or both. This is irresponsible. The only way to fix the budget mess is to impose acrosstheboard spending cuts. That means all agencies and all departments. I did not support the $3 billion sales tax increase or the $250 million property tax increase. I will work to reverse these massive tax increases. We must cut spending. I support strengthening border security. I support SB1070 and I support making border security a priority in the state’s budget. This includes deploying the National Guard and a dedicated Border Task Force. Unlike my opponents, I am not accepting public funds to run for office. Especially in this budget and economic crisis, it is irresponsible to use public money to run for political office. I am prolife, serve on the board of the National Rifle Association, and I am a strong supporter of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I would be honored to have your support and your vote.

Bruce Olsen Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.bruceolsen4gov.com In 1964 Ronald Reagan gave a speech for Barry Goldwater. Every issue he addressed then we are dealing with today. Common denominator then vs now is the Republican and Democrat Party. (A Time for Choosing). Not only are we still dealing with those issues , we are demonstrably worse off. Every election we just move the problem from one side of the isle to the other. Doing the same thing over and over again is insanity. Im running for Governor,I am a Constitutional Conservative Libertarian. Ronald Reagan ,also said that Libertarianism is at the heart and soul of Conservatism. If elected I intend to build the border fence. I will reduce the size and scope of government by 60% to start. I will work to kick start rural agriculture, small family farms and greenhouses. We need to produce our food locally and consume locally. I will create tax policy that will bring light and medium manufacturing back to Arizona. I will also bring back the timber industry by taking back our forest lands. Federal mandates are over. Governors will work together to save our Republic. www.bruceolsen4gov.com. Federal Government is out of control. Lets control our own destiny. Thanks Bruce Olsen

Seven Years Government Management. Five Years Corporate Executive. 10 years private entrepreneur. Five years Professor of Communication Studies. Published in Business Research. Yes! Firearm Ownership. Carries Arizona CCW. Will Secure Border. SB 1070 is fine. However, when illegals cross our border, either they find jobs and things get better, or they’re sent back where things remain unchanged. Until we alter this, illegals will return, repeatedly. Yount proposes using illegals to build the border fence. No! Traffic Cameras. American money leaves the United States. An Australian company receives a percentage of fines collected. 10th Amendment Advocate. Can Balance the State Budget. Yount knows where fat is hidden. He once financed a public safety project with unused government asset requests. Yount knew if the assets were not purchased within eight months, they were “fat.” Yount knows just how government budgets are constructed. One Term Governor. During his executive tenure with LDDS, Yount simultaneously directed multiple large departments: Engineering – Field Operations – Statewide Dispatch – Network Services – Internal Communication – Warehousing. Yount can make difficult fiscal decisions without worry of reelection. He seeks only “one term.”

These statements represent the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy of content. 16 Candidate Statement Pamphlet Primary Election Candidates for Secretary of State Ken Bennett Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.BennettArizona.com You deserve a Secretary of State with the integrity to manage fair, open and honest elections, the conservative values to hold down government spending in a time of recession and the experience to be first in the line of succession for the Governor's Office. I know I am that person. Since becoming Secretary of State last year, I've acted to toughen penalties against petition fraud, improve election access for members of our military overseas and ensure enforcement of ID requirements at the polls. My office has also enacted stringent new requirements to mandate nextday reporting anytime a union or corporation spends money to influence your vote for or against a candidate. Disclosure, transparency and accountability these are my priorities. See for yourself at www.azsos.gov. Outside of the Secretary of State's Office, I am a husband of 28 years with three children and one grandchild. I was born in Tucson, raised in Prescott and now make my home in Gilbert. My record of public service spans 25 years, from the Prescott City Council to President of the State Senate. But I'm also a smallbusinessman familiar with the pressure of making payrolls and meeting deadlines. I ask for your vote this election.

Chris Deschene Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: descheneforarizona.com What Republicans have been doing in our state capitol has been hard to watch. That’s why I’ve been standing up and fighting on the issues I think are critical. I voted to protect education funding, preserve healthcare access for Arizona’s most vulnerable children, and successfully took the Republican Secretary of State to court to protect the rights of minority voters. I am a proud Democrat, a Native American and a former Marine Corps officer with ten years’ service in the US and overseas. I believe voters need someone to stand up unequivocally for what they believe and let voters know that we are proud patriots. The Secretary of State administers voting and elections in Arizona, so my main goals will be ensuring our election system is accountable and transparent, removing existing policies that discriminate against rural voters, and crack down on people who engage in polling place intimidation and socalled “votersuppression” campaigns. I am the only candidate in this race who has pledged to make sure Arizona’s elections are impartially administered, and the only one who’s authored and passed legislation protecting the rights of voters. I ask for your support and hope you will give me your vote. Thank you.

Sam Wercinski Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: SAM4AZ.com Please watch my introductory video at www.Sam4AZ.com. State government is broken. My military, private and public sector leadership provide the experience needed to fix the Secretary of State’s office. My priorities reflect those of voters, like you: Conduct fair and honest elections and ensure every citizen’s vote counts; Partner with community and business leaders to create jobs; Work with the AG to protect consumers from fraud. I’m an Arizona Democrat whose record appeals to all Arizonans. As a trusted Napolitano cabinet member, I fixed a broken state agency and sent 3% of my budget back to the general fund. As an USAF Intelligence Officer, I promoted mutual respect; as a business owner and community organizer, I helped thousands of Arizonans. My work with families and communities reflects our values and makes me the right choice for the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State. I can beat Jan Brewer’s choice. I can make this office into a productive resource. And yes, I can ensure a smooth transition to the Governor’s office if this duty is required.

He banned bilingual education, demanded excellence, and held schools, teachers and students accountable for results. Arizona students now perform above the national average on the relevant national tests (TerraNova taken by all students in grades 29, SAT, and ACT), we spend less on administration, students are performing better, and taxpayers are reaping the benefits. As Attorney General, he has three priorities: First, secure our borders and fight illegal immigration. (For detailed proposals, see www.ElectTomHorne.com.) He is endorsed by former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who started the national movement to curb illegal immigration. Second, strictly enforce the laws, so that we are safe in our homes and in our communities. (Endorsed by Highway Patrol Association.) Third, create a legal environment that is conducive to business growth. Tom Horne made conservative principles work in the Department of Education, and he will make conservative principles work in the Attorney General’s office.

David Lujan Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.davidlujan.com As your Attorney General, I will make the economic security and public safety of Arizonans my top priority. I have spent my career in public service being an advocate and getting real results for those who needed them. As an Assistant Attorney General, I protected funding for our schools by prosecuting officials who raided school funds for their own benefit. In the House of Representatives, where I am the Democratic Leader, I’ve authored tough laws cracking down on violent crime and identity theft. As the attorney for the nonprofit Defenders of Children, I assist victims of child abuse and domestic violence, including fighting abuses in Colorado City. About onethird of the Attorney General’s duties are protecting child abuse victims, and I do that work everyday. If elected, I will continue my work to protect victims of child abuse and domestic violence. I will crack down on mortgage fraud and identity theft, serving as a trusted advocate for seniors, and protecting them from abuse and scams. I will go after the criminal organizations running drug and human smuggling operations along the border. And I will bring resources to our rural communities, working with local law enforcement to protect every Arizonan.

Secure our border and stop anything illegal from entering our state. Shut down mortgage fraud and human smuggling to build a safer Arizona. I’m Felecia Rotellini, and my priorities as your Attorney General are clear. I will fight violent crime and stop predators who threaten our lives and our homes. I will crack down on consumer fraud, gang activity and Mexican cartels bringing drugs, people and guns across our border. I will create a special unit to ensure aggressive prosecution of those who exploit or physically abuse seniors. I’m a veteran prosecutor who spent 17 years stopping criminals from victimizing everyday Arizonans. When one of the world’s largest accounting firms allowed the Baptist Foundation of Arizona to defraud working families, I helped prosecute the criminals and recovered millions of dollars for the elderly victims.

Andrew Thomas Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: thomasforarizona.com The Attorney General must be a proven crime fighter. As a former prosecutor, assistant attorney general for Arizona, and Maricopa County Attorney, I alone offer such a record to the voters. I'd be honored to receive your vote. I’ve locked up record numbers of criminals and protected crime victims. Leading police organizations and sheriffs across Arizona have endorsed me. They recognize I’m the one candidate who’s worked alongside police to safeguard our homes and neighborhoods. My tough prosecution policies helped drive down crime rates by 19 percent more than twice the national average. Working with Sheriff Arpaio and others, I've led innovative crackdowns on illegal immigration. These efforts were controversial. But the results speak for themselves. Because of these programs, Arizona’s population of illegal immigrants dropped 18 to 30 percent. I’m not afraid to take on tough causes for the right reasons. I've been attacked by powerful politicians I've prosecuted for corruption and by their friends. But I firmly believe nobody is above the law. As Attorney General I’d bring the same nononsense approach to fighting identity theft and fraud, and to ending the violence along our border with Mexico. And, as even my critics admit, nobody will own me.

Andrei Cherny Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.AndreiForArizona.com It’s time someone in state government stood up for the middle class Arizonans who work hard and do what’s right, but are getting ignored.

As State Treasurer, he won’t be just another insider lapdog, he’ll be “The Taxpayers’ Bulldog.” Andrei Cherny will take on the bureaucrats by using his audit power to reform state government so that it is more accountable, works better, costs less, and demands personal responsibility. He’ll take on the insiders and the lobbyists so that instead of Arizona risking so many of our taxpayer dollars in the stocks of bailedout banks and Wall Street corporations, we can help small businesses create good jobs here at home – especially by helping make Arizona “the Solar State.” Andrei has already taken on the politicians in both parties. As Treasurer, he’ll be an independent voice for fiscal responsibility and good public schools. Andrei Cherny – A Tough Arizona Prosecutor. The Taxpayers’ Bulldog.

I ushered "Structured English Immersion" into our schools, which eliminated bilingual education. My leadership skills have helped turn an underachieving school into a high achieving school, turn poor performing students into great students all while protecting our tax dollars. As a former teacher, principal, district administrator, and currently Deputy Superintendent of the Arizona Department of Education, I know first hand that the keys to learning can be found in some oldfashioned conservative principles. The five elements to creating a successful school are: a dedicated principal, effective teachers, a comprehensive curriculum, strong discipline and motivated students. These core convictions, which I have promoted throughout my career, are the ones I will advance as Superintendent of Public Instruction. In fact, I was singled out for making these conservative principles work in a nationally acclaimed book, 10 traits of Highly Effective Principals. Public education in Arizona will improve if we are true to our conservative beliefs and if we create an environment that is responsive to change. That is what I have always done, and it's what I will do as Superintendent of Public Instruction.

John Huppenthal Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.improvingarizonaschools.com State Senator John Huppenthal is one of America’s leading education policy experts, a past chairman of a school board and THE conservative choice for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Huppenthal’s bills protected homeschoolers from an overreaching government, brought high academic standards and accountability back into our classrooms and created a disciplined, organized classroom emphasizing all students read by third grade and the importance of math and science leading to highpaying jobs. Huppenthal’s program to hold schools and teachers accountable by tying merit pay with academic improvement in the Sedona School District catapulted the district’s education quality from average to among the highest in the state a program he will adopt statewide.

To make that promise a reality we need safe and respectful school learning environments, effective teachers and school leaders who are dedicated to every students' success, fair and reasonable measures of progress at all levels, and strong collaborative relationships with communities and parents. Our public schools deserve an experienced, visionary public educator who will focus on the possibilities and promise of public education, and who has the skills, knowledge and tenacity to make that vision a reality. I have more than 30 years of experience in K12 public education, eighteen of those years as a classroom teacher.

As a 6th grade teacher in Oakland, I was nominated for California’s Middle School Teacher of the Year and elected to the California Teachers Association State Council. I served as Teach For America’s Executive Director in Phoenix, moving Arizona from the lowest to the highest performing region in America. I helped create the College Depot.

Jorge Garcia Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.votegarcia.org I want to strengthen our clean and renewable energy standards. Arizona is rich in clean renewable energy sources, especially solar energy.

And, as we help the environment, we can also create jobs for Arizonans. I have served for 12 years in both houses of our legislature and am currently the Senate Democratic Leader. My extensive legislative experience and consistent support for clean renewable energy uniquely qualify me for the Corporation Commission. The League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra Club give me high evaluations. I have lived in Arizona for 49 years; I earned my Bachelor’s from the UA and my Master’s from ASU.

Gary Pierce Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.garypierceforarizona.com Hi, I’m Gary Pierce and I want to thank you for your support as I have served you on the Arizona Corporation Commission. Many of you contacted me and I appreciated your overwhelming endorsement in May as I wrote a letter to challenge the confused mayor and city council of Los Angeles. Boycotting Arizona, a provider of electricity, water, and friendly landfills, was shortsighted. To be selective in the boycott is pure hypocrisy! They needed to be called out for it, and 93% of Americans agreed with me! I am still the hardnosed conservative you elected four years ago. That is why my friend Barry Goldwater Jr. has endorsed me. As a former small business owner with over seventy employees, I assure you that I know what many of you face and have faced every day. Our struggling economy dictates that utility companies must squeeze more out of their current incomes, too. You need to know that I hold these monopolies accountable. If utilities make bad decisions, there are no bailouts, just consequences. Rated a “Friend of the Taxpayer,” I promise to continue to be your voice on the Arizona Corporation Commission.

He protected land developers protItS. He let homeowners sink or swim on their own. What did Steve Pierce do about the budget crisis? He raised our taxes and didn't go after government waste. What did Pierce do on education? We are dead last in funding our children's future. And what did he do on border security? Nothing! His bill goes after the roofers and day laborers that build our houses and ignores violence on the border. Drug cartels are sending their violence to our streets. We must stop the drugs and violence at the source, not let them reach our streets. Marine Corp veteran Bob Donahue will protect our borders. Family man Bob Donahue will fund quality education. Business leader Bob Donahue will end the budget crisis by ferreting out government waste, closing tax loopholes and promoting sustainable growth. And finally homeowner Bob will move to make lenders accountable for their abuse, make homes more energy efficient and bring utility costs down through use of renewables. Finally why doesn't Arizona collect royalties on its vast mineral wealth? Is this the key to putting Arizona back on the right track?

I am running for State Senate because our children and grandchildren deserve the same opportunities we’ve had. As your Senator, I will put my 50 years of experience to work – creating economic growth for our community. Joan and I have been married for 37 years and raised our four children in Prescott, and we have been blessed with four grandchildren.

Given the unfortunate situation Arizona finds itself with respect to immigration issues and outrageous budget deficits, there has never been a better time than now to send a true advocate for those less heard to the AZ State Legislature. We, the people of LD2, live “Rural Arizona”, which is to say we work hard daily to make an honest living despite challenges such as limited access to health care, little to no running water or electricity, and impassable roads due to inclement weather. All of this, while paying our taxes, sending our bravest to the US Armed Forces, and upholding our democracy. Needless to say, we have earned the right to better educational opportunities for our children, unique considerations for economic recovery, and proper consultation before making critical decisions that impact our public safety, all of which we have yet to receive with current state leadership. As a Veteran, ASU alumni, former educator, and experienced legislator, I’m prepared to publicly serve our diverse communities with character, initiative, and compassion. I respectfully seek your VOTE.

Gloria HaleShowalter Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: My past 30 years have been committed to improving the status of our human resources and improving our communities for a better life through educating children, working closely with parents, and local/state/federal leaders. Working with people in the rural/urban communities have been most rewarding. As a good listener with articulate exchanges, I have learned various ways of approaching and working with people especially those who have different views about life and prosperity. I have always displayed genuine interest, passion, and respect for all persons. I would continue to use these approaches that have worked so well in my leadership years with all multiethnic representations, respecting authority, and the protocols established. One who has had the experience in leadership will know how to speak "with" and "listen to" these citizens respectfully. One who has experience in various fields will be able to speak knowledgably to the issues. It is now time for me to give back to the people who worked well with me throughout my successful career in AZ. It is now time for me to run for the AZ Senate seat in LD2. I would dedicate myself to serving the people in rural AZ LD2.

Jack Jackson, Jr. Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.JackforAZ.com Growing up in Window Rock, I saw both the beauty and the adversity that can exist in rural Arizona. I was fortunate to grow up with a strong, supportive family, but we didn’t have much. My family wasn’t the only economically disadvantaged household. The people and the families around us struggled to overcome the same obstacles. I grew up in a community with high unemployment, alcoholism, and lack of basic infrastructure: water, roads, electricity. I learned firsthand the basic needs of many rural peoples. The plight of the people cut off from urban America was engrained in me at an early age. I committed to fight to bring equality of opportunity, and equality of rights to basic human needs back to my homeland. My candidacy is about the fight for elected representation in the Arizona state government. Serving as a representative of tribes and as a former member of the Arizona State Legislature has taught me the value of having a voice in the process of public policy. The people of Arizona’s LD2 need a stronger voice more representative of their needs and concerns. I have the ability, the knowhow, and the drive to be that voice.

We Senate Republicans passed SB1070 on a party line vote. Not one single Democrat would break ranks with their party leadership to vote yes along with us. It is truly sad that Arizona Democrat Legislators, just like their party members in Washington D.C., would go against the will of 70% of the people. With the out pouring of opposition from open border special interest groups against SB1070, it is very important that Senators such as me, that are willing to take a stand against the open border amnesty crowd, are reelected. I shudder to think what would happen to Arizona if the proillegal supporters ever get control of the State Senate. This is not a new battle for me, as Mohave County Chairman of Protect Arizona Now; we successfully passed Proposition 200 at the ballot in 2004 to keep illegal aliens from voting in our elections. I was also one of the Senate Negotiators of our “Employer Sanctions” law that created the state crime against businesses hiring illegal aliens. I ask for your vote in the upcoming primary election.

Our state must balance its budget. This means we must make the difficult, but necessary, choices of what programs to cut; the same tough choices you and I make for our families everyday. Likewise, our government must create tax incentives, and even tax breaks, to attract businesses back to our state so we can put our hard working citizens back to work. We need to stimulate competition and create incentives, not restrict them. We must continue to take the necessary strides to secure our border, and honor our immigrants by strictly enforcing our laws and prohibiting illegal aliens from breaching our borders. We need to reach out to our education department to restructure a broken funding system that does not allow the proper amount of dollars to flow into our classrooms. This can and should be done without raising taxes. My name is Shawn Kohner and I would be honored to have your vote on August 24th. www.shawnkohner.com

As a fifth generation Arizona native, my knowledge of our challenges runs deep. I work tirelessly to limit the impact of the state’s budget crisis on working families, small businesses and counties. My guiding compass is the constitution and its founding principles which include: Limited government, lower taxes and personal responsibility. As a consistent conservative with a proven voting record, I am a recipient of awards like “Legislator of the Year; Hero of the Taxpayer; Friend of the Family.” I have earned top5 rankings from conservative groups like The Goldwater Institute and the PAChyderm Coalition. My focus is to solve our budget deficit through reform of programs and heal our rural economy using free market principles. District 5 citizens have unique challenges in the fight for their rightful access and use of natural resources, in attracting jobs, better education and reliable healthcare. They remain my priorities. I am a trusted, proven voice for rural families.

Elaine Bohlmeyer Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.elaineforarizona.com Elaine Bohlmeyer recognizes that our state is struggling with tough financial problems, and we need practical and responsible solutions, not only for the short term, but for future generations. We must attract and keep businesses in our state that pay good wages, as this will increase our tax base. Our rural areas are especially suffering, and we need to support our mining and agricultural industries, but we also need newer, high tech industries. We need industries that use our natural, renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. We must utilize scientific methods for using our forests in ways that will produce products as well as keep the forests healthy. We must commit to a firstclass education for our children so we can compete in an international business arena. We must make sure all of our citizens have access to quality health care so they are healthy when they go to work or school, as this makes good economic sense. And we must offer our veterans reasonable advantages to help provide them a decent quality of life in thanks for the service the have rendered to us. If you vote for me, I will work hard for these issues.

Bill Konopnicki Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: kono4.us It has been my honor to represent our rural district in the legislature. Much has been accomplished; however, I feel my job is not yet completed. That is why I have decided to run for the State Senate. As a business owner, legislator and lifelong Arizonan, I understand the future of Arizona, family values and our rights as citizens. I oppose bigger government, deficit spending and amnesty to those who cross our borders illegally. My goal in serving is to make life better for rural Arizona.

Lori Klein Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.kleinforsenate.net I’m running for the State Senate to give the voters an honest and proven conservative choice. I have a lifelong record of working for conservative causes and have led the fight for private property rights (Prop 207 in 2006) and to protect our health care freedom from programs like ObamaCare (Prop 101 in 2008). I am prolife, protaxpayer, progun and proschool choice. I am proud to have the endorsements of former Rep. Sam Crump and other conservative leaders and groups. My opponent is a nice man, but he serves the education unions and bureaucracy. He makes his living selling the schools products and his brief voting record makes it clear that he is no conservative. But it is an election year so he is campaigning as a conservative anyway. Still, his support for higher taxes/spending is telling, as is that he only votes for conservative measures like SB1070 (Sen. Russell Pearce’s measure to fight illegal immigration) when he has no other political choice. No wonder I have been endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other secureborder leaders. Let’s take our government back and toss out the failed policies and politicians of the past. We deserve better.

Nancy Barto Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.NancyBarto.com Two words describe Nancy Barto for State Senate. Integrity and effectiveness. You expect integrity in your elected representatives – people who follow the principles they claim to believe in after they have been elected. During the three terms I have had the privilege of serving you in the House of Representatives I have voted to reduce government spending, cut taxes, promoted education reforms ending social promotion and increasing school choice, supported health insurance and tort reforms that will lower health care costs, voted for over a dozen measures aimed at stopping illegal immigration and protected our 2nd amendment rights. In terms of effectiveness, I have earned the Friend of the Taxpayer award from Americans for Prosperity. And in 2009 I successfully sponsored the Arizona Health Care Freedom Act –– giving Arizonans the opportunity to vote on the measure in November. I also shepherded successful measures strengthening families, protecting the unborn, womens' health and children in CPS. In this economy there is much more to be done to reform state government and make Arizona’s business climate conducive to sustainable job growth as well as an attractive place to raise and educate the next generation. Thank you for your consideration.

Brad Buch Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.bradbuch.com As a true conservative, I would require the state budget be balanced. This requires removing the waste within the various state government departments, not across the board budget cuts. Tax increases in any form are not a consideration. In fact, I am in favor of discussing the possibility of a flat income tax. We can eliminate property taxes, sin taxes and others. With a simplified tax structure, business growth and job creation will follow. Border security is critical. After decades of ignoring the issue, it is obvious the federal government is unwilling to do their job. Therefore it is up to the State of Arizona to take control and protect ourselves. The costs for securing the border should and can be paid for by the federal government. There are many other issues facing our state like education and medicaid. As State Senator for district 7, I am confident we can resolve these issues. I intend to seek out the truth regarding the issues we are facing in our state. No spin, no politics. Just the facts. Then, and only then we can resolve these problems. I would be honored to be the peoples' voice for Legislative District 7.

Our current Legislature has failed us by approving a budget of over spending, and failing to enact the best policies to improve our economy. I will sponsor bills to cut corporate income taxes so small businesses can grow, and large businesses will start relocating to Arizona, creating jobs. I support creating a copay system for AHCCCS so people will use medical care wisely and help to offset the massive costs. For our illegal immigration problem, I am committed to additional policies that discourage border crossings and actively investigate fraud that continues to drain our tax money. I intend to work closely with education experts to enact the reforms we need to significantly improve our education system for all students. Finally, I believe in limiting government interference in our lives and will support legislation to reduce the size of our state government. I am a conservative candidate who will be a leader, not a follower, and I look forward to starting a new era for the great state of Arizona.

Eric Shelley Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.ericshelley.com As a native of Arizona, I know how blessed our state is with great weather, great communities, and most of all great people. Friends often tell me they moved to Arizona from somewhere else because of the opportunity to live in a vibrant community with thriving businesses and excellent schools, where everyone has a chance to make a difference. But our current state government keeps making wrong decisions, decisions that derail Arizonans’ chances of enjoying the lifestyle they seek. Instead of protecting jobs, they give away tax breaks to the rich. Instead of bringing innovation to our energy needs, they keep us stuck in the last century. And instead of safeguarding education, they pass the buck to the voters, despite knowing how important education is to us. We can change that. And I want to be a part of that change. I will work hard to protect schools at all levels. I will help attract and retain the businesses and industries of the future. And I will make sure that when our state government acts, it acts to benefit everyone – not just special interests. With your help, we can put Arizona back on the right track!

The renewable energy jobs bill she cosponsored has been credited for already bringing 1,100 new jobs to Arizona. Rep. Reagan believes priorities such as quality education and adequate healthcare are only possible for the longterm within a strong economy.

We need to support our housing industry to stabilize the foreclosure crisis and insure stability. I will work tirelessly for jobs for Arizona. I will work hard to open our healthcare system to provide basic care to avoid the very costly emergency room alternative. I will work to build an educational system that is relevant to our students and prepares them for a responsible future. We all need to work together to build a better future for Arizona. As your State Senator I will dedicate myself to that goal.

My record shows that I have not only kept those promises, I have been a leader in those areas. I was a prime cosponsor of SB1070 and other bills to fight illegal immigration. I was the prime sponsor of an innovative school choice program for foster and disabled students, which is used as a model across the nation. I also sponsored bills to make Arizona’s tax code more jobfriendly, limit property tax increases, protect your Second Amendment rights, and support prolife, pro family social policies.

Michael Patti Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: Vote4Patti.com I am thankful to be a citizen of the United States, and to reside in the beautiful state of Arizona. The opportunities are boundless to pursue one’s goals and dreams, and these opportunities must be protected. My intention is to protect individual freedom and to limit the actions by our government. Libertarians promote compassion by allowing all individuals to live their lives in peace and respecting equal rights under the law. This simple act ensures tolerance and inclusivity of others. Libertarians are consistent on selfownership of one’s own body, action, speech and property. The primary role of government is to defend individuals against force and fraud. As you review the issues important to Arizona, please keep in mind that my intention is to pass legislation that promotes liberty and less government. By strictly following the Libertarian perspective that promotes a limited government, the checks and balances of powers and individual liberty, we will be on track to achieving our goal. As a citizen, not a politician, I would be honored to represent the people of District 9 to pursue our objectives with conviction in the name of freedom.

We must budget and appropriate tax payer monies carefully, so we can accomplish this goal without burdening Arizonans with more tax increases. It can be done. Vote for better education for our children and the future of Arizona. Vote for a fiscal conservatives before we sink into the monetary abyss. Vote for a republican candidate who is “for the people, not the politics.”

The incumbent has a more moderate voting record, which is reflected by weak positions on border security and illegal immigration. Clark wants to ensure the constituents of LD12 have a reliable voice in the Senate unlike the incumbent who missed 20% of the votes in 2009. The incumbent also voted to overregulate business throughout his tenure in the House and Senate. Clark Silver believes that placing burdensome regulations on the economy, especially in the middle of a downturn, is a prescription for a slow recovery. He also supports reducing the business personal property tax to attract more businesses to Arizona and provide more jobs to the state’s suffering jobless. LD 12’s third choice in the Senate race is endorsed by Somos Republicans and doesn’t support SB1070. Clark Silver is a realtor and a small businessman with an understanding of the burdens government places on businesses. He has served on a charter school board and is also running for the Agua Fria High School Board. Clark and his wife, Julie, have been married 16 years and have one daughter.

Michael White Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: whiteforliberty.com Keep government out of the bedroom and out of the boardroom! This has been my very simple philosophy and my reason for running for State Senate. Too long have we had this duopoly of political idealism where one can hardly tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat. If either one would do what they promised, they would be a Libertarian. I have the great privilege to say that Arizona has been my only home. My passion is to fully understand the community in which I have lived my entire life and to protect the ideals that have come to shape the person I am today. As an Arizonan, it is my commitment to protect civil liberties, to substantially reduce the size and intrusiveness of government, and to cut all taxes. I am no politician…far from it. I am a school teacher and more importantly I am a concerned citizen who is tired of a runaway government with no sense of selfcontrol. As Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine words Americans should fear the most is ‘I’m with the government and I’m here to help.’” There is a better way Arizona, and it’s called Liberty!

I have decided to run for the State Senate to represent the hardworking families of Legislative District 13. As a lifelong resident of the West Valley and a Democrat, I have had the honor and privilege to serve my neighbors as a state representative for six years. During my time as a legislator, I have sponsored legislation and then became the chair of the successful ballot measure to increase the state minimum wage. I have fought and will continue to fight for workers rights, economic development, access to health care, wellfunded education system and equal protection for all. Immigration reform is an issue I take seriously, that is why in the past I led efforts for comprehensive immigration reform and pledge to continue that fight at both the state and national level. I bring a dedicated work ethic, experience and the proven leadership to work on solutions for the critical issues facing our state and our communities. These are the reasons I asked the good people of District 13 to allow me to once again represent them at the state Legislature.

As State Representative for the past four terms, the economy, community and social service programs have long been my center point in serving the district. I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of an economy in ruins. We can no longer continue to lag behind the nation in providing the basic fundamentals, job creation and education. In order to solve this crisis, we must work together. Work together as a cohesive entity and stop working only for the party of which we were elected. No longer will the secret brokering of special interest groups be pandered to nor be acceptable. The public has the right to be an active participant in the decisions made for Arizona. We must work across the aisle in a humane and professional manner with Republicans to convey our party's positions and elicit Democrats to work with Republicans. Our state can no longer be run by a single party pushing its all or nothing agenda, otherwise Arizona will become the last state people will want to live, invest, raise a family and be proud of to call home.

Kyrsten now wants to bring her dedication to social justice and years of experience in the House of Representatives to the State Senate.

She sits on numerous boards and commissions, and she has worked to help people across the nation and throughout the world. She has dedicated herself to helping end the current genocide in Darfur, and she has served as a member of President Obama's national team on healthcare reform. Kyrsten is a proven leader who has dedicated her life to community service, not just elected office. Now more than ever District 15 needs a strong, sensible voice in the Arizona Legislature. Vote for Kyrsten Sinema for State Senator.

Bob Thomas Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: You expect representation from your elected officials, but that is not what we have been getting. My opponent is far more interested in grabbing headlines for herself than seeking practical solutions to Arizona’s problems. I have had a successful 42year career in retail, ranching, farming, import/export, consulting and marketing. I’ll bring a commonsense realworld perspective to our state’s budget, and real solutions to help our ailing economy. My focus is on job creation—higherpaying jobs not just lowwage service jobs. We must also return common sense to our government. My opponent opposes enforcing immigration laws because it is “discriminatory” to target illegal aliens. I have support from Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike because everyone, except my opponent, understands the crisis Arizona is facing. We need political courage and leadership, not political correctness. My opponent protects failing schools while I want to protect the children that are trapped in those schools. Our kids are more important than her political supporters, and we need to get our kids into schools that can teach them, while retraining or replacing teachers and administrators who are letting us down. Let’s put people before politics. I ask for your vote.

Finally, I want to reinvent our state government and make it work right, by demanding that it perform and meet our needs in a timely and efficient manner.

After the national embarrassment our state has received due to the recent activities of the legislature, I believe it is time for change. Since Democrats and Republicans have shown an inability to get the job done, it is time for a third party alternative. I believe that applying the Libertarian principles of freedom and choice would greatly benefit my district and state. As your state senator, I would uphold the protection of social and economic freedom. That means encouraging scientific advances, such as those that would come from stem cell research. That means using economic incentives to lure major businesses to Arizona so that our economy is no longer dependent on growth alone. That means ending the expensive and pointless wars on drugs and immigrants. That means supporting a citizen’s right to gun ownership and a woman’s right to choose. That means not using the government as a tool to redistribute wealth. Vote for freedom and choice. There IS a better option.

David Schapira Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.DavidforAZ.com David Schapira is an Arizona native, educator, smallbusiness owner, husband and father who is invested in the future of our state. Schapira is also “a legislator known for working across party lines” according to The Arizona Republic, which named him one of six “lawmakers who made a difference.” We need more leaders like David Schapira who can break the partisan gridlock and get things done. As someone who has seen the needs of our schools firsthand as a high school teacher and ASU instructor, Schapira’s focus is on improving student learning. We must reduce class sizes, attract and retain the best teachers and support ASU’s educational and research priorities. Improving education will prepare Arizonans for better jobs, decrease dependency on state services and reduce crime. The current leadership has misplaced priorities, failing to provide for Arizona’s future. The federal government and the Legislature have failed to implement real immigration reform. Legislative leaders have moved our state in the wrong direction on education. The people in power have neglected Arizona’s ailing economy. It’s time for a change! We need new leadership in the State Senate. Vote for David Schapira to send a strong voice for our community to the State Capitol.

Arizona needs lower taxes and better spending controls to right our economy. Not more talk though that is the path the incumbent has taken these many years. Whether it's boots on the ground with law enforcement or teachers in the classroom, we need to direct spending to where it matters, not administrators and bureaucracy. A balanced budget is a constitutional requirement, yet the Legislature, and particularly the incumbent, has regarded it as little more than a speed bump. The state must live within its means, just as every Arizona family must. I've been active in many grassroots political organizations defending freedom and liberty. I am one of the original organizers for CameraFraud, the citizen's effort to remove the photo speed cameras, an effort needed solely because the legislature has failed to do what's right. It's these abilities to organize and lead that I'll bring to the legislature. Both sides have made promises and failed to deliver on those promises. I will carry through. It is the constituents of LD18 that matter. Not special interests as represented by the incumbent.

Robert McDonald Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: mcdonaldforazsenate.com Dear Friends, Over the last six years we have been witnessed to the greatest abuse of our government in the history of our state. We have seen the greatest reduction in services rendered to our citizens from education to medical assistance. We have seen the ultrarich and big corporations reap tax breaks that do nothing to help Arizona. As a native of Arizona, I have seen Arizona at its greatest and at its worst. Our education system, our tax system and general health of our state need to be reformed. We need new ideas and people to take our state on a new direction, because the current way we do business does not work for the citizens of Arizona. My ideas include fully funding our education system, coming up with new revenue streams and changing our paradigm on how we do state business and taxes. We need to reform our public safety infrastructure from police to the courts and our prison system by reviewing it top to bottom. This is why I have chosen to run for the Arizona State Senate. Please help me take back our without ideology so that we can do the people’s business. Thank You.

Russell Pearce Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.russellpearce.com As author of the toughest antiillegal immigration law in America, SB1070, I’m asking you to join me in standing up to Obama/Pelosi/Reid and take back America. We sent a message that after decades of Washington doing nothing to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into the United States; we must get the job done ourselves. When my bill was signed into law we triggered a conservative tsunami that started here and was felt, rocking the liberal establishment, all the way to Washington, DC! But we still have much work to do. We have to keep bringing our state budget under control and we need to get our economy growing again to create the jobs we need for our citizens. If you are new to this district, I want you to know that I strongly support marriage between a man and a woman, I favor ending Affirmative Action, racial quotas and hiring preferences by the state, I strongly support quality education & school choice, and I oppose judicial activism. I love the founding traditions of this country, the story of its birth, our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution and will fight to preserve those principles.

In a state with excellent universities and community colleges, Arizona schooling ranked 50th in the country. I will work to support studentspecific education. I propose a scholarship program to reach students who are still developing. I feel compelled to create mentorship programs which will act as social switchboards for those who are unaware of the available resources, and consequently unable to access them. Mesa needs more business. To support that goal I will propose a student entrepreneur program. We need to clean up and build up downtown to provide a social environment to attract retail customers. Infrastructure means public services and public resources. Infrastructure is critical to the quality of life and commerce. In addition to supporting police and fire services, I will work for sensible regulation and enforcement of codes that ensure our safety. I recognize when many people are at risk, quality and regularity of public transit is crucial to economic stability. I will work to capture funding and provide sensible budgeting for these goals. We want people to shop and live in Mesa. Vote and help me get started.

The overwhelming answer is Rich Crandall. As a State Representative the last 4 years, Rich has fought hard for Arizona's families. He has worked to ensure our children have a quality education, for better paying jobs and safer neighborhoods including securing our border. Rich supported SB 1070 and other immigration reforms that protect Arizona and its citizens. Through his leadership as Chairman of the House Education Committee, Arizona passed critical reforms including 3rd grade reading proficiency, reduction of dropout rates, and continuation of important programs like EVIT. In 2009 he was voted "Legislator of the Year" by Arizona Parents for Education (www.thankyourichcrandall.com). Rich has worked to keep Arizona business friendly and competitive. He believes that job creation is key to leading this state toward economic recovery. He's a proponent of tax cuts, and will continue to fight for more government efficiency, and to cut wasteful spending. He has a proven conservative record and a perfect voting record on 2nd amendment rights and protecting the unborn. Visit www.richcrandall.com to learn more.

James Molina Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.jamesmolina.com It is nothing new to have moderate politicians attempt election year makeovers and campaign as conservatives. Still, as a firsttime candidate, it has been unnerving watching my opponent do just that. I was encouraged to run by our current State Senator Chuck Gray, a great conservative. Like many active Republicans in our district, Sen. Gray was concerned that Rich Crandall would try to fill his seat with his centerleft voting record which is not what our district needs. Most voters didn’t know much about Rich until the newspapers wrote stories about how he missed twothirds of his votes and then claimed it wasn’t an important part of the job. His actual voting record isn’t much better. So I’m running to offer voters in LD19 a conservative alternative. I'm a protaxpayer, profamily, pro2nd Amendment, prosecure borders candidate who is supported by conservative leaders like Hon. Rusty Bowers, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Senator Russell Pearce (author of SB1070 who had to pressure Rich to vote the right way). I'm active in my community and church and a successful small businessman. While my opponent takes his marching orders from education unions, I will work for you, the families and taxpayers of our district.

During these times of economic unsteadiness, Arizonans need responsible experienced leadership now more than ever, which is why I humbly ask that you support my candidacy for the Arizona State Senate.

It is my sincere honor to represent you in the Senate. As Assistant Democrat Leader, I have earned the endorsement of the Arizona Education Association, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, Sierra Club, NRA, and AFSCME. Children’s Action Alliance rated me a 100% for my work promoting children’s issues. I volunteer on Boards for CAAFA/domestic violence prevention, Head Start, Central Arizona College and Rural Health Association. Arizona still faces a huge budget deficit. Working Arizona families should not be taxed to fix the shortfall. There are billions of dollars in Corporate tax loopholes that need to be closed. Hundreds of millions of dollars in tax credit giveaways need to be eliminated. AZ should not rank dead last in education funding, our children deserve better, as do the businesses we need to attract to AZ. Immigration reform needs to happen. I have sponsored and supported legislation to demand employer sanctions, and to increase the penalties and enforcement of human smuggling, and drug cartels. The protection of Arizonans is crucial.

As a member of the NRA, I am an ardent supporter of the second amendment and limited government. I am proud to have the endorsements of leaders like State Senator Russell Pearce (author of SB 1070) and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. They share my position that we must solve our illegal immigration problem and finally secure our border. If elected, my primary goal would be to stop all state funding of illegal aliens. This single piece of legislation would essentially correct Arizona’s skyrocketing budget deficit WITHOUT a tax increase or layoffs of state employees. This, along with reducing taxes and regulations on individuals and businesses, will restore our economy and create jobs. Let’s stop electing career politicians who care more about their campaigning than about the people! Arizona deserves a true patriot who is willing to fight for its ideals, its constitution, and its citizens, and that is me. I ask for your vote.

Jack Kretzer Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: The state of Arizona needs better leadership. For years Arizona’s legislature and governor have had a contest to spend revenues without any regard to the consequences of the possibility of a "great recession''. In the last two years these ‘spendthrifts’ have employed every gimmick and looted every fund to avoid making the hard decisions to reduce spending. Unless we cut spending, the passage of Prop 100 will do little more than put off the "day of reckoning". The two party system has created and sustained the problems visited upon the citizens of Arizona and our nation. The 2010 election cycle presents a chance to reject the ‘status quo’ and begin meaningful reform. Jack Kretzer is a retired professional engineer and manager with broad experience in local, county, and state government. To have better representation, and be kept informed about the legislature’s activities, break the stranglehold of the twoparty system.

Craig Smith Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.ElectCraigSmith.org State Senators must be mindful of the problems and priorities of constituents in their district but also concerned with the whole state. They must at once be both a leader and a follower. Libertarian Republicans like me work for smaller government, lower taxes and more personal freedom. Lawmakers frequently ignore the rights of individual citizens as guaranteed in the U.S. and Arizona Constitution when considering legislation but I won‘t. I served in the U.S. Army for 20 years (retired Master Sergeant). I have a Master's Degree in Public Administration, emphasis on Organizational Change and Development. I will work diligently and creatively with my colleagues in the Senate and House, to curtail further expansion of government and intrusion into our lives. We should encourage more entrepreneurial activity in Arizona, not by creating more programs, but by removing governmentcreated obstacles to startup and rapid growth of small businesses. I want to simplify the process of raising capital in Arizona. I ask for your vote. Contribute time and money as you can so that you will be represented by a Senator that really believes in the classic principles of Republicanism.

Without great public schools, businesses and the jobs they bring will overlook Arizona. Despite this fact, my opponent has voted against public education 100% of the time. We must reenergize our economy using Arizona’s greatest strengths: plentiful sunlight and our universities. Encouraging public/private research dollars for our universities will help develop new business opportunities for Arizona. Our tax code must be overhauled. We are a fragile desert community and must consider water and good stewardship of our environment in everything we do. I oppose my opponent’s plan to base Arizona’s future on nuclear waste storage and energy. I ask for your vote. Thank you. www.CageforAZSenate.com

Al Melvin Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.senatormelvin.com In my first term, we reduced state spending by more than $2 Billion (20% of the General Fund Budget), while keeping reductions to K12 education to the minimum. It is not true that we drastically reduced K12 funding. Per pupil overall funding was reduced $500 from $9,700 to $9,200, a 5% decrease. As a teacher myself, I worked hard to keep K12 reductions to a minimum. I will continue to work to secure the border (SB1070); have world class education in Arizona; have the best tax environment possible; secure plentiful and affordable water (through desalination) and electricity (through atomic power) augmented by solar. I will also continue to pursue a ban on texting while driving to save lives. Another goal is No Kill animal shelters by 2020 through private funding. I will continue my efforts to use inmate labor to clean up our highways and reopen currently closed rest stops. As your state senator, I will continue to do everything I can to protect the families and taxpayers of this district, to boost our economy to create jobs and a business friendly climate. Thank you for your past support and for your vote in November. Please check out www.senatormelvin.com.

From the beginning, I have been a strong voice for Tucson at the Legislature. I have fought hard against the intrusion into our private lives by the ultraconservatives and successfully stopped their attempt to limit single people’s ability to adopt. I also worked hard to stop the payday loan industry from circumventing the will of the voters. Those successes came from building alliances with Republicans. Having earned the respect of my colleagues, I am honored to have been voted one of the most effective Democratic Senators. Having experienced true bipartisanship 3 years ago when I helped negotiate Arizona’s budget, our state is out of balance today with a Republican Legislature and Governor. Arizona needs to counterbalance itself by changing the ruling party for the Governorship. Bring back the balance. Vote for the change in Arizona that we all want. Then, I ask for your vote to send me back to restore Arizona’s funding for public education, seniors, women and children, to support working families, the environment and small businesses and to end discrimination.

Dear fellow Arizonans, Arizona faces a difficult financial crisis that we can’t cut or tax our way out of. To get out of this financial mess we must grow our way out. My opponents advocate for more taxes; I would rather create more jobs and more taxpayers to generate revenues. We must reform our archaic tax code to entice high wage industries to locate in Arizona. For me, the way to create more revenue is simple: Create more taxpayers, not more taxes.

Marian McClure Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: McClure2010.com In 2003, Marian McClure led the battle against payday loans. In spite of the huge amounts of money the lenders spent she continued the battle. Then in 2008, when the lenders tried deceiving the voters into letting them continue to operate she and others were there to inform the voters. The measure failed 60% to 40%. This year they tried to pass legislation to ensure they could stay in business but Marian and others and with your help were able to stop them. Just as she did while in the Legislature, Marian fully supports all efforts including SB 1070 that will help stop the flow of illegal immigrants into Arizona. Marian voted to curb illegal immigrants while serving the people of LD 30. Marian passed laws that made a positive difference in the lives of Arizonians. One such law prevented the courts from continuing to go back more than three (3) years to collect delinquent fines. How many years should one keep proof of payment? The voters in District 30 value Marian’s honesty and integrity. They know she will work and she will get the job done. Please vote for Marian McClure on August 24,2010.

Tom Chabin Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Arizona's budget crisis has affected all aspects of our lives. The loss of teachers due to budget cuts has increased class sizes and eliminated some vital programs such as music and art. As a former school board member, I know the impact that education has on developing a secure future for Arizona. Cuts to programs can't resolve all of our budget problems. Though I supported the temporary increase in the state sales tax, that alone will not plug all the holes. I believe in broadening the sales tax base to tax services which most Arizonans cannot afford such as dog grooming and spa treatments. As your representative, I fought legislative actions which shifted tax burdens from state government to local and county governments. I have been a county supervisor; I know the effect those shifts have on essential services at the local level. Partisan politics has long been the norm in Arizona. It is time to break down party barriers and work together to resolve the issues that face this state. Please vote for Tom Chabin. Work with me to help restore Arizona as the place where we want to live, work and raise our families.

We have alot of issues facing our State, the most significant ones being the budget and illegal immigration. I believe if we handle the illegal immigration problem, that will handle some of the budget woes. I support Senate Bill 1070 but I would like to take it a step further. Arizona passed a law making us an Englishonly state. Why is it we are spending money printing materials in another language? I will fight diligently to see to it that everything will be done in English only. It is not up to the taxpayers of this great State to pay for interpretation. We also need to inform the voters that Proposition 204 needs to be repealed. That would save the taxpayers another billion dollars a year. There are many more important issues to address. These are just a few. If you want somebody that has your best interests at heart, then I look forward to your vote as your new State Representative for District 3. Vote Ray Cullison II on August 24, 2010.

Doris Goodale Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: As your State Representative I will continue my commitment to keep our families strong, our communities safe and Arizona prosperous again. A balanced budget is required. Tax increases prolong the problem and inhibit economic recovery. We must set priorities and live within our means. Across the board cuts are not the answer. It’s time to evaluate the role of government then “right size” and “modernize”. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! The fastest way to a balanced and sustainable budget is stimulating new capital investment. I sponsored legislation which would make Arizona competitive for retaining existing jobs, creating new jobs and stimulating investment. Individuals and businesses must be freed from unnecessary laws and regulations which inhibit personal responsibility and business growth. Billions of Arizona tax dollars go to educate, medicate and incarcerate illegal immigrants. The border with Mexico must be secured: Illegal immigration and the human tragedies associated with it must end. “Reelect Doris Goodale and I will continue efforts to right size government, improve border security, fight unnecessary government regulation, protect individual and states rights and defend local control. I will continue to work with local officials and citizens to solve community problems.” Doris Goodale… A conservative leader for rural Arizona.

When I first ran for office, I promised to fight for real immigration reform, oppose new taxes, and defend limited government, property rights, the right to own and carry firearms, and traditional family values. I have kept those promises. I have consistently voted for comprehensive border security plans and measures that would allow local law enforcement to arrest and detain illegal aliens (including the recent SB1070 that President Obama opposes and probably still has not read). I have supported efforts to ease our property tax burden, and I continue to work for a balanced budget. It is frustrating to be dealing with the deficits that our former governor has left us with, but I have and will continue to use this opportunity to trim fat from our overfed government. I am proud of the support I have gotten from Tea Party and Taxpayer groups, and the awards from conservative groups. I thank all of you for your past support and ask for your vote so I may continue to work hard, defending and advancing our Republican principles like state sovereignty and a free market health care system.

But never before has our state faced such turmoil. Never has there been a greater need for accountability from our elected officials. The current economic downturn has hit us all hard, but our most vulnerable citizens have fewer options than most. I understand that recovery lies in a strong economy. We can take actions that will get Arizona back on its historic path of growth, innovation and compassion. We must never lose faith that there are realistic and humane solutions. Arizona is uniquely positioned to take the lead in producing clean energy both solar and wind. As a businesswoman, financial advisor, educator, wife and proud mother of four, I have learned the tremendous importance of negotiation and teamwork to achieve goals.

Jack Harper Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.HarperForArizona.com As a soldier in the US Army, I served in West Germany in the First Infantry Division during the Cold War. Freedom broke out around Europe because of Ronald Reagan and the American resolve. I am the only candidate running for the Legislature in District Four that is a veteran. As a State Senator, I was among the most fiscally and socially conservative Republicans in the Legislature. I was instrumental in referring the Marriage Amendment to the ballot in 2008 and have cut billions of dollars in taxes so government would be contained. I believe Republicans should elect the most conservative candidate in their primary elections because it only takes a few bad Republicans to side with the Democrats and cause great deficits. If you want a gauge of what I will do in the House, look at my record in the Senate: A+ with the NRA; A on strict Constitutional Government; Champion of the Taxpayer with the Americans for Prosperity; Friend of the Family with Christian groups; and most significantly, I kept my promise to not raise your taxes. I have NEVER supported a net tax increase, only a net tax cut! [email protected]

Chester Crandell Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: I believe government exists to protect our Godgiven rights. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were enshrined in our United States Constitution and were the foundation that our founding fathers used as they worked to establish the most perfect form of government the world has ever known. Because I feel the state has been moving from protecting our God given rights to limiting them through bigger central government, more government regulations and higher taxes, I have decided to run for the State Legislature. As a state legislator, I will propose and vote for legislation that reduces government regulations and shifts power to local governments. I will work with my fellow legislators to create a budgeting system that will balance without the use of gimmicks (education rollovers, etc). And I will fight to develop a budget process that is based on our real and known revenues, with a sufficient rainy day fund, and the reforms we need to encourage job creation and economic growth for Arizona. I will also work to protect our state sovereignty from our evergrowing federal government.

My legislative goals and priorities are simple. First we must elevate Education funding to a top priority. Second we must look past our next economic boom and plan for a sustainable fix that works in bad times as well as good. And to accomplish these efforts we must employ civility and respect as vital tools for finding solutions. Please help me to help you by supporting my bid to serve in the Arizona Legislature.

Prescott Winslow Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.winslowazhouse.com As a professional career and employment counselor, I know from firsthand experience that education and wellpaying jobs are joined at the hip. If our state is to grow and attract high skill/highwage jobs, we must increase investments in our public education system at all levels: K12 schools, community colleges, state universities, adult basic education, and worker training and retraining. A thriving, diversified economy with prosperous individuals and businesses will, in turn, generate the sustainable state revenues that will allow us to continue making appropriate investments in our public education system and other core state services. A robust tourism industry is essential to the economic health of rural Arizona communities. The next Legislature must immediately identify a sustainable funding source so that we can reopen and keep open all of our state parks and highway rest areas. Arizona’s “welcome mat” creates thousands of tourismdependent jobs all over the state and sustains the livelihoods of thousands of small business owners. The next Legislature must also end the practice of raiding the counties’ and cities’ share of state revenues. This practice merely shifts the tax burden to local citizens and does nothing to solve the underlying structural state budget deficit.

We can continue to flounder, with some of the most poorly performing schools in the country, and a stagnant economy. Or we can embrace the future, put our boots on, and start that uphill hike.

When I served in Afghanistan my job was to work with the local tribal leaders and Afghan government to build strong relationships,in order to influence them to work with the Coalition. I believe that experience in Afghanistan will be crucial in the State House, in order to get Republican platform ideals passed into law. Additionally, I am an Executive with Target Corporation in which I lead a diverse team to accomplish daily goals in a highly efficient business climate. I hope that I am given the opportunity to represent you, I ask for your vote August 24! Steve

My military, business, and community service background have prepared me to represent the conservative values of the taxpayers in District 6. I will work in partnership with public and private interests to put Arizona back on track for economic growth and job creation. As a leader in the business community, I have a vision and a plan that includes phasing out income taxes to reward your hard work and to create more jobs; positioning Arizona as one of the top states to start, locate, and grow a business; reducing the size and increasing the efficiency of government; strengthening our education system in order to prepare our children for the jobs of the future; and protecting our citizens and taxpayers by increasing border security, and stopping taxpayer funded services for those here illegally. I support protecting life and personal freedoms. We can no longer afford the offensive partisan politics that serve only to divide us as citizens and distract us from protecting taxpayer interests. District 6 deserves professional representation and I would be honored to work on your behalf.

I believe in fiscal responsibility. I believe in the reduction of government. These are the principles that will guide me as your elected official.

My priorities include: creating job opportunities and promoting economic development; reducing government burden on small business; fighting illegal immigration; and providing excellent constituent services to the residents of District 6. In February, I had the great honor of being appointed by the Maricopa Board of Supervisors to represent LD 6 in the Arizona House of Representatives. I’m now running for a full term, and with your vote I can continue to be an effective voice for you at the State Capitol.

Rick Robinson Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Electrickld6.com The loss of Clean Elections is indicative of a serious problem, big government. Thus, issues such as immigration, tax cuts, economic development, reducing the size of government, making government more transparent/efficient, protecting small business, family stability, education and alternative energy become moot. Now it's about who has the money to buy an election so that your interests become secondary to the well funded special interest groups. I have spent the past 10 years as a community volunteer representing the only special interests I consider relevant, neighborhoods. Together we have accomplishments that surpass the interests of big government and big business, including Donald Trump. Now we must do it again as this situation is no different. I have spent the better part of my campaign polling you for your views on various important issues. The most important, I mentioned above. I intend to continue to be your voice on these issues in our State. You deserve the ability to elect people who have proven their commitment to your concerns without the influence of special interest groups. You know my 10 year track record and experience. Make a difference, defeat the special interest groups and elect a real person. Rick Robinson.

And like so many other freshmen legislators, I was elected to fix a $1 Billion deficit that turned out to be a nearly $3 Billion deficit. But we went to work and got after the problem. We cut record amounts of spending and passed important reforms. Throughout my first term I have remained true to my campaign promises and I have been a very reliable conservative vote, protecting taxpayers and families. I have voted to fight illegal immigration (SB1070), expand our 2nd Amendment rights, and improve school choice programs. Earlier this year, Crump and Gorman both resigned to run for John Shadegg’s Congressional seat, and David Braswell and Amanda Reeve were appointed to fill their seats. My seatmates and I disagreed on Governor Brewer’s $3 Billion sales tax increase (I OPPOSED IT!), but we didn’t let our ideological differences become a problem. As promised, I was 100% prolife, profamily, progun owner and protaxpayer. If you appreciate my consistently conservative voice, I ask for your vote so that I can return and continue to represent the conservative values that make our Party great.

I believe ‘I get it’ and that’s why district 7 voters should vote for me, Craig Barton, for state representative. I have the vigilance, moral drive and experience to be effective. I’m a conservative professor with a doctorate in educational leadership. I have a solid background in business having owned valley private and public charter schools.

Kristen Burroughs Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.burroughs2010.com I’m a reformer. I want to reduce and flatten our personal and corporate income tax so that Arizonans can compete with neighboring states. Until our tax system is fixed, our state will remain in the doldrums. We need jobs. Now. So, I will strive to get rid of burdensome regulations on businesses that are slowing our economic recovery. My priority is to make the government smaller, less intrusive and utterly transparent. I will also heartily support state efforts to secure our own border including building an impermeable wall. An educator, I have a PhD in history from the University of Chicago and an MA in philosophy from Yale University – I have taught in a home school, private school, college and university. I care deeply that our children and college students receive a firstclass education whether in public, private, charter, or distance schools, and will strive to pass legislation that increases educational options. Furthermore, I will work to get rid of unnecessary bureaucrats in public education and let teacher salaries rise accordingly. I love this beautiful state and want to make it a better place for all of us. Please vote for Kristen Burroughs.

Heather Carter Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: http://voteheathercarter.com VOTE Heather Carter! I am a Republican educator who is probusiness. My message is simple: strong schools/strong economy. However, we must first solve the immediate budget problems facing our state. I will work relentlessly to balance the budget and make our state government lean and efficient. Next, we need to craft a plan for our state that attracts new jobs to Arizona, while simultaneously supporting those businesses that are already here. Finally, I will work to improve education in Arizona. My professional life is dedicated to Arizona schools, both in the K12 sector and at the university level. Given that a large portion of the general fund supports education, it is ideal to elect someone to the legislature that understands our system. I have lived in Arizona for over 20 years. I am a graduate of our Arizona university system (undergraduate, masters and doctorate). I am a clinical associate professor working to prepare teachers and leaders at ASU. I was a 7th grade teacher in our Arizona K12 schools. I have been both a realtor and sales executive in Arizona. But most importantly, I am a mom, wife and daughter of an Arizona family and I am proud to run for the Arizona House of Representatives.

We have two children, Schyler and Joshua. I am a registered professional engineer who has helped communities improve their water resources for over 35 years. I believe that the 2010 state legislative election in Arizona is extremely important. If you have often disagreed with the approach of extremists in one party or the other, now is the time to look at candidates in all parties who will work across party lines for the best solutions to the issues that we face. I am committed to doing this. One such issue is balancing the budget. As the economy improves, revenues to the State will increase. I believe a future budget crisis can be avoided by resisting a kneejerk reaction to fund agencies at prerecession levels and objectively evaluating where funds will do the most good. I believe that our State government needs to live within its means and that a rainy day fund needs to be reestablished. Improving our education system is also a priority. I believe that we can do this through adequate funding and by demanding accountability from our schools.

Michael Edward Farrar Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.votefarrar.com "Elect a Businessman, Not a Career Politician." As a member of NFIB, I strongly believe we need a more probusiness legislature that supports business incentives, and lower taxes. I believe we need to reduce regulations not increase them. I support the Florida approach to educational reform. Florida spends less per dollar of personal income than Arizona, yet they outscore the statewide average for all Arizona kids. I believe:• Regular testing and assessment of progress matters. Gauging teachers by the progress their students make is essential. • Paying excellent teachers professional salaries and gradually increasing their control over the school environment is critical. Reform works. We need to flatten more than just state government, we need to find ways to flatten the educational structure with multiple school districts, and high administrative costs. I believe we need to limit spending increases in government to reasonable factors such as growth and inflation. We also need to review policies that drive spending such as mandates in areas of education, healthcare, and incarceration. I am a supporter of the second amendment, and NRA member. I support Arizonans for Health Care Freedom. I support the prolife movement. I am a strong supporter of SB 1070 and believe we need to secure our borders now.

Government has impacted our economy in ways that have left us with debt that can never be paid back. Our youngest citizens will inherit a legacy of over spending, costly energy and reduced liberty. Change is difficult and not guaranteed. It comes down to you. Would you be willing to give up your favorite government program for a brighter future? Perhaps something that you benefit from, to ensure our next generation has a better chance. I intend to be a voice of reason inside the state legislature. My campaign is the only independent choice in district 7, rejecting the partisan politics of destruction and towards a government were each citizen is respected. Special interest groups will not set the agenda. House leadership will not have a stranglehold on my office as I do not answer to the major political parties. Work with me in transforming Arizona into a place you proudly call home. Let’s break the party cronyism with an independent viewpoint.

Peter Royers Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.Royers2010.com I am a husband, father, Arizona military veteran, former business owner and retired State of Arizona auditor and technology administrator. I have a plan to restore transparency, accountability and trust in our government. I think most Arizonans want a state that offers an excellent education for its children, promotes growth and jobs, supports public safety, protects our borders, and makes sound decisions about healthcare. Where Arizonans differ widely is how to achieve what we know we want. Most of us have felt the frustration with our state government as they cut taxes without addressing budget shortfalls, enact legislation with loopholes favoring special interests, and for too long, mismanaged the State Government such that, by any measure, has kept Arizona from moving forward. When elected, I will work hard to represent you. I promise to work across the aisle, regardless of party, read every bill, initiate sensible changes, and regularly communicate to my District about significant laws being passed and what they mean to you and your family. I am participating in Clean Elections to say “No” to contributors looking for a sweetheart deal or special favors. We can do better! I hope I can get your support on August 24.

David Smith Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: I am running for the House of Representatives in District 7. You will have an opportunity to elect two new representatives this year. I am the most conservative of the entire group and have the endorsement of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He states “With our state in crisis, and our budget out of balance, we need to elect a Republican who will get Arizona back on track.” I have a proven record of fighting for the tax payers. I was elected to the legislature in 2004. I am asking for your vote so that I may return to the Capitol and balance the budget, cut taxes and improve education Arizona. While in the legislature I was “friend to the tax payer”, “friend of the family”, and had an “A” NRA rating. Russell Pierce has endorsed me because I support his efforts to control the illegal immigrants coming into this state. I will not support amnesty. This state needs to reduce the sales tax and property taxes so and encourage new businesses to come to Arizona. I ask for your vote for a new conservative voice in the legislature.

It should be the top priority of the next legislature to address the job situation by implementing economic growth strategies that will attract and retain private sector investment and employment. As a business owner for almost 30 years, I bring the knowledge and experience to evaluate proposals and determine their impact on the business community and the general public. As a pharmacist, I am trained to work efficiently and with positive outcomes as the ultimate goal. As your state representative, I will work tirelessly to promote policies and programs that make Arizona a great place to live and conduct business. The current economic situation provides the perfect time to fundamentally reform government. Governmental agencies must remember that they are not entitled to taxpayer dollars, and that they must be transparent and accountable. With the right policies Arizona can become a leader in alternative energy production and component manufacture, biotech research and development and water resource conservation. All of these industries bring jobs. Please vote for Michael Blaire. I will serve the people of Arizona with experience, energy and integrity.

John Kavanagh Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.votekavanagh.com I am running for reelection as your state representative to continue my efforts to make state government leaner and more efficient in these difficult economic times. During my last two terms, I won numerous awards, including the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers “Friend of the Taxpayer Award” and the Arizona Parents for Education “Golden Apple Award.” I am a proponent of limited government and an ardent foe of illegal immigration. I cosponsored and helped write Arizona’s new antiillegal immigration law and have defended it on most major national news shows, including FOX, CNN and MSNBC. I wrote the law requiring school districts to fingerprint and background check contract employees to protect our children and I also passed the law preventing criminals from suing victims. As chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, I have the knowledge and determination to make the cuts in spending necessary to get Arizona through this fiscal crisis and as a retired police detective sergeant I know how to combat crime and illegal immigration. I ask for your vote so that I may continue to save the taxpayers’ money, improve education, fight illegal immigration, protect Arizona’s limited water supply and offer common sense solutions to Arizona’s other problems.

John Kriekard Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.electkriekard.com After 37 years in public education, including serving as an administrator in the Scottsdale School District, I retired in June 2009 as the superintendent of the Paradise Valley School District. Under my leadership, PVUSD implemented a longrange plan, increased teachers’ salaries and professionalism, and dramatically improved student achievement. As the head of one of Arizona’s larger employers, I also initiated innovative programs that created jobs and successfully balanced each year’s budget. Of the many issues important to Arizonans, the three I believe are critical to moving Arizona forward are education, strengthening our economy to create jobs, and sustainability of resources. Education is the foundation of Arizona’s current and future success. Additionally, businesses will come where there are good schools. The two are explicitly entwined and reinforce each other. We must aggressively improve our educational system and our economy, as well as establish an environment that expands use of renewable energy sources while better balancing those that are more finite. The ability to bring people together to work together, to come to consensus, to truly lead is sorely needed at our state legislature. We must have legislators who plan for the future collaboratively, and my experience as an educational leader prepares me well for that role.

As a family man and father of three children, I know how challenging it can be to live within your means and maintain a responsible, balanced budget.

We believed Arizona would provide a better economic and social climate in which to raise a family, and we have loved our adopted state ever since. Yet over the last eight years, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in state spending that has put us at the brink of economic disaster. So it is time for ordinary citizens to step up and take back our government. We MUST balance our budget, reduce taxes and burdensome regulations, and create new private sector jobs. Six years ago I saw similar problems in my local school board, so I got involved and got elected. Since then I have saved millions for taxpayers while we have increased the dollars flowing to the classroom instead of to administrators. I’ll bring that PROVEN CONSERVATIVE RECORD to the Legislature. I am endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Senator Russell Pearce (author of SB1070 to fight illegal immigration), and a host of other conservatives. I am prolife, profamily, protaxpayer, prosecure borders, and proud to be supported by Tea Party patriots and Republicans alike. I ask for your vote!

I want to do what I can to improve our State for all families, and make Arizona a wonderful place in which to live, get an education, raise a family, work, play, as well as enjoy retirement. We need to recover from the current economic crisis and restore integrity to government. Good healthcare should be available for all Arizonans. Our primary focus for our State’s future in the global economy should be to invest in our children’s schools so that they can succeed, and grow into welleducated, healthy, capable, productive citizens. We should review tax credits and the tax codes to ensure fairness to families and businesses, as well as establish partnerships with local governments to reopen revenuegenerating State parks, and restore the welcome sign for visitors.

I am also the treasurer of the Washington Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides grants to teachers and students, and a member of Support Our Schools AZ, a nonpartisan public education advocacy group. I believe in results and that the politics of today has become too partisan and not focused enough on problem solving. We need leadership at the capitol more than ever with the budget situation our state is presently dealing with. I believe the state legislature should be subject to open meeting laws so we can deal with our budget issues in the light of day. I believe that Republicans and Democrats should focus on issues where we can find common ground and develop a long term business plan to make our state better.

You may have rented equipment or had your mower repaired at my shops. Through the years I have been involved in Glendale Union High School District parent issues, coaching high school sports (soccer at Greenway and Glendale High),and my church. I was a teacher, and my wife and daughters are teachers. I am very sensitive to education issues. I believe that following the Constitution is crucial for good government. The Constitution was designed to take government off the backs of the people. Judges should not engage in judicial activism. The second amendment, not gun control laws, makes us safe, as there is no evidence that gun control laws prevent violence. When we make new laws they should solve problems, not create more. I support limited government and more individual rights. As your state representative I voted for SB1070, and I would vote for it again. I make it an important practice to listen to my constituents. You can reach me at [email protected]. I will be happy to come to your home and answer questions. Doug "Q" Quelland

James Weiers Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.jimweiers.com Arizona is at a crossroads. Either we can sit around wringing our hands and saying woe is me or we can become proactive as to where we’re at and where we want to go. To meet the challenges we face today, our legislators need to be courageous, innovative and respectful of those with differing opinions. I have tried to be that kind of legislator. Still, I am unapologetically conservative, with a strong record of cutting spending, fighting illegal immigration (I voted FOR SB1070 and unlike President Obama and his cabinet, I read the bill), and restoring our previously lost property and 2nd Amendment rights. I am prolife, profamily, and protaxpayer. It is my ultimate goal that you will come to believe that at least in our district, your representative is working hard on your behalf. I ask for your vote.

Among my top priorities: Balancing our state budget without adding to the tax burden of working families and businesses, and adopting limits on future spending so we never get in this mess again. Improving our K12 education system by moving tax dollars from the bureaucracy into the classroom, paying our best teachers more, and expanding choices for families. Lowering taxes and reducing regulations so that Arizona becomes the most business friendly state—not only attracting new businesses but nurturing existing ones, especially small businesses that are our economy’s backbone. Fighting for transparent and efficient government, public safety, and border security. Before moving to Arizona and starting a family, I worked for former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and Governor Rick Perry of Texas, which has generated more jobs in recent years than any other state. As a coupon clipping mom, I know the difference between a bargain and a boondoggle. I will commit my energy and experience to improve our economy, safeguard your tax dollars, and protect the future for our children. Thanks for considering me! Sincerely, Shawnna Bolick www.bolickforarizona.com

Kate Brophy McGee Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.katemcgee.com I was born into a ranching family in southern Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona while simultaneously holding fulltime employment, and became a community banker. Over the next ten years I progressed through the ranks, ending my career as a Vice President and senior commercial loan officer at a Phoenix bank with the birth of my first son. I became active in my children’s schools, and was elected to two terms as a school board member. While on the school board I was appointed by the governor to the Arizona School Facilities Board (ASFB), and subsequently reappointed as Chair of ASFB. It was an honor to serve. As a third generation Arizonan, I care deeply about the prosperity of our state. I am running because I believe Arizona can regain the ground it has lost the last few years with a balanced budget, smaller and more efficient government and tax reforms that ensure job creation. I will work hard to secure our borders and ensure immigration laws are enforced. Arizona can overcome its current challenges with strong legislative leadership. I believe that my experience and qualifications will make me a successful leader for the residents of District 11.

Bev Kraft Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: VOTE4BEVKRAFT2010.COM My experiences as a community member has proven effective leadership and directs me to becoming an elected state representative serving Arizona's District 11. The priority focus for Arizona is our economy. I will fight to get our economy back on the right track. A strong and viable business climate creates employment opportunities for all Arizonans. Taxes need to be fair and reasonable. Businesses are the backbone of Arizona's economy. The legislature needs to establish a wholesome business climate, which allows Arizona to become the choice for doing business in America. Legislators must eliminate unnecessary regulations that are overwhelming our small businesses. Legislators should do their job cutting spending, lowering taxes, and providing a strong and realistic state budget. Forcing voter approval for a bailout averting a state debt crisis is the old way of doing business. Arizona needs new leaders and new recipes for success. I am one of the new leaders, which has a track record of accomplishment and effective participation. My positions consist of 1) supporting prolife and traditional marriage, 2) securing our borders and immigration law enforcement, 3) supporting education for our public, private, and home schooling, and 4) defending 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms. www.vote4bevkraft2010.com

I worked on bipartisan solutions to address Arizona’s challenges and helped to pass laws that improved our schools and brought solar industry jobs to our state. Like many Arizonans, I am upset with the path that the legislature has taken. I did not support the deep cuts to public education, the accumulation of debt, or the elimination of KidsCare for 42,000 children. We had better choices to address our state’s economic crisis. If elected, I will use my degree in economics, background as a physician, and experience on the Scottsdale School Board to be a sensible voice at the legislature and to represent the residents of District 11. I promise to fight for highpaying jobs, quality schools, and safe neighborhoods. The future of Arizona is at stake. Having grown up here I am passionate about our state and committed to moving Arizona forward for my children and yours. I ask for your vote on November 2.

Dusti Morris Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.dustimorris.com Dusti Morris , an Arizona native, is a principled conservative and has lived in District 11 for most of her life. As your next State Representative, Dusti will bring a fresh perspective, experience as a small business owner and strong leadership background to the Arizona Capitol. Dusti understands how important sound economic policy and a streamlined tax structure are for creating jobs, stimulating growth for local companies and attracting new businesses to Arizona. To help Arizona’s fiscal situation, Dusti also advocates budgeting for no more than 90% of projected revenue. When conditions improve, any leftover funds can be reimbursed to hard working families, used to pay off federal debt and allocated to buy back the Capitol and legislative buildings. Dusti Morris believes illegal immigration is one of Arizona’s biggest problems and fully supports SB1070. Dusti’s immigration plan includes securing the border FIRST, denying welfare and other taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens and cracking down on drug and human smuggling. When it comes to education, Dusti advocates streamlining the budget and topheavy bureaucracy to ensure more money goes directly to the classroom, where it belongs. Help give Arizona the change it deserves: Vote Dusti Morris for State Representative on August 24.

The West Valley has been my home since my wedding day in 1991. I am running for office because Arizona is on the wrong track, and we will not be able to get back on the right track until we replace our current representatives in the Legislature. We should be focused on fostering a strong state economy and bringing good, highpaying jobs into our communities. We must ensure that our teachers have the resources they need to turn our children's dreams into reality. Our continuing education system must enable our workforce to adapt to meet the demands of a changing 21st century business environment. I am prepared to put the skills and work ethic that enabled me to obtain B.S. & B.A. degrees from the University of Texas, and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University, to work for you. I will use my experiences at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the UofA, ASU, and the Carl Sagan Center, to find real solutions for Arizona. Together, we can rededicate our state to the American ideal that everyone has a fundamental right to security, freedom, and opportunity.

As Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs and the leader in protecting Luke Air Force Base, he is a very capable mentor, which matters when you are in your first term and the state is facing its greatest financial challenge ever. I have learned a great deal, fought for you, and gotten some great legislation passed in the meantime. My transparency bill requires state and local governments to post all contracts and expenditures on the Internet so that every taxpayer can see where their money is going. I believe in transparency and am proud of this bill. I also cosponsored the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative that will be on the ballot this November to do away with racial preferences in government employment, education, and contracting. We passed major spending cuts while protecting education, passed SB1070 to help deter illegal aliens, and passed meaningful reforms to help protect human life, our 2nd Amendment rights, and the taxpayers in general. Please contact me at any time through my website or at the Legislature. I work for you, and your concerns are my concerns. Thank you for your support!

There is good news for Arizonans though. Thanks to gains made over the last few years,we now have one of the more conservative legislatures in the country,and we have finally been able to start turning things around. We cut more than $2 Billion in state spending, by far the largest cuts in Arizona history and we passed bills to restore our lost 2nd Amendment rights and improve school choice. You have likely read about SB1070 or seen it on TV, but it’s a good bill and a fair bill that gives local law enforcement the tools it has been asking for to win the fight against illegal immigration. I was proud to vote for it. You should also be proud of my seatmate, freshman legislator Steve Montenegro. He was very solid and got some great bills passed as well. And together we have worked to protect Luke Air Force Base and work to bring the F35 to the West Valley. There is more to do, but we’re working hard for you and this state.

As long as he holds office, Chad will continue working to improve our government. During this year's budget crisis, Chad was a voice of reason among the rhetoric and political games.

Debbie McCune Davis Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: As an elected Representative for District 14 my highest priority is to maintain a solid foundation through strong schools, economic equity, safe neighborhoods and a stable employment base. If the recession has taught us anything, it is the folly of relying on rampant growth as an economic strategy, placing a harsh spotlight on our failure to diversify the job market. The State Legislature must build upon recent efforts to encourage bioscience research and development and bring new employment opportunities in solar and other alternative forms of energy. District 14 is the beneficiary of these efforts at ASU’s Downtown Campus, the U of A’s Phoenix Medical Campus and at Grand Canyon University. Wise investment of public dollars coupled with private capital and commitment will benefit us all in the years to come. As Arizona approaches its Centennial, it is more important than ever that elected officials align our economic future with our unique natural and cultural assets. Our challenges are great, but history proves that we can build on resilience and innovation, as long as our foundation is strong. I respectfully ask for your vote to work for quality education and opportunity for hard working Arizonans and their families.

In order for positive change to occur we must change the focus and priorities of our legislature. I know that I have the experience to make positive change happen. During the 18 years I served in the state Senate, I fought for working families, small businesses, seniors and the disabled. I was instrumental in the launching of ASU West and Lela Alston Elementary School was named after me in recognition for the work I did for my community. I am a product of public education from kindergarten through graduate school and am a native Arizonan with roots grounded in our state’s history. My decision to run is an act of passion and concern, not a steppingstone to any other position, elected or otherwise. To build a stronger Arizona, we need legislators who can hit the ground running and understand what it means to negotiate, choose battles, find common ground and produce results. I have done it all before and I want to do it again for district 15.

Caroline B Condit Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: http://condit2010.blogspot.com I believe in living freely, caring for our fellow man, and taking responsibility for ourselves and our loved ones. Today, government has grown so large that it is actually frightening to its own citizens, and that is a terrible thing. We must shrink our government and return it to its legitimate purposes. Securing our borders, protecting our citizens from crime, and providing us with an environment where the free market can be allowed to flourish. In this largely Democrat district, some folks think I am crazy for running, given that I am a Republican. But the elected Democrats in our district have gotten to be so extreme that many of the Democrats I talk to in neighborhoods feel a real disconnect with the Party they used to know. Marching and parading around for leftwing causes when what we need are jobs and quality schools makes little sense when the economy is booming, and even less so in a recession. I’m not running to make headlines, I’m running to make things work and to make things better. I ask for your vote!

I love Arizona and want it to be a place where I can raise my family with confidence in the future we’re building for them. But right now, our state is being pushed down the wrong track. Governor Brewer and the Republican led legislature have utterly failed our state. Most significantly, they have played political games instead of fixing our longterm budget crisis. They have slashed over a billion dollars from education, forced the closure of state parks, dismantled the safety net for our most vulnerable citizens, have done nothing to create jobs, and in the process have made Arizona a laughingstock. I’m running for the legislature because I love Arizona and I want it to be a place we can all be proud to call home. I’m running because I share the values of my district and I will make sure those values are heard in the legislature. I’m running because Arizonans deserve real leadership with real solutions to the problems facing our state, and I will fight to get us back on track. Vote for Katie Hobbs for State Representative.

Paul Yoder Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: paul4azrep2010.com A native Phoenician, my goal is to leave a state to future Arizonans every bit as wonderful as the one I inherited. We can improve it in some ways, but we must preserve the open spaces and the personal freedoms it grants us. Anyone living in Arizona knows that our state government does not always work well. Partisan politics drives the agenda of too many of our elected officials and the entire state suffers for it. I ask for your vote so that we can streamline existing departments to make government more responsive and less intrusive. We need to improve our education system, taking advantage of the creativity of our teachers and removing the red tape and bureaucracy that hinders them. We must become more business friendly if we are to begin a real economic recovery; our first priority has to be creating jobs and ending our real estate crisis. I support efforts to secure our borders and the recently enacted SB1070. It has been disappointing to watch politicians play on people’s fears to gain political advantage. We need less politics and more leadership in government, and with your support I will deliver exactly that.

Ruben Gallego Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.gallegoforarizona.com My name is Ruben Gallego, and it is my honor to be running to represent LD 16 in the state house. During a time of economic crisis, polarizing politics has taken the legislature away from what should be its top priorities: quality education and quality jobs in Arizona. We need to invest in education by attracting and retaining the best teachers by increasing pay, reducing class sizes, promoting year round school, and raising our educational standards in math and science. To attract good jobs, Arizona must support projects that will create lasting opportunities. Examples include the Loop 202/South Mountain expansion, extending Light Rail to Central Avenue, and building the state’s largest solar field along the Rio Salado river bottom. These efforts will add to the state’s economic diversity, creating longterm jobs, and will help turn Arizona into the “Solar State.” From growing up poor and working my way through Harvard, to my service in Iraq as a Marine, and as a public servant working for Phoenix Vice Mayor Michael Nowakowski, I have learned the value of giving back to a community, state, and country that has given me so much.

I offer common sense, willingness to work, and an integrated conservative political philosophy to you for consideration. Not taxpayer funded, thank you for all support you contribute—prayer, funding, promoting, your vote. I promote through personal contact and informative rightonhawker.org a return to conservatism as a sensible antidote for the reckless, unconstitutional and immoral leftism that grips the federal government, and to which the district Planned Parenthood pandering perennial politicians demonstrably admire and aspire to, progressing ever upward. I don't believe engaging in the cycle of overspendingdeficitincreased taxation is a politician's birthright. We increasingly see the need for state legislators who are ready to compensate for federal policies which either overstep their constitutional boundaries or fail to execute the legitimate ones; to deal with the most pressing state priorities as opposed to frivolous legislation. Local Democrat candidates from congressman to state representative, who are desperately posing as "independent", have documented records, actions and statements that brand them with the audacity that has awakened the entire nation to the failed nature of liberalism and motivated it to dislodge entrenched stagnantquo incumbents. There is life after liberalism!

Gregor Knauer Party: Green Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: gregorknauer.com Arizona! We’re a pluralist state with unlimited opportunities for economic and social interpenetration. Cooperatively we can balance our budgets, and tax more equitably. We can develop jobs in infrastructure, energy, and fuel technology. We can and must fund public education to enhance a sense of community responsibility (in students and parents), and to foster conditions for health, small business ventures, and stewardship. Greens don’t have a track record like Democrats (1830’s), or Republicans (1860’s), but the future is now. (In the UK, the 1st Green Member of Parliament was just elected.) What I lack in experience, I make up for in my capacity for competence. Sincerity is a straight and sunlit path. These are Green guiding principles: participatory democracy; ecological and economic sustainability; civil rights and nonviolence. As a Green candidate, I finance my campaign with no corporate or union or any other organizational contributions. I am running for the statehouse from LD17 so that registered Greens and independents can vote without inhibition. It’s time to bring in the rookies. Serving in the legislature, the challenge will be to integrate my spiritual life with political work. I advocate frugality, fairness and oneness.

By the time I was elected, it had grown to more than $2 Billion. So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work, cutting more than $2 Billion in spendingthe largest spending cuts in Arizona’s history. We enacted reforms to increase transparency in government spending and to ensure that taxpayers could see where the money was going. We worked hard to protect spending on education and public safety. It was tough and the hard choices are not over, but we are putting Arizona’s state government on the road to solvency and we are trying to deal with the consequences of the runaway spending of the Napolitano years. We also passed a number of great bills at the same time, restoring 2nd Amendment rights for lawabiding citizens, passing good prolife legislation, and of course everyone is talking about our passage of SB1070 to give law enforcement the tools they need to help fight illegal immigration. Arizona has an effective, conservative Legislature, and I ask for your vote so that I can continue to work on your behalf.

Michael Conway Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.conwayforhouse.com Arizonans need urgent solutions for the critical problems we face: Arizona’s education funding ranks near the bottom nationally (US Census data); our budget is in crisis; and our partisan Legislature has been wasting time on issues that appeal to extremist agendas instead of working together to solve real problems facing real Arizona families. Polling shows that the vast majority of Arizonans disapprove of the job the Legislature is doing. We can't continue recycling the same politicians and expecting different results or improved performance. We need a new representative who puts sound ideas ahead of personal political ideology, with a track record of building coalitions that problemsolve successfully. We need someone who takes on issues in a professional manner and who understands the benefits of longterm planning over shortterm gain. We must build our future with worldclass educational opportunities for our children, sound fiscal management, economic diversification strategies, closing tax loopholes, and a new era of cooperation instead of petty politics. The issues facing Arizona are not Republican, Independent or Democratic. The issues affect each of us. Join me in writing this new chapter in Arizona's history. I need your vote. Together, we can get Arizona back on track. All aboard!

Steve Court Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Arizona is a great state with vast potential to grow and for all of its citizens to prosper. The key to unlocking that potential are our businesses, small and large. Government cannot and should not try to be the solution. Government can be an enabler to business success by putting in place good, competitive tax policy, and by the prudent use of regulation. In the coming legislative session Arizona needs to concentrate on economic development, putting into place policies that will encourage businesses that are here to grow, and to encourage new businesses to move here. We need to greatly diversify our economy with high paying jobs that will raise our standard of living and will provide a cushion to future economic downturns. Only through economic development can Arizona climb out of this recession, and our goal should be to have the tools in place that will allow us to lead the nation in this recovery. Economic growth and stability will provide Arizona with the revenues that it needs to provide for the safety of its citizens and the education of its children, without the need to raise taxes.

Linda Macias Party: Green Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Registered with the Democratic Party since I started voting – it was difficult seeing the party leave me. In 2006, as the war continued in Iraq and Congress left the White House unchecked, I became disillusioned. The party I considered to be the party for social reform, the party of diplomacy instead of war, the party for health care and electoral reform seemed now to be owned by corporations. Republicans and Democrats were being influenced by corporate lobbyists representing corporations more than serving the voters. The Citizens’ United Supreme Court decision will wreak havoc, now giving corporations more power than people. As a Green Party candidate, I represent the opportunity for voters to experience another point of view. I will take no corporate or union dollars for campaigns. Find a more economical and less cumbersome path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants looking for unfilled work their work and taxes will benefit Arizona. Fight to protect and fund public education, the ultimate future economic engine of Arizona.

Hard choices haven't been made, and the time has come for qualified community members to step up and work for our future. I have a vision for Arizona and I'm willing to work hard to make the future better for all of Arizona. I believe in "Common Sense" and I believe that government is often a hindrance to solving problems. For the times that government must be involved, government is best when it trusts people.

The legislature felt hamstrung due to a flurry of public approved initiatives that locked in required spending, making it nearly impossible for the legislature to close the budget gap. Sound familiar? Over the next six years, with a Democrat in the Governor's seat, and a Republican controlled legislature, as revenue increased so did spending at an astronomical rate of nearly 70%. The budget deficit has tripled despite record revenues. Almost a decade later, once again with a Republican Governor and legislature, we are facing the same problems with the same people. It is time to set a new course, embrace a new vision, and do so with someone who has had to persevere, as many of you, through the negative effects of the negligent decisions made by those who have not honored the role of stewardship they have be given. We must elect those who will put ego aside and work as a team. Voting for Brett Petillo is a vote for a servant leader and a true conservative in life not just in words.

I know the headaches of meeting budgets as well as the importance of an educated workforce, the dangers of illicit drug use, and the significance of our children's dreams to society's future. District 23 needs new voices and representation. Pinal County isn't receiving its share of state funds and we need more roads and infrastructure dollars. Our current legislatures seem to ignore the financial times we face and just ask for more taxes to spend rather than deal with fixing the budget. We need to secure our southern, border as the federal government is not, and we cannot wait. We must stop spending our limited resources providing health and education benefits to illegal immigrants. Arizona must work smarter and closer with the Native American communities to promote growth, education and opportunity. The AIMS test is now a farce and nobody is offering a replacement. I have one.

Tightening the State's fiscal belt and those of my business and family, while insuring each is poised for the rebound, has been challenging. However, the next two years will be even more challenging. The State budget, which can and must be further trimmed, is to the point where, if we're not careful, we'll soon be cutting into the muscle and sinew necessary to support future growth. There are no borrowing options remaining. We must now look to growth in the State's economy for the answer. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, my business background and experience can continue to serve you and our State well. Handinhand with economic growth is education. We need to prepare our youth for the jobs of the future, as well as the present. It goes without saying that Arizona has to fund education better if we're to have a competitive workforce. We must, at the same time, insist on accountability and efficiency from the system. To accomplish this, education funding has to be overhauled. The regulatory maze must be reduced and made more transparent and flexible.

Lynne Pancrazi Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: It has been an honor to serve the people of Arizona, and especially my constituents in District 24 for the last 4 years. My job at the legislature is not complete. Improving public education is the reason I ran for the legislature and it continues to be my top priority. As a public school teacher for 29 years, I know what works in the classroom and how to help our children learn. Improving education is more than just accountability, quality instruction, parental involvement and adequate facilities. Our schools need the resources and tools to help students compete in the 21st century. Over the last four years I have learned how important farming and ranching is to rural Arizona. Agriculture is the number one industry in my district. I plan to continue to work to maintain these vital industries in our state. Jobs are the key to Arizona’s recovery. Attracting new businesses and quality employers to our state needs to be a priority. Good jobs will help Arizona grow and prosper. My promise to you is simple. I will do my very best to represent my District at the State Capitol, and continue to fight for the needs of rural Arizona.

As a parent of two children, I believe in preparing our kids for the worldwide economy with a quality education right here in Arizona. And as a University of Arizona graduate, I know how important universities are to the future success of our children and our state's economy. I will make funding education and maintaining high standards a top priority. To increase the number of jobs in Arizona, we must bring the next generation of businesses to our state, like solar power and other emerging technologies that hold steady through economic ups and downs. To do that, we must encourage entrepreneurs and revise the tax code to level the playing field. I will work to reduce sales taxes across the board while closing loopholes and making big corporations and the rich pay their fair share. Finally, as a member of the Air Force, I was responsible for a nearly $1 million budget. As a steward of your money, I will not shrink from hard choices and I will insist that our state's laws support our industries and our service men and women.

Patricia Fleming Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.patflemingaz.com During my first year in office, I authored a bipartisan bill to allow Arizona veterans immediate qualification for instate tuition at our state colleges and universities. It is now law. As your state representative, I focus on commonsense solutions that solve problems. I regularly travel throughout this large, diverse district to make sure that I hear directly from you. What I’ve heard is that voters share some common concerns: that their representatives are honest, dependable and focused on solving our budget problems. My mantra is: fund the critical services like public education and public safety, end free rides in our tax code, and cut wasteful spending. I’m proud of my record as a fiscal conservative in the Legislature. And I’m proud of my record representing you: • Sponsored legislation to prohibit taxpayer money from going to businesses that outsource jobs;• Opposed massive budget cuts to our public schools and law enforcement; • Sponsored legislation to end unfunded state mandates to cities and towns;• Supported targeted funding to increase security and border inspection capacity at all ports of entry. Let’s work together to build a brighter future for Arizona families. I respectfully ask for your vote.

Peggy Judd Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.judd4house.blogspot.com I’m an experienced leader and organizer in community business, an architect, secretary for our family Real Estate Co, Rex Allen Days, Inc. President and Parks & Rec Commissioner for 10 years. Issues of interest to me are borders, spending and jobs. Our porous borders are endangering citizens and draining our coffers, as we provide for a growing number of illegals who do not even pay taxes. We can be good neighbors with Mexico by working with them, through an impenetrable border fence with clear points of entry. Growth in Arizona is over for now. We must go back to the "preboom" mentality and make hard decisions about where we spend tax revenues. We must eliminate the need for new taxes. Creating incentives and tax cuts will cause business owners to see Arizona as a place where they can make a new start, rather than where they took their "last stand". We must sacrifice to allow the growth of the business community and then more jobs will create a healthy tax and economic base. I look forward to serving you as well as generations to come. The future is in your hands and I am here to do your bidding.

David Stevens Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.davidstevens2010.com Six years of runaway spending during Janet Napolitano¹s reign as Governor and a burst housing bubble left Arizona with the worst deficit in its history. Napolitano bailed out and went to work for President Obama, but those of us who were elected in 2008 were left the task of cleaning up her mess. Fortunately, 2008 also elected one of the more conservative Legislatures in Arizona¹s history, and we have been hard at work, tackling the problems that she left us. With an eye on protecting critical services like public safety and education, we applied acrosstheboard spending reductions to offset the massive budget deficits. In two short years we reduced the size of state government by twenty percent and put Arizona back on the road to fiscal sanity. And the budget wasn¹t the only thing we worked on. We passed SB1070 to deal with illegal immigration, gave back 2nd Amendment rights that the government should never have taken in the first place, passed a transparency bill so that you can see where the money comes from and where it is going, and made a number of changes to help schools. I ask for your vote to continue this important work.

I spent my professional career, including time as a teacher, principal, and school superintendent, working to make educational opportunities available and meaningful for children in Arizona. I believe it is now time to share this expertise with the people of Arizona by running for the Legislature. I will work to return educational decisions to governing boards, parents, students, teachers and the local community. I will fight for Arizona’s right to make our own decisions, without interference from Washington D.C. Arizona has the right and responsibility to lead ourselves, create our own jobs, protect our citizenry and prosper. I believe I have the experience and education to create a vision. I have a proven ability to solve problems. Budgets must be designed to achieve goals. Goals must be developed with a plan to meet them. I managed large budgets, including building four schools, cutting class size and raising salaries by cutting administrative costs WITHOUT an override tax. I bring this expertise with me. I promise you I will bring respectability to the Arizona House of Representatives.

Terri Proud Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.vote4proud.com For too long our State has been mismanaged and misguided. I can’t afford to watch my two daughters, ages 13 and 18, be robbed of their future and I suspect you cannot watch your children’s future disappear. We need to take Economic development seriously. We need policies to create jobs and build a climate where it can thrive. Whether that is through entrepreneurial spirit and free enterprise or by luring companies to move to Arizona through reduced taxes, we need those jobs. Focusing education back to the basics our children need will increase our poor graduating rates and postsecondary attendance, providing the workforce our State needs. It is time to raise the bar, not lower it for our students and hold those accountable who are responsible for teaching them. We can achieve these goals by embracing our values and electing leadership which reflects them The time has come to put aside our differences, cast aside petty politics and work together to reach the vision we each hold for our self’s, our children, our communities and our State. Government has become a blockade to this vision and that needs to change. We need leadership and I want to serve you.

Vic Williams Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.vote4vic.com In 2008, I ran for the Legislature pledging to curb Arizona spending, battle illegal immigration and protect education. As your State Representative I have kept my promises. I have voted to cut state spending by nearly 22%, helping to return the budget to sustainable levels while protecting education. I have supported efforts to make education Arizona’s top priority by working to ensure it is well funded, equipped and ready to serve the needs of our children. I also supported Proposition 100, understanding the need for temporary revenue, demanding that with added revenue come serious accountability. I have fought to ensure Arizona’s immigration laws are adequately enforced and our citizens are protected. I voted for SB 1070 and stand proudly to defend the law. I am running for reelection because there is still work to be done. We must create a business environment that will attract jobs and long term investment in our state. We must protect Arizona with smart, principled budgeting to make sure we are never driven into such a crisis ever again. Finally, we must reform education to create a properly funded and accountable system to build our strong economy and an educated workforce. www.vote4vic.com or 520.390.9946

I would like to be a legislator who would bring Arizona into the 21st Century. I plan to work to give future generations the vibrant and competitive Arizona they deserve. I want to fund public education so every student graduating from an Arizona public school will be considered one of the best and brightest in the nation.

I have been working directly with youth my entire career. My work experience includes: working in healthcare as a Behavioral Health Associate for the Arizona Children’s Association in Tucson; in education as a K8 Teacher & coach; and law enforcement as a Pima County Juvenile Corrections Officer.

Robert I Compton Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.thatcomptonguy.com I am running for public office because, I am concerned about our countries future and want to bring a working man's view to the Legislature. The free market/enterprise system in the U.S. is the best in the world. Most of the major U.S. corporations started with one man's idea. Their business started in a garage and eventually grew. The system works and any person with ambition can prosper. Today we are bogged down with government regulations. Just trying to start a business is a mind blowing ordeal. Filing your income taxes has become too complex. We need professionals to interpret these tasks. We have too many career politicians today. Many of them don't read the legislative bills in there entirety. They depend on their aides to decipher them. Who is the Legislator? I have worked in the private sector for over 30 years. I live within my means. I have no major debts, and I stay informed. The Constitution is for free Americans. The role of the federal government is to protect our liberties and freedoms.

John Kromko Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: I was a legislator for 14 years starting in 1976 and was involved in some of the most groundbreaking legislation of the time. I started the generic drug bill, and worked on legislation that expanded voter rights, strengthened consumer protections, and provided very early environmental protections. When the legislature failed (or lacked the courage) to act, I used the petition process to repeal the sales tax on food, pass Arizona's first groundwater pollution laws, start the AHCCCS health care program, and allow gaming on reservations. I invented the "motor voter" registration reform, which was passed by petition in Arizona and later adopted by Congress. I was invited to the White House for the signing. These initiatives were once very controversial, but they have ALL been wonderful for the people of Arizona. I'm running again because we are faced with massively critical issues in education, health care, water, and social services. Many problems cannot be solved unless we repair our broken tax structure. Our political leaders don't seem to have the will to face the tax issue decisively. I pledge to do my legislative best. But if petition action by the people is necessary, I'm ready.

Macario Saldate Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.votemacariosaldate2010.info District 27 deserves a full time representative, I can provide that type of representation and leadership. After 50 years of dedicated community service in Tucson I am now retired. But retirement has not diluted the passion within me to be actively involved with the challenges which confront us, especially in District27 We need to utilize our potential for solving and addressing the issues facing District27. The challenges we face in the areas of employment, wages, access to health services, and quality educational advantages for all of our children are too important to be second on anyone’s agenda. One of my strengths in solving problems is the ability to listen to people, people from all walks of life, people form different cultures, from different ethnic backgrounds, from different occupations and from different economic positions and levels of education. However taking the information I gather and passing it on in the legislature is not enough, my ability to take the information and develop a plan in order to solve the problems is another one of my strengths. As your representative it will not only be my job to make sure your voices are heard in Phoenix but to offer concrete solutions. Dr. Saldate

The urgent need for New Leadership in our state is exemplified by the passage of the foolish and unconstitutional, immoral and, yes, racist SB 1070 and by cuts in education, healthcare, state parks and human services, which clearly are most needed during hard economic times. The public was manipulated into voting for a onecent sales tax increase because the Legislature didn't have the courage to roll back excessively large corporate tax breaks. I have been a small business owner for 32 years. As a member of the working class, I recognize the struggles of my neighbors just to provide their families with food, homes, healthcare and education and to plan for their future retirement. My Business/Social Work education gives me a perspective that our legislature sorely needs. I pledge that when elected to the state legislature I will work tirelessly for all the people of this state. I ask for your vote.

Ken Smalley Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: kensmalleyforrep.com Economists agree that for the next two years, states will continue to face deep financial pressure. Arizona needs skilled and experienced lawmakers who can lead us out of this crisis. That is why I am running for state representative in Legislative District 28. I owned a successful small business in Tucson that was profitable through four recessions and created scores of jobs. Having earned a master’s degree in business, with an emphasis in finance, I have both the education and experience to return Arizona to financial stability. My plan to make our state fiscally sound is not through budget cuts, but involves making Arizona government more efficient. I will promote volunteerism to fill gaps in services and bring back a sense of community. To enhance revenue, we must grow our economy and encourage businesses to relocate here. Additional taxes and fees are not the answer. Education needs to be our number one budget priority and the state must emphasize parental involvement to help ensure educational success. Arizona can attract more jobs, have financial stability, offer a better education, and greater community involvement. If elected, I pledge to accomplish these critical changes.

Tim Sultan Party: Democratic Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.timsultan.com SAVE OUR SCHOOLS!!! Arizona is in crisis and I am running this campaign to fix it. I was born in Tucson nearly 40 years ago. Over the years, I have seen our home change but our people have never been as desperate as they are now. Classrooms are out of money, it feels less safe to walk in our neighborhoods, and some people choose not to see a doctor because it costs too much. I received a good education from Tucson public schools, the University of Arizona, Thunderbird and Harvard. Our next generation of Tucsonans deserves the same opportunities. My experience working in a Silicon Valley technology startup, The Gallup Poll, U.S. Embassy, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Arizona Governor’s Office gives me a headstart to address our current fiscal problems. As Vice President of a global negotiation consultancy, I have the negotiation skills to get legislation passed for Tucson Democrats. In order to properly fund education, CPS, public safety, and health care for children, we need a leader who will create new clean energy jobs and fix our $3 billion structural budget deficit. I am that leader. Please vote for TIM SULTAN on August 24th.

I believe in public schools that inspire students, instill creativity, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and confidence through a strong partnership involving students, teachers, parents and strong, locally controlled school districts. We must reverse the priorities of the present legislature which have resulted in Arizona being ranked 50th nationally in per student investment and having the third highest school dropout rate in the nation. We presently spend about $6,800 per year, per student, while spending over $40,000 per year, per prison inmate. Education does matter! We must focus on ways to recapture the 300,000 jobs lost over the last two years. Working among policy makers and statewide leaders in science and business, Arizona will attract greater venture investment and hightech companies, such as solar and bioscience, adding thousands of new jobs to our struggling economy. Because of my experience and leadership, I believe I can best work on your behalf. I hope to earn one of the two votes you may cast for this important office.

I have worked to bring commonsense solutions to the problems facing our state. I fought against destructive cuts to public education and health services. Unfortunately, many of these cuts were enacted, and I worry that students will struggle to receive the education they need for future success and prosperity. As the only practicing physician in our legislature, I see how health care cuts threaten medical services for Southern Arizona patients, especially low income children. With record unemployment and state and local budgets in crisis, middle class families demand proactive leadership to bring innovative solutions. For example, Arizona Universities have developed tools to revitalize our economy through development of alternative energy, including algaebased jet fuel production. As a proponent of financial discipline, I introduced tax policy reform that would have lowered our state sales tax rate while creating a more stable and equitable revenue stream for essential state programs and infrastructure. The legislative priorities of those in power in Phoenix do NOT reflect the needs of everyday Arizonans. I ask for your support to continue to fight for the effective, responsive government we deserve.

Pat Kilburn Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.votekilburn.com My career in public service began in the US Army serving in Vietnam and being awarded the Purple Heart. As a Federal Agent, I’ve served as a Park Ranger, U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Immigration Inspector, Industrial Security Specialist, Treaty Liaison Officer and DSS Special Agent in Charge. Retiring after 31 years, I started a small business. I served as District 29 Republican Party Chairman for the past four years and was awarded “Outstanding District Chairman 2010” by the AZGOP. My wife Vicky and I have resided in District 29 since 1998. My two sons, who attended Arizona public schools, are now grown and have successful careers. With a degree in Economics, I understand the serious issues we face in revitalizing our economy. First, we must keep taxes low to encourage new companies to relocate here and bring new jobs to Arizona. Second, we must make a commitment to an improved school system and insure more accountability. Our border must be secured to stop not only undocumented workers and human smuggling but drug traffickers and the threat of terrorists entering our country. When elected, I will strive to make the government more transparent and accountable to the citizens of Arizona

David Gowan Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.gowanforaz.com Last election I promised to work hard and cast a conservative vote on issues like cutting spending, fighting illegal immigration, protecting families, and restoring our 2nd Amendment rights. In a year when many incumbents around the country are rightfully getting kicked out of office for not doing their jobs, I’m proud to say “Promises made, Promises kept!” In just my first term in office, we cut over $2 billion in state spending, we passed SB1070 to crack down on illegal immigration, and Arizona is now one of the top three states in the country in 2nd Amendment freedoms. In just my first term, I had 11 bills passed and signed by the governor, making me one of the most effective legislators in the body. If you reelect me, I will be a Committee Chairman, giving our district even more influence on important issues like protecting our military bases, improving education, and getting our economy back on track. It is an honor to serve you, and to serve with quality conservatives like Frank AntenoriTed and Vogt. I ask for your vote so that we can continue to clean up the mess the liberal politicians left behind for us. God bless!

For decades, we have put up with career politicians at all levels of government that continue to restrict our freedoms; destroy our economy with over regulation, and take our money and property. It is time for government to once again be of the people, by the people, and for the people. I have never run for office before, but have defended our freedoms both in the military and as a voter/advocate. We need to secure our borders, protect our ability to defend ourselves/families, promote free speech, protect the unborn, curb the fascist state, lower taxes across the board, and push back against a power hungry federal government. We need to get the government out of business so that the economy can recover. We need to balance the state budget and pay down the state debt in order to secure our future as a state and as a nation. We need to improve our educational system by encouraging the best teaching methods whatever form they take and by increasing the ratio of teachers to administrators in our public schools. I am a Christian family man who will fight for your freedom. I am the Radical Conservative. Knurr4az30.com

Parralee Schneider Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.parralee.com Raised and educated in Tucson including Salpointe High School and the University of Arizona, I married a lieutenant stationed at Fort Huachuca and began a 29year Army odyssey around the world. Upon my husband’s retirement I returned to Tucson and became active in the real estate field, my community and the politics of Southern Arizona by serving as President of the Tanque Verde Valley Association, as President and a founding director of the Friends of the Kirk Bear Canyon Library and as cofounder of an Eastside Republican group. I currently serve on the Arizona Republican Party’s Executive Committee, my Homeowners board and Tucson Association of Realtors Government Affairs Committee. As a grassroots conservative I support smaller, efficient government; improving the economy through business friendly legislation; requiring more dollars from the educational pie going into the classroom and enforcing our state’s immigration laws. An improved synergy between our state universities, local community colleges, businesses and industries should help to create the employment opportunities Arizona needs. I know District Representatives will be faced with tough decisions and difficult choices during the 2011 legislative session. I’m ready for that hard work and would be honored to serve the voters of LD30

Doug Sposito Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.AZ30house.com I own and run the general contracting business I started from nothing twenty years ago. I bring certain knowledge that government does not create jobs, business creates jobs. Government’s role in a slow economy is to write policy which encourages business. Business leaders have the unique ability of bringing together people of different talents in order to achieve a targeted objective; the inability of the current legislature to really balance the budget. Borrowing over and over, fund sweeping accounts meant for other projects, the mandating of reform like health care. I stand ready, to be held accountable as your new Representative. As a Republican I understand that each American should be recognized for their individual contributions to our society, that talent and diligent, determined hard work should be rewarded to those who endeavor to succeed. That government should be limited to doing only those things we cannot do for our selves such as national defense and border security and power should be kept close to the people in order for accountability to have meaning.
