2010 Candidate Statement Pamphlet General Election

Letter from the Commission

Dear Arizona Voters:

Thank you for becoming involved in the political process in Arizona. By voting in the upcoming General Election, 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 this 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

2010 Candidate Statement Pamphlet General Election

General Election Date

November 2, 2010 Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Disclaimer

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

Candidates seeking statewide and state 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 general election ballot as of August 25, 2010. Candidates seeking a congressional or local office or judges seeking retention are not included in this pamphlet.

Candidates that did not supply a statement by the deadline date, August 23, 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.

The Citizens Clean Elections Commission encourages candidates to submit statements for the pamphlet that reflect their campaign issues. The Citizens Clean Elections Commission takes no responsibility for candidates that use their statement as an attack on their opponent(s).

Why is the Pamphlet Printed in Spanish?

In 1975 Congress adopted the language minority provisions amendment of the 1965 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.” For Arizona the language of the applicable minority group is Spanish.

For more information regarding this issue please contact the United States Department of Justice at 202-514-2000 or email [email protected].

Arizona’s Citizens Clean Elections Act

The Citizens Clean Elections Act (Act) is a voter–approved, non-appropriated 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 funds do not come from the State General Fund but from several sources including a 10% surcharge on civil and criminal fines and penalties as well as voluntary donations.

The Act applies to candidates for legislative and statewide offices. To participate in the public funding system, a candidate must raise and submit to the Secretary of State’s office a number of $5 qualifying contributions. The contributions must be from Arizona registered voters.

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 table shows the minimum number of $5 qualifying contributions a candidate must obtain; the maximum amount of early contributions a candidate may collect; and the amount of funding each office may receive for the primary and general elections in 2010.

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

The Citizens Clean Elections Commission

The Citizens Clean Elections Commission (Commission) was established by the Voters of Arizona when they passed the Citizens Clean Elections Act, Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 16, Chapter 6, Article 2. In addition to funding qualified candidates, enforcing the provisions of Clean Elections Act, the Commission produces the candidate statement pamphlets prior to the primary and general elections, sponsors candidate debates, and promulgates rules to carry out the purpose of the Act. The Commission holds regular public meetings. Annually, the Commission elects its chair and reports its activities to the Governor, the Legislature and the public.

The Commission consists of 5 members: • No more than 2 shall be members of the same political party. • No more than 2 shall be residents of the same county. • A member of the Commission shall serve no more than one term and is not eligible for reappointment.

Who appoints the Commissioners? • The Governor and the highest-ranking official holding a statewide office who is not a member of the same political party as the Governor alternate filling Commission vacancies.

Citizens Clean Elections Fund

• 10% surcharge imposed on all civil and criminal fines and penalties collected pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-116.01.

• $5 voluntary tax check-off per taxpayer who files an Arizona state income tax return. A taxpayer who checks this box receives a $5 reduction in tax liability and $5 goes to the Clean Elections Fund.

• Voluntary tax donation designating on an income tax return form filed by the individual or business entity, or by making a payment directly to the Fund. Any taxpayer making a donation shall receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit not to exceed 20 percent of the tax amount on the return or $640 per taxpayer, whichever is higher.

• Qualifying contributions received by participating candidates.

• Civil penalties assessed against violators of the Citizens Clean Elections Act.

Receive a Dollar-for-Dollar Tax Credit An Arizona taxpayer may obtain a tax credit by making a payment directly to the Clean Elections Fund. A donation to the Clean Elections Fund entitles any taxpayer to a dollar-for- dollar tax credit; not to exceed 20% of the tax amount on the income tax return or $640 per taxpayer ($1280 if filing jointly) whichever is greater.

Candidate Statement Pamphlet General Election Candidates for Governor Janice K. Brewer Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.janbrewer.com Voters have a clear choice this November. Governor Jan Brewer is getting the job done and leading Arizona's comeback: attracting jobs, protecting schools, balancing our budget, reducing spending, fighting Obamacare and demanding the federal government secure our border. Her opponent, Terry Goddard, opposed SB1070 siding with President Obama. He's backed by the SEIU and UFCW unions who are suing to stop SB1070 and leading the boycott of Arizona, including the 2011 All­Star game. He won't defend Arizona against Obamacare and its $11 billion price tag. Goddard fought Arizona’s right to determine its own funding system for students learning English, free from federal intervention ­ the state won without him. He supported Napolitano’s out of control spending and has no plan to balance Arizona’s budget. Brewer fought to maintain education and public safety at critical levels and ensured that voters had the right to decide whether to increase funding. Proposition 100 resoundingly passed with 64% of the vote. Brewer’s leadership in creating a stable, financial environment has also attracted over $1 billion in new private investment, creating thousands of new jobs. Governor Jan Brewer has a consistent track record. Terry Goddard has been wrong for Arizona for 30 years. Visit www.JanBrewer.com.

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!

Terry Goddard Party: Democrat 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.

My competitor’s bold­faced claims that “only” they can solve the problems that they created, are nothing short of an outrageous insult. They’ve already proven they can’t, or won’t do anything different if they are elected, because they are elected, and yet have done nothing to resolve Arizona’s challenges. While they are happy to take your tax money to fund their political aspirations and campaigns, I chose another path­­that of integrity. As the only ‘conservative’ thinker in this race, If you believe our State government is too large, too corrupt, too expensive, way too restrictive, and want to restore respect for our Constitution. I ask for your support. Please visit my website at: www.HessForGovernor.Com for commonsense solutions to solve our border issues, restore your property rights and get our economy going again. I’ll eliminate the income tax (Libertarians come with a money­back guarantee!), and heal Arizona’s political­divide to protect your rights and property, without fear of political reprisal. In the meantime, as Arizona’s fortunes continue to sink, I’ll work to save the People­­they’ll work to save their (political) boat.

The statements were reproduced exactly as submitted and were not edited for spelling, grammar, or punctuation. These statements represent the opinions of the authors and have not been checked for accuracy of content. 12 Candidate Statement Pamphlet General 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: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: DescheneForArizona.com Strong leaders lead from the front. I am a United States Naval Academy graduate and a Marine Corps Major with honorable service as an infantry and reconnaissance officer. In 2008, I was elected as a state representative and passed laws to protect rural voters from being disenfranchised and improve the accountability regarding our electronic voting machines. I am ready to serve as your Secretary of State. As Secretary of State, I will fight to protect the rights of every voter by tackling Arizona’s complex elections laws. My vision is to be inclusive, protect our elections, and run a professional office that is fair, open, and transparent. To ensure our elections are impartially administered, I pledge to not endorse candidates for public office. My first priority is to institute a top­to­bottom review of our election system to save Arizona taxpayers money, increase communications between the state and county recorders, and expand voter education and outreach. Arizona is home to my children, my wife and I. As an attorney, engineer and business owner who serves as a national leader on energy issues, I am ready to work for our future. I ask for your support and your vote. Thank you.

Before becoming Schools Superintendent, Tom Horne was a Special Assistant Attorney General. An evaluation by the then AG’s office stated, “Mr. Horne performed as a brilliant, masterful, and persuasive litigator.” He was a Judge Pro Tem and is the author of a legal text published by the State Bar. He was rated “very ethical” by his fellow lawyers every one of his 30 years as a practicing attorney. (Martindale annual survey of attorneys.) As Schools Superintendent, Horne brought academic rigor to the classroom, holding schools, teachers, and students accountable for results, raising student achievement and test scores. He banned bilingual education, and required that all students learn English. When the Attorney General refused to appeal federal fines against Arizona of $1 million a day, in the English Language Learner case, Tom Horne appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, and won it, saving taxpayers $300 million.

Felecia Rotellini Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: http://www.feleciaforarizona.com Fighting crime is not a Democratic, Republican or Independent issue. I’m Felecia Rotellini, and my priorities as Attorney General are clear: Protect Arizona families and seniors. Secure our border; stop anything illegal from crossing. Shut down mortgage fraud and human smuggling to build a safer Arizona. I will crack down on consumer fraud and create a special unit to ensure aggressive prosecution of those who abuse our seniors. Securing our border means fighting violent crime and stopping the predators, gangs and Mexican cartels that threaten our lives and our homes by running drugs, people, guns and money across our border. 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 hundreds of millions of dollars for the elderly victims. As a regulator and financial watchdog, I forced mortgage companies’ loan officers to get licensed. I’m a political outsider who gets results. That’s why firefighters, The Arizona Republic, the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, police and sheriffs across our state endorse me. I ask for your vote. Please visit: www.FeleciaforArizona.com.

Its government is broken and the state is broke. No one is lifting a finger for middle class Arizonans who play by the rules but are getting ignored. Andrei Cherny is different. He'll be “THE TAXPAYER’S BULLDOG”­–standing up for us. As a TOUGH ARIZONA PROSECUTOR, he took on corporate crooks, corrupt public officials, and illegal immigrant smugglers. Andrei will stand up to Wall Street and work with small businesses to CREATE GOOD JOBS. He'll TAKE ON THE BUREAUCRATS by using audits to reform state government and go after waste and mismanagement–­his opponent says he won’t. He'll protect Governor Brewer's solar tax cuts­–his opponent says no. Andrei will take on the politicians in both parties and be AN INDEPENDENT VOICE for fiscal responsibility. Arizona needs a Treasurer who plays by the rules­–the “East Valley Tribune” says Andrei's opponent "has a history of failing to file reports on time with the Arizona Corporation Commission, and failed to pay property taxes on his Paradise Valley home for two years." ANDREI CHERNY­–HUSBAND. FATHER. A TOUGH ARIZONA PROSECUTOR. THE TAXPAYER’S BULLDOG. He’s not part of the mess in state government, he’s going there to clean it up. To learn more, visit www.AndreiForArizona.com.

Doug Ducey Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.votedougducey.com Doug Ducey is a businessman, not a career politician. He believes it’s time for new faces and a business­oriented approach to Arizona government. We need real business skills to manage tax dollars more efficiently and to help create good, new Arizona jobs. As CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, Doug led the expansion of the company from a handful of stores to over 1440 stores worldwide. He knows what it takes to create jobs and to build a healthy business climate in Arizona. If elected, Doug will focus on three priorities: 1) being a prudent manager of the state’s finances, 2) bringing openness and clarity to Arizona’s finances so that all citizens know how government is spending our money, and 3) working with the governor to help create private­sector jobs. Doug is married to Angela Ducey, and they have three sons. He is an ASU graduate and is active in a number of professional and charitable organizations in Arizona.

Thane Eichenauer Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: twitter.com/ilovegrover There is no problem facing the state of Arizona for which more government borrowing and spending is the proper solution. I will just say no to more government borrowing and spending. I will not aid and abet the continuing scheme of borrowing and spending that the current Republican state treasurer Dean Martin has engaged in. I will not attempt to choose business winners and losers by trying to make Arizona "the Solar State" as my opponent Andrei Cherny advocates. Hint: It already is! I will not support the propaganda and witch hunt campaign known as SB 1070 as my opponent Thayer Verschoor has. I will not seek the endorsement of Republican US Senator Jon Kyl who as recently as October 2008 (Roll call vote 213) voted to increase the amount that the US government may borrow by $800 billion as my opponent Barbara Leff has. If you agree with me that government cannot borrow and spend its way to prosperity please vote for me. My name is Thane Eichenauer and I aim to misbehave.

I am an independent businessman on NOT Mill Avenue in Tempe with five years of experience helping others build small businesses. I've Submitted been a political activist for eight years supporting marijuana reform and opposing measures like SB1070. As state Treasurer I will: promote CLEAN ENERGY, including solar, bio­diesel and magnet­powered motors; implement full TRANSPARENCY of state spending and investments; and promote new JOBS. Every check I sign as Treasurer will be posted on line so any taxpayer can see how every penny is spent. I will fully disclose every dollar of the $10 billion in Arizona’s investment portfolio. I will work to create a favorable business climate in order to attract high paying jobs in the cleaner energy, health care and bio­tech industries. I will fight for common sense regulations to make it easier for Arizona citizens to start small businesses and to attract out­of­state companies to move here. Please visit www.ThomasMeadows.com and join my campaign for a cleaner and greener Arizona.

Implementing an innovative teacher, school and school district accountability system, Huppenthal turned around entire school districts and got results. As Superintendent of Public Instruction, Huppenthal will spread his successful educational reforms across Arizona so that EVERY child receives a quality education. Over 40% of Arizona’s children lack basic reading skills by fourth grade and statewide test scores are declining. This is unacceptable. Our children deserve better. To improve Arizona’s schools, Huppenthal will set high standards and reduce administrative costs to ensure more money reaches the classroom – where it belongs. To prepare students for high­paying jobs, Huppenthal will place a renewed emphasis on math and science skills. He will also insist that all students learn to read and write in English.

Penny Kotterman Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.pennykotterman.com As a parent, teacher, and teacher mentor, I have spent more than thirty years devoted to public eudcation. I am running for Superintendent of Public Instruction because I believe I can make a real difference for our public schools and the children they serve. We must create high standards and high expectations for our students, our teachers and school leaders, and our communities. 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. Arizona can have one of the best education systems in the country, but we need experienced leadership to make that a reality. I believe I can bring Arizona common sense positive solutions. Vote for Penny Kotterman on November 2, 2010.

It requires an independent and fair­minded individual to provide oversight to determine when rate increases are necessary and in the best interests of Arizona citizens. I want to be part of a Commission that will: be a catalyst for Arizona growth in the research and development of new technologies in the areas of clean energy, energy conservation and sustainability; provide the insight and leadership to be both a resource and an incubator for research into alternative energy resources of every kind; be actively recruiting new corporations to come to Arizona to make it the alternative energy capital of the world; provide the foresight into the future to ensure that we meet our energy needs in ways that are as environmentally respectful, economically feasible, and as energy efficient as possible; ensure that distributive energy opportunities are exploited as much as possible; develop practical plans for meeting base needs of energy production in a timely and efficient manner; build and sustain an energy infrastructure that will meet the needs of our State for decades to come.

Rick was formerly a vice­president with three different firms in the Phoenix area before starting his own engineering firm in Mesa in 1983. In addition to his BS in Civil Engineering, Rick has also earned an MBA from ASU. Rick has design experience in industries that the ACC regulates, including design of structures in the electric power, water resources, and railroad industries. Rick is committed to ending the monopoly system for the electric power companies in Arizona and promoting competition. The ACC has the authority to do so, but has failed to act. If elelcted, Rick will work to expand the boundaries of the power companies so that they overlap, giving consumers more than one choice for their electric service providers. Rick feels that the same kind of system could be developed for the water resources industry as well. If you are a voter who is fed up with politics as usual, here is your chance to send a message that you would like to see candidates like Rick Fowlkes in office. Candidates who believe "the best government is less government." Vote Rick Fowlkes for Corporation Commission.

Arizona is rich in clean renewable energy sources, especially solar energy. Yet, less than 2% of our electricity is from clean energy sources, and the current standard only calls for improving to 15% by 2025. I believe we can do better. 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. Maria and I have been married 37 years and have three children and four grandkids. Join me in aggressively pursuing the agenda for clean renewable energy. AS YOUR CORPORATION COMMISSIONER, I WILL FIGHT: •to keep future utility rate increases low; •to improve renewable energy standards; •to make Arizona a leader in sustainable energy policies and renewable energy standards. I respectfully ask for your vote.

Theodore Gomez Party: Green Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: Photo I was recruited to come to Arizona from Michigan by Collins College in Tempe. They promised NOT me that if I got myself to the school they would arrange for student loans and a job. A friend Submitted and I loaded everything we owned into a car and drove across the country. When we arrived the admissions counselor at Collins College enrolled us and signed us up for tens of thousands of dollars in student loans­­but no job. So now we are homeless and live on Mill Avenue. It’s hard to study when you have no place to sleep, so we dropped out of school but Collins College won’t refund our money. We aren’t the only students who have been scammed by Collins College. They lure young people here with promises of a better life and then pile us up with debt that we can never pay and throw us out on to the streets where we resort to asking strangers for change. If elected I will demand that private colleges be regulated so they can’t hurt kids any more. Thanks Steve May for helping us out.

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 politically motivated. To be selective in the boycott was pure hypocrisy! They needed to be called out for it, and 93% of Americans agreed with me! This economy is hard on all Arizonans. I have held the utility companies to a high standard for the rates and services you expect. I was rated a “Friend of the Taxpayer” as a state legislator. Voting no on rate cases, where the companies have been asking too much, has made me a “Champion of the Ratepayer.” President Obama and the liberals running against me want to tax you for Carbon Dioxide. Studies have shown that Arizonans will see their rates increase up to 260% if the Obama­ites get their way. None of us can afford that. You can stop them! Vote for Gary Pierce and Brenda Burns for the ACC.

Tax cuts if you earn over $175,000. Sales tax increases for the rest of us. And check your Arizona tax withholding. My employees and I saw our state tax withholding triple on July 1st. That means less money in our pockets. Meanwhile Senator Pierce protected the profits of big developers by freezing building code improvements and stopping cities from collecting more impact fees that would have paid local governments back for their costs of growth. I know you are fed up with "Politics As Usual" in Arizona and so am I. If we can move the next Legislature to close just 30% of the tax breaks enjoyed by the "fat cats" it will generate $3 billion which will close the budget deficit and protect school budgets. Cutting the sales tax by a full percent next year, economists say, will spur spending and raise revenue even more. Tapping mineral royalties and spending them on education and job growth will lead us to a brighter future. Vote for Bob Donahue and together we can stop "Politics As Usual" in Arizona.

Steve Pierce Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: wwww.electstevepierce.com I’m a rancher, not a politician.

Joan and I have been married for 37 years and raised our four children in Prescott, and we have been blessed with four grandchildren. As a lifelong conservative Republican, I will fight for Arizona’s families and businesses. That means lower taxes, protection of water and private property rights, secure borders, road improvements, school choice, and modernized forest management. I am optimistic about our future, but we must have responsible fiscal policies in place to preserve our freedom and allow us to prosper as a community. I was first elected in 2008 and became the first freshman senator to serve in a senate leadership position. I have also served as Chairman of the Yavapai County Republican Party. I ask you to continue to support my candidacy and vote for me in this election. It has been an honor to serve you.

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.

Frank Mulligan Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: votemulligan.net I never wanted to be a politician. My passion has always been for science, to uncover the wondrous secrets of the universe. I’ve never been satisfied with simple answers and my curiosity has taken my life in many different directions. I’ve been an insurance agent, a software developer, an independent businessman, a stage performer, a synthetic chemist, and an activist. I have earned a B.A. in Philosophy and a M.S. in Chemistry from Northern Arizona University. Since graduation, I have been teaching chemistry as a community college professor. I became active in politics, when I realized that our system of mass media was actively engaging in deception on a vast scale. I took action to promote the quite voices of independent researchers who dare to speak truth to power, by founding the Red Pill Movie group which promotes unorthodox educational films. I’m a scientist, not a politician. The goal of my candidacy is to bring greater scientific literacy to our lawmaking body, which often deals with scientific matters such as water fluoridation, food and drug safety, environmental protection, resource management, and energy policy. I hope my background will allow me to contribute to a kinder, wiser government in this great state of Arizona.

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 Arizona under attack by the Obama administration along with liberal special interest groups from across the nation, 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 general election.

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 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.

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: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: elaineforarizona.com Elaine Bohlmeyer is dedicated to strengthening public education, promoting renewable energy, creating quality jobs, affordable health care and supporting our veterans. Our past legislators have failed to solve our tough financial problems. I will work for practical and responsible solutions that will not place further burdens on our middle class residents. I will work to close tax loopholes, repeal frivolous tax credits, cut waste and bureaucracy, and collect back taxes owed our state. I will work to attract businesses offering high quality jobs and paying good wages, and this will increase revenue to pay for the services our citizens deserve. In addition to supporting our traditional industries of agriculture and mining, I will encourage environmentally friendly businesses of the future that utilize our renewable resources of wind, sun, and forests. Our children deserve a first­class education so we can compete in a national business arena, and all of our citizens must have access to quality health care so they are healthy when they go to work or school. We must ensure our present and returning veterans a decent quality of life. When I am elected, I will work relentlessly for these issues.

My roots are five generations deep in eastern Arizona’s soil; and my boots represent the means of getting the hard work done; even if it means kicking a little you­know­what when needed. As your representative I will listen to your concerns and be prompt in returning your phone calls. I will fight legislation that raises taxes and oppose legislation that increases undue regulations on business. I will reform where possible, repeal where necessary, and replace when possible with initiatives that move Arizona forward. I will champion rural Arizona’s needs at the Legislature and stand up to the Maricopa and Pima County crowd when necessary. I am a strong advocate for border enforcement and have been endorsed by Senator Pearce, author of SB1070, as well as Sheriff Arpaio. Border security is national security. I have campaigned on protecting our natural resources, improving our education options, and encouraging economic growth, and that is how I will vote. We must pass a truly balanced budget, ensure that government lives within its means, and defend Arizona from an over­reaching federal government. My values are: Faith, Family, and Freedom, and I ask for your vote!

Chester Crandell Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Our district has a long­standing tradition of electing independent­minded conservatives to office. That is the type of legislator I will be if you honor me with your vote. Like Jake Flake used to be, I will work for what is best for rural Arizona without the partisan rancor and rhetoric that seems to define politics today. Republicans and Democrats can disagree, but we can do so without being disagreeable. 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. We need reforms to encourage job creation and economic growth for Arizona. And we have to protect our education dollars from the larger counties and their insatiable appetites. We simply cannot afford more government and our taxpayers cannot afford higher taxes. We must live within our means, make government smaller, and make it work. I ask for your vote and thank you, in advance, for your support.

Bill Shumway Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: [email protected] My name is Bill Shumway and I was born, raised and have lived most of my life in Winslow. I am a fourth generation Arizonan and have lived in Legislative District 5 for 60 years. I am now retired (September1st) from a life long career with the BNSF railway as a Locomotive Engineer. My father, Boyd Shumway, was a career railroad man who served two terms in the Arizona Legislature. I first followed his career path into railroading and now, with your help, I would like to follow his lead in serving the people of Legislative District 5. I believe in using a common sense approach to finding common ground in dealing with our legislative challenges. We must find workable, trans­partisan solutions to our problems. 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. 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.

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 tourism­ dependent 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.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and Army veteran. I earned my BS in Computer Information Systems from DeVry University in 2006, graduating with honors. I have lived in the same home and worked at the same company for 13 years. I am a computer programmer, and as such, my job requires me to work with others to come up with solutions that work for everyone. I grew up on stories of Phoenix and Barry Goldwater (when my grandmother spoke his name, you could hear choirs of angels singing), finally coming home in 1997. I am committed to my family, my neighbors, my community. This is my home. We are all affected by what's going on around us. Most of us are going through hard times. But there are those who are more interested in what they can do for their friends than Arizonans. It's time for the children to go home and the adults to work together and come up with solutions to make Arizona the shining light it is meant to be.

Lori Klein Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.kleinforsenate.net I have a life­long record of working to protect the taxpayers of Arizona. I led the fight to protect our private property rights (Prop 207 in 2006) and to protect our health care freedom from programs like ObamaCare (Prop 101 in 2008). I am a first­time candidate for public office because I want to bring my expertise and passion to the State Legislature, where we need to do so much to get Arizona back on the path to fiscal health. We need to balance our budget, cut spending, and provide tax relief for the small businesses that drive our economy and that will lead us back to better economic times. I am committed to border security and fighting illegal immigration and was a supporter of SB1070. With three sons of my own, education is a particular concern of mine, and I want to ensure that every parent has the opportunity to send their child to the best schools possible. We need to increase classroom spending and target bloated school bureaucracies that spend hundreds of millions of dollars but do not teach a single child. We have a real opportunity to take our government back and get Arizona back on track.

I’m glad that Teddy Roosevelt had the vision to set aside those lands for future generations. Arizona needs that kind of vision for the 21st century­­­­­pulling us up from the recession and leading us ahead. As a former teacher, librarian, small business owner, and mother of three boys; I have the training and background to provide that leadership. Through my volunteer experience with DUET (formerly ViCap), as an elder in my church, and as a board member of my community association; I understand the needs and appreciate the strengths and diversity of District 6. As a Representative I’ll focus on improving education in Arizona, particularly for young children, and strengthening our Math and Science programs. I’ll work to attract green businesses and clean energy industries to the state, creating jobs that will be viable for the future. Arizonans face a choice in 2010. 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.

Amanda Reeve Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.amandareeve.com My name is Amanda Reeve and I am asking for your vote in the upcoming election. I am a long­ time resident of District 6. I am involved in our community. I am a defender of the Second Amendment. I believe in fiscal responsibility. I believe in reducing government and increasing individual liberty. These are the principles that will continue to guide me as an elected official. The Federal Government has failed to secure the border. Arizona has the right to fight illegal immigration and the crimes associated with illegal immigration. I voted for SB 1070. Additionally, as a member of Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee, I worked to strengthen the law and protect our citizens. My other major priority is to create job opportunities and promote economic development. Arizona needs to revive the free­market to strengthen our economy. Our businesses and industries are over­taxed, over­regulated, and overwhelmed. I will work tirelessly and thoughtfully to cut taxes, deregulate unduly burdensome regulations, and get the government off the back of Arizona’s businesses and industries. I am asking for your vote this November. With your support, I will be an effective voice for you at the State Capitol.

But we went to work and got after the problem. We cut spending, passed important reforms, and still managed to protect public safety and education spending. We have a lot of work left to do and our economy may well take a long time to recover, but I am committed to ensuring that the taxpayers do not have to shoulder any more of the burden than they already do. I have kept my campaign promises and have voted to protect taxpayers and families. I have voted to fight illegal immigration and voted for SB1070. I voted to restore our 2nd Amendment rights and improve school choice programs. If shrinking government, fighting against an ever­expanding and intrusive federal government, and focusing on growing our economy and creating jobs is an agenda that you agree with, then I ask for your vote. Together, we can make Arizona great again. Thank you to the teachers, parents, police and fire personnel and everyone else who is supporting my campaign.

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.

Eric Shelley Party: Democrat 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!

I believe in limited, purposeful government. I will work relentlessly to balance the budget and make our state government lean and efficient. Next, I will work to create 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 be your Republican candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives.

Don Chilton Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.donchilton.com My wife of 37 years, Pat, and I have lived in District 7 for 15 years. 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 re­ established. 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.

James Iannuzo Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.iannuzo.com Respecting individual privacy and leaving your money with you and your family is fundamental to my campaign. 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.

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 November 2.

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.

Her primary focus while in office has been being a voice for Arizona small businesses. She moved to Arizona with her family in 1991 and they operated FASTSIGNS on Central for 10 years, learning first hand that small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Rep. Reagan has served as the Chairwoman of the House Commerce committee for the past 6 years, where she worked on tax reform, reducing mandates and attracting higher wage jobs to Arizona. She has taken a leadership role on a number of issues that have been instrumental in keeping Arizona business­ friendly, and empowering Arizonans. The renewable energy jobs bill she co­sponsored has been credited for already bringing 1,100 new jobs to Arizona. She also sponsored the Research and Development bill – legislation that is bringing much needed venture capital into Arizona. Rep. Reagan believes a thriving economy is vital as we move Arizona forward. She has a proven track record of supporting universities, and our K­12 education system, while realizing that these important priorities are only possible within a strong economy. As a state Senator, Rep. Regan will focus on Jobs, and more Jobs!

Stuart Turnansky Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Now is the time to build a better future for Arizona. As a married father of two children enrolled in public schools, a family physician, and small business owner, I understand the problems our great State currently faces. The time for partisan political bickering is over. We need to create new and sustainable jobs, more available and affordable healthcare, and better and more relevant education for our students. In a State blessed with abundant sunshine we must become a world leader in the technology and implementation of solar power production. We need to preserve and protect our environment to insure the viability of our tourist and agricultural industries. 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.

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: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.electkriekard.com Being a legislator is about being a leader. I have served in leadership positions for more than 30 years, working from an organizational vision that has helped inspire individuals and institutions to greater achievement. Our elected officials need to look to the long term, work together, and make the tough decisions that will get our state back on track. I applied these skills during my 37 years in public education, including serving as a school administrator in Scottsdale and retiring in 2009 as superintendent of the Paradise Valley Unified School District. I will continue to do so as your state representative. These skills are needed in our legislature to move Arizona forward. Of the many issues important to Arizonans, the three I believe are critical are education, the economy, and sustainability. Education is the foundation of Arizona’s current and future success. Business and industry understand this and will come to and stay in states that support education. As a pro­business fiscal conservative, I believe we must aggressively improve our educational system, create a climate to create jobs and strengthen our economy, and establish an environment that expands use of renewable energy sources while better balancing those that are more finite.

Michelle Ugenti Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.michelleugenti.com Michelle Ugenti is a fresh, common­sense conservative, native Arizonan, ASU business graduate and yes, a former rugby player. With the way our state government functions, that rugby player background might be the thing we need most. Michelle is part of the growing Tea Party movement that has responded to skyrocketing deficits and threats to our core values and freedoms. She believes in truly limited government, a return to our Constitutional principles, and lower taxes and free­enterprise solutions to create a business­friendly climate. She is an unabashed conservative who is pro­life and pro­family. She is also a huge fan of our 2nd Amendment. She believes in secure borders and was a proponent for SB1070 to help fight illegal immigration, rallying fellow Republicans, Tea Partiers and independents alike to support it. Her speech to more than 1,000 people on illegal immigration remains popular on YouTube and she has earned the endorsement of the bill’s author, State Senator Russell Pearce, as well as endorsements from conservatives like Don Goldwater and others. This proud wife and mother is ready to get to work on behalf of Arizona and asks for your vote.

When I first ran for the House, I promised to protect your tax dollars, fight illegal immigration, and advocate for parental school choice. 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 job­ friendly, limit property tax increases, protect your Second Amendment rights, and support pro­ life, pro­family social policies. I’ve received numerous awards, including: Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, and Legislator of the Year. As a member of the Peoria school board, I helped bring transparency and fiscal accountability to PUSD. Academic achievement has increased despite significant revenue reductions. With your help, I can fight for the same efficiencies in state government. Help me continue to crack down on illegal immigration, reform the tax code, improve education and protect families. Please vote Rick Murphy for State Senate.

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.

Sheri is supporting PUSD education in our district, public safety and jobs creation in Arizona. Our current representatives have failed us on district education funding, public safety and stable secure jobs. Sheri is married with children, lives in Peoria with her family. She cares about our neighborhood and the State of Arizona. Sheri has the experience we need to deliver what Arizonans really want, a Citizen Senator. With over a decade of experience at the Attorney General’s Office and as Deputy Director addressing community concerns at the Governor’s Office. Sheri has what it takes to be our next Citizen Senator. Arizona is on the wrong track, and our current legislators continue to push our state down the wrong track. Too many Arizonans are losing their jobs, and Arizona’s schools are under­funded, but our current legislators continue to eagerly cut education and jobs. Our current legislators continue to give away tax breaks to big corporations and the rich, while middle­class families pay for it. Sheri will fight for job security, education and public safety. We need a new Citizen Senator in LD9, not more career politicians. www.sheri4senate.com

Now, I am running for the AZ Legislature because I think that decisions made over the last few years are moving Arizona in the wrong direction. Arizona needs new leadership committed to moving Arizona forward by using solar and other renewable energy. 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.

Her pragmatic, problem­solving approach to difficult issues made her the leader on issues like education accountability and student performance. Gray has a successful record of supporting increased funding for teachers, school facilities and supported Prop 100. Gray chairs the Public Safety and Human Services Committee and is the only legislator to serve on the National Safety Council’s Drug and Alcohol Committee. She has a long record of supporting law enforcement and voted for SB1070 to help crack down on illegal immigration. She is endorsed by Police and Fire Associations, the Phoenix Chamber and NFIB, as well as the NRA. Gray fought to protect ASU­West while her opponent sits on the downtown­Phoenix ASU Council that forced thousands of students out of the West Valley and into the downtown campus. Why did he do that? Because he is working for the same downtown­Phoenix interests that have dominated Arizona politics for too long. He’s a 2nd­generation politician who raised more than $100,000 from the same old Democrat Party machine. Linda asks for your vote to keep the West Valley’s strong voice in the State Senate.

Justin Johnson Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: http://johnson4arizona.com/ The love I have for our community began at an early age. I grew up in a family that believed everybody should have a voice in government and that we must work hard to better our community. Today, I see our community facing many difficulties, as our legislators continue their partisan squabble that recently produced a cut in funding for education, a rise in property taxes, and a tax and regulatory system that doesn’t attract businesses and jobs to our State. As a former Sunnyslope Viking, a proud father and caring husband, it hurts me to see unemployed and cash­strapped neighbors concerned about losing their homes. We deserve better from our legislature. Our leaders must put aside party politics to focus on the real issues: a favorable business environment to attract jobs, a better education for every child, and a government that is focused on Arizonans. By Election Day, our goal is to walk every street in our district, and talk to every neighbor, to show that I am willing to put in the effort to reach out, to hear their concerns, and to represent them, and not a party, in our Arizona Senate.

Today, I serve on the Washington Elementary School Governing Board. 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. District 10 deserves representation that is focused on all Arizona issues,not just divisive wedge issues. Public policy is more complicated than simple talking points repeated over and over. It's about time, energy, determination, and honesty. I believe strong public service is doing the heavy lifting to affect positive changes, however large or small. If elected I will advocate for common sense immigration reform, improved K­12 public education,and for a comprehensive strategic plan for job creation and diversifying Arizona's economy. I am asking you to give me a chance and try something new in District 10. Are you happy with your representation right now? If not please visit aarondistrict10.com and vote for Aaron Jahneke this November! Thank you very much!

Jackie Thrasher Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.jackiethrasher.com Jackie Thrasher is a respected community leader who taught in the Washington School District for 30 years and is a former State Representative. Firefighters, teachers and public safety organizations have endorsed Jackie’s campaign because she will put our state’s well being ahead of career politicians’ agendas. Our families deserve better than the failed leadership we currently have in the Arizona legislature. Their decisions led to the largest cuts to education in our state’s history, an increase in your property and sales taxes, devastating cuts to public safety, health care for seniors and children and the closure of state parks across Arizona. And what do we have to show for all of that? An unbalanced budget and a growing deficit. It’s time to get real about solving our problems. Jackie Thrasher will attract new jobs for Arizonans, fix our broken tax code by fighting against hidden tax increases and special loopholes for the rich and ensure public safety. We need to retain and attract new businesses to create well paying jobs; that is why Jackie Thrasher will make fixing our schools her number one priority. Arizona needs a change. Elect Jackie Thrasher and together we will get Arizona back on track.

James Weiers Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.jimweiers.com Arizona is at a crossroads. Go back to the same over­spending failed policies of the Napolitano years, or shrink government and give taxpayers and businesses of this state the fresh start they need. To get back on track we need to get state government out of the way of the private sector so that Arizona businesses, large and small, can grow, hire new employees, and lead us out of this economic mess. We need to enforce our immigration laws. I’m proud to have voted “Yes” on SB1070 while every Democrat in the Legislature chose to play politics and vote “No”. It’s a shame when candidates make unrealistic promises and tell voters whatever they want to hear just to get elected or, just as bad, grandstand on what is not working. I’m interested in solutions not spreading blame. Our hopes and dreams start with a responsive Government that understands that accountability and integrity is the foundation necessary to keep the dream alive for our children and grandchildren. I have always been a legislator that can be trusted to put Arizona first; my record on education, family issues, taxes/spending, immigration, and more is consistent with that. I ask for your vote.

We need honest leaders­­leaders we can trust. I bring to this position real Capitol experience, having served as staff to the Senate Education Committee, State Board of Education, State Treasurer’s Office and two governors. You can count on my experience in the areas of education and the budget. I will be a responsible steward of your hard­earned tax dollars. As the daughter of a retired teacher, I know the importance of paying teachers the salaries they deserve and allocating funding directly to students and classrooms. My husband and I are small business owners, so I understand the need to revitalize our economy by creating a business­friendly environment that attracts employers and jobs. A local newspaper describes me as a “pragmatic, thoughtful” candidate who “values the importance of bipartisanship” and “could help foster rational discourse at the Legislature.” I am a strong supporter of SB1070 and am committed to blocking Obamacare and other attempts by the federal government to take over our lives and our liberty. I kindly ask for your vote.

As an educator and a community leader, and not a career politician, I will lead the fight to improve education, create jobs and protect District 11’s neighborhoods. A graduate of Northern Arizona University, I attended undergraduate school on a music scholarship and continued at NAU, receiving my Master’s in special education. My career was spent in special education, teaching, being an administrator, owning an educational publishing company, teaching at the college level, and finally serving as a program specialist with the Arizona Department of Education. In 1988, I won election to the Madison Elementary School Board and served as president of the Board in 1990 and 1991. I also served our community by bringing Race for the Cure to Phoenix in 1993. When I set my mind to a project, the record has shown I successfully get the job done through my ability to build consensus in order to effectively move the agenda forward. I will be your advocate in the Senate for children and for vulnerable populations in Arizona. I’m asking you to vote for me this fall to to move Arizona forward!

Adam Driggs Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.adamdriggs.com As a District 11 native, it has been my honor to serve you in the Arizona House of Representatives. This year I was honored as the 2010 Legislator of the Year by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. My professional and legislative experience will be crucial as we tackle the challenges still facing our great state. As a small business owner, I know the important role our state plays in creating an atmosphere for economic growth. As a former criminal prosecutor and an expert in federal immigration law, my practical knowledge in this controversial area serves the state well, as I have worked with other legislators to create sound immigration policy. My greatest priority is education, which is crucial to the development of Arizona’s future workforce. As a father of school­aged children, I have a particular interest in improving the educational opportunities for all Arizona children. We must prepare them for the 21st Century job market. I care about Arizona’s future and will provide our state with the strong leadership it needs. I ask for your vote, and pledge to do all I can to continue to serve you and improve Arizona in the State Senate. Please visit my website at adamdriggs.com.

I’m a third generation Arizonan. I was born into a ranching family and raised in southern Arizona. I graduated with honors from the University of Arizona. I worked as a community banker for over twelve years, lending to small businesses. I helped many businesses grow and I understand that business, not government, is the greatest source of Arizona’s economy. I spent nearly a decade on the Washington School Board, serving four terms as Board President. I balanced budgets, lowered property taxes and reduced spending while directing needed resources to the classroom. While on the school board I was appointed by the governor to the Arizona School Facilities Board, and subsequently reappointed as Board Chair. I’ve been a mother for almost 24 years. Our three sons attended our excellent public schools where they earned a great education. As a mother, banker and community leader, I’ve stuck by my principles, developed patience and persistence and learned how to work with people to get things done. For these reasons, I am the best candidate for District 11.

Eric Meyer Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.EricforAz.com It has truly been an honor to serve the citizens of Arizona as a first term legislator. 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 critical medical funding for our most vulnerable children. We had better options to address our state’s economic crisis. If elected, I will use my economics degree, background as a physician, and experience on the Scottsdale School Board to be a sensible voice at the legislature representing 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 respectfully ask for your vote. Sincerely, Eric Meyer M.D Endorsed by Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Phoenix Chamber, Teachers, Fire Fighters, Police, Arizona Association of Realtors, Arizona Medical Association. www.EricforAz.com

Eric West Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.VoteEricWest.com My name is Eric West. I’m optimistic that with the right leadership, government can do what it should be doing. I want to serve as your State Representative to promote job creation, secure our border, reform our education system, lower health care costs, and reduce frivolous lawsuits. As a husband and father of two young children, I believe all children deserve a quality education and parents should be involved in their child's education. We need to prioritize government spending in order to invest in programs that will grow our economy and meet the needs of our community. I am a real estate attorney at Jennings Strouss and have years of experience in commercial banking and financial planning at Bank of America. I earned a law degree and engineering degree from Stanford University and an engineering degree from the University of Arizona. I am a graduate of Corona del Sol High School. Like you, I am frustrated by the status quo. The Democrat incumbent promises to continue the "fighting" at our capitol. I’d rather bring people together to find common sense solutions and balance our state budget. Please vote for Eric West on November 2. Thank you very much. www.VoteEricWest.com

Growing up in Litchfield Park, I attended Litchfield Elementary, Western Sky Middle School and Agua Fria High School. I rounded out my Arizona education by attending Arizona State University obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. After graduation I decided to teach preschool in a children's home, for children displaced by the AIDS pandemic, in South Africa. I returned home and began working as a Securities and Annuities Agent for a mutual fund company in Scottsdale, where I am still currently employed. Arizona’s future is at a crossroads. One road follows the policies of the past, a path filled with broken budgets, unfunded schools, and economic depression. The other path holds the promise of a better future. A future where our legislators give our students and teachers the resources they need to succeed. A future where emerging technologies provide the economic engine to drive Arizona's recovery. A future where our first responders have the tools that they need to protect our communities. I would be honored to provide the representation for the voters in Legislative District 12, to get our state back on the right track.

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!

That is why I am proud to be endorsed by Teachers, the Phoenix Chamber, and Public Safety Officers. Today, however, Arizona is on the wrong track. We must: 1) balance the state budget and pay off our debt; 2) recruit and retain highly qualified teachers; 3) decrease K­12 class sizes; 4) grow jobs through an internationally competitive business environment; 5) secure our border; 6) get the federal government to do its job and enact permanent immigration reform. I look forward to serving the West Valley using the skills and work ethic that enabled me to obtain my bachelors’ degrees from UT Austin, and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford. I will use my experiences solving problems at NASA centers, UofA, and ASU, to find solutions to our state problems. Unlike my opponents, I am not a career politician entrenched in our failed legislature; I am just a citizen who wants to get our state back on track. Together, we can restore opportunity and prosperity to Arizona.

Justin Dahl Party: Green Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.electjustindahl.com Our future is tied to energy, we need to work to use electricity more wisely and produce it more efficiently. In 2008 Germany produced 3800 Million kilowatt hours of solar power. The United States only produced 843 Million Kilowatt hours. Arizona alone should be able to out produce Germany. We are similar in size and the city of Phoenix boasts over 300 days of sunshine per year. The good news is this is a great opportunity for us. We must increase our efforts to make Arizona a clean energy cluster for both photovoltaic and thermal solar companies and scientists. The emphasis now should be on supporting research and development, to help the solar industry become increasing cost efficient. Research and development is the key to high paying jobs which stimulate our entire local economy. Clean, safe and cheap energy is the holy grail of economic development in the 21st century. The Green Party has new ideas. Vote Green in 2010!

Steve Montenegro Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.MontenegroAZ.com I have kept my campaign promises, worked hard, and gotten some great legislation passed. My transparency bill requires state and local governments to post contracts and expenditures on the Internet so that every taxpayer can see where their money is going. I was named “Champion of the Taxpayer” because of my pro­taxpayer record. I was also the principal sponsor of Prop 107, the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative to end discrimination in public education, contracts and hiring. I have been fortunate to serve alongside Rep. Jerry Weiers. As Chairman of the House Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee, Jerry has been a leader in protecting Luke Air Force Base and has been great to learn from. Together, we have helped pass major spending cuts while protecting education, passed SB1070 to help deter illegal immigration, and restored our 2nd Amendment right to carry. In fact, Jerry and I both earned “A+” ratings from the NRA. Now we’re being challenged by the same liberal Democrat that voters rejected in 2008, and she wants to spend more than ever before. Join with us to send a message to the big spenders that it is time for real reform. Thank you for your support!

The good news is here in Arizona we are cutting spending, refocusing our state government on the things it ought to be doing, and have passed meaningful reforms to improve education, health care, and public safety. We passed SB1070 and continue to defend it against attacks from liberal Democrats and the Obama Administration. I am proud to have been the driving force behind this year’s Prop 109 that will guarantee our right to hunt and fish in the Arizona Constitution. I worked with a large variety of sportsmen and conservation groups to build a coalition, and it’s a great example of what we can do when we work together. I am also proud to be running with my seatmate ­­ Steve Montenegro. He is very solid, very hard­working and got some great bills passed. Together we have worked to protect Luke Air Force Base and to bring the F­35 to the West Valley. That means jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars to our West Valley economy. I hope you approve of the job we’re doing and ask for your vote!

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.

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.

Chad grew up in and around District 14, and is committed to improving our neighborhoods. Chad has established himself as a voice of common sense in the Arizona legislature. In just his second term, he was elected by his peers to serve as the House Democratic Whip. He was also asked by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to join the O'Connor House Project in working to reform state government and make it more efficient, transparent, and accountable. 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. He called for fair tax reform that would have saved Arizonans' money while closing corporate tax loopholes and balancing our budget. Arizona needs leadership now more than ever, and once re­elected Chad is committed to leading with the same principles he has always held: common sense, hard work, and putting Arizona first.

Debbie McCune Davis Party: Democrat 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.

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.

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!

Katie Hobbs Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.katiehobbs.org I’m a native Arizonan and I’ve lived in District 15 with my family for 14 years. 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.

I joined the Army when I was 17 and was NOT instilled with my core values of: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and Submitted personal courage (LDRSHIP). However, my passion and enthusiasm to create change came from being part of my community. I am the only Green Party candidate running in our district and believe it's important to represent the 10 Key Values of The Green Party: Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice and Equal Opportunity, Ecological Wisdom, Decentralization, Non­violence, Community­based Economics and Economic Justice, Feminism and Gender Equity, Respect for Diversity, Personal and Global Responsibility, and Future Focus and Sustainability.

Fiscal Philosophy: I believe in a balanced budget, fair taxation across all economic boundaries, true cost pricing, living wages, banking and insurance reform, and reduction of sales­tax dependency.

Les White Party: Independent Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: Photo As citizens, we are in serious trouble. Our banks are not lending, unemployment is on the rise, NOT housing values slide downward, and our schools are not receiving the intended funds meant to Submitted improve the education our children should be receiving. Instead, we have a high crime rate to contend with that is a by­product of poor representation in this district. Our liberties are being assaulted by our “representatives.” Increased taxes and an increased burden on individuals that have entrusted representatives to serve their community, “we the people” are an endless financial resource they can tap into to increase their revenue and deplete our community resources. My name is Les White and I am running for office to help solve these issues. Having lived in Central Phoenix for 25 years, a parent to a child in this school district, I know the issues plaguing our community. Crime and economic problems have always been priority issues in this area. Now it’s time for new leadership. The priorities that I believe are important to our community are: Promote Small Business, Education, Crime Reduction, Protect homeowners, Protect the US Constitution. Les White ­Independent because parties don’t represent the people.

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.

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 humbly ask for your vote. Learn more at www.GallegoForArizona.com.

Mike Gular Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: WWW.GularforAZHouse.com I am running because it is the duty of qualified citizens to serve their country by holding public office. Yet in our district representation is handed down from family member to family member, with people getting elected just because their name is familiar to voters. The people of District 16 deserve better… The people of Arizona deserve better. I bring 25 years of work experience with me in the government, public, private, and non­profit sectors including over 10 years of budgeting experience managing budgets of up to $1 billion annually. I will bring a fresh perspective on bringing production business to Arizona. My opponents are primarily special interest politicians who only offer more taxes and more social program spending. I support just two special interests: the citizens of District 16 and the citizens of Arizona. Its time that we elected qualified people to office who can manage a State government. Serving in public office is not a vocation; it is an honor and a privilege. With my background and experience, I am qualified to help lead Arizona back on the road to prosperity. I ask for your vote and support! In Liberty, Michael Gular

Catherine Miranda Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Catherine Hernandez Miranda comes from a family of four sisters and one brother. Family roots in District 16 began with her mother Ysabel Santana Hernandez’s passion for church work at St. Catherine’s and Immaculate Heart Church. Her father, Robert Hernandez, a Korean War paratrooper in the 11th American Airborne was a proud member of American Legion Post 41. Another bond with District 16 was her father’s construction work; building Ocotillo Library and Salvation Army center. Raised in the Jorgenson neighborhood near Bishop Henry Barnwell’s Missionary Baptist church where her athletic talents took her from all star fame, to East High basketball and scholarship offers from South Mountain Community College and Arizona State University.

My three main issues are: building a strong Arizona economy, ecological wisdom and social justice. I’m a native Arizonan, have lived in South Phoenix for 20 years, and graduated from Arizona State University(1986) with a B.A. in Organizational Communication. A 23­year airline employee, I served on my bargaining unit’s first contract negotiating committee (2005­07), and have been a union shop steward (Teamsters Local 104) since 2005. Because of this “Great Recession”, I believe it is important that my fellow Arizonans understand the advantages of being a union member—job security, better wages and benefits, and a grievance procedure to handle disputes with management. To build a strong Arizona economy, we need a strong middle­class, and to do that, we need strong unions. The protection of our environment begins with the immediate conversion to a solar­ hydrogen economy. Water conservation must become a priority. On the issue of migration, we must address the root causes: poverty and lack of economic opportunity, wars and political conflict, and environmental catastrophe. Visit my website at http://www.angeltorres.org. Vote for Angel on November 2nd!

After the national embarrassment our state has received due to the recent activities of the legislature, I believe it is time for change. It’s time to make third parties a viable alternative, which we can do by voting. I believe that applying the Libertarian principles of freedom and choice would greatly benefit the citizens of District 17 and Arizona. 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 solely on growth. That means using tax credits for public education. That means ending the expensive and pointless wars on drugs and immigrants. That means limited government and fewer welfare programs. 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.

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.

Resistance to private and home schooling. Acceptance of unconstitutional, debt riddled Obamacare: opposition to proposition 106. Abortion advocacy including endorsement by, and appearances for, Planned Parenthood which champions such compassionate activities as partial birth abortion. Marriage redefinition: judicial activism usurping popularly voted initiatives; hate crime legislation. Policywise, joining Democrat Congressmen in their standing ovation of Calderon lecturing Arizona on SB1070: Open borders; periodic amnesty; enforcement last­if­ever; “compassion” excluding the growing population of violent and other crime victims; the insupportable health care and education burden. Attempt to remove Arizona's Right to Work status. Manmade global warming gullibility: cap and trade. Bypassing U.S Constitution supremacy (which legislators swear to uphold) with U.N., Sharia and other workarounds. In contrast, our legislature, since Napolitano's getaway, has become a model other states seek to imitate of fiscal restraint, sensible social legislation, and compensation for federal malfeasance.

Gregor Knauer Party: Green Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: gregorknauer.com The Arizona Green Party stands for health, fairness and responsibility. One of our core values, community­based economics, speaks directly to job creation, exploration of public/private partnerships, encouraging cooperative ventures and developing local enterprises. I propose expanding the tax base, reducing tax on labor. Certainly we must end tax exemptions, abatements and incentives for polluters. I will respectfully analyze and synthesize the complex issues before us as we make up for budget shortfalls. Seeking common ground, I will keep an open mind and an open heart. The time has come for clean renewable energy generation (solar and wind, not carbon, not nuclear.) We must redouble our commitment to clean air, conservation of water, and wise land use. We need improved public transportation like buses for our cities and towns, with rail links throughout the state. Long­term job promotion comes hand­in­hand with premium education at all levels. The arts especially are integral to nurturing imagination and innovation. Full human rights must be guaranteed, including sexual orientation and gender identity. It will be a great honor to serve in our citizen legislature, as we approach the 100th year of statehood in optimism and faith.

A two party agenda has taken our liberties,whether they be civil liberties or economic freedom.We do not need more talk, we need common sense and real solutions. 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 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. My opponent on the other side thinks taxes are too low. 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, which are another form of tax disguised as safety. I can no longer sit and watch as AZ Citizens are sold a bunch of bogus bills. Government inserting itself in our lives, everything from who you can marry to theft of our money for special interests, it must stop. Both sides have made promises and failed to deliver on those promises.

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 and 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.

Andrew Sherwood Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: sherwood4senate.com This year’s election is about more than just immigration. It’s about your jobs, your kid’s and grandkid’s education, and getting our state’s fiscal house back in order. It’s about returning to that Main Street value of making sure government isn’t creating more problems than it solves. Since my opponent was elected in 2002, Mesa has continually lost industries and jobs. On his watch we have lost businesses, residents and our prestige. We went from surplus to a debt so deep he had to take out 20­year “title loans” on state buildings to fool us into thinking he balanced the budget. Worst of all, he raised Mesa’s property taxes. I am running for State Senate because we can’t afford any more of this kind of leadership. We must ensure the economic climate in Arizona attracts business instead of repelling it. We must ensure that our children get a world­class education so they can compete in a global economy. We must balance the budget without stealing money away from our cities and towns, and we must solve the immigration problem rather than perpetuating it.

Michael Conway Party: Democrat 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 (human­animal hybrids) instead of working together to solve real problems facing real Arizona families. Polling shows discontentment with the job the Legislature is doing. We can't continue recycling the same politicians and expect 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 (tax­system overhaul) over short­term gain (selling state assets). 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 neither Republican nor Democratic. They are Arizona issues. Join me in writing this new bipartisan chapter in Arizona's history. I need your “single shot” vote. Together, we can get Arizona back on track.

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.

This does, however, make the option of running for office more available to regular people. I also question candidates who feel they must spend huge sums to get elected and wonder how they will protect our tax dollars if/when they get elected. I don't like looking at the signs on corners and think they are counter­productive. Even if I could afford them I wouldn't use them. I think lawmakers should be very careful with taxpayer money, consider the impact of bills on law abiding citizen's rights and liberties and should vote on only one issue at a time, one issue per bill. In closing please vote for me!

Kit Filbey Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.voteforkit.com It’s time to stop fighting over ideologies and partisan politics, and time to start working together to create common sense solutions for the people of Arizona. We continue to lose jobs and have not balanced our budget. I will work to create tax incentives to bring business to Arizona and close tax loopholes that benefit special interests. The quality of our public education is at risk. Local schools are blamed for larger class sizes and program cuts, but their hands are tied when lawmakers slash funding. Still, our legislature is threatening to make further cuts. As the only District 19 legislative candidate endorsed by the Arizona Education Association, I will work to make education a priority in Arizona. My diverse background allows me to see issues from multiple perspectives; I am president and owner of Maxion Systems (a facility service company); active in the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, Mesa Baseline Rotary, and Superstition Toastmasters; a graduate of Mesa Leadership Training and Development; and the former Chair of District 19 Democrats. I am a former teacher and a former elected member of a board of education. Your vote matters. A vote for KIT is a vote for Common Sense not Nonsense.

My positions are well­established and clearly outlined in ATRA publications, in statements in the press, and in testimony before legislative committees. My positions are not empty campaign promises.

We must secure our borders and enforce our laws. I am honored to include among my supporters Senator Chuck Gray, Senator Russell Pearce, Congressman Trent Franks, and former Legislator Rusty Bowers.

I will articulate solutions to the budget crisis—­solutions that will do no further harm to our already fragile economy. I ask for your support on Election Day.

Bob Robson Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: Bob Robson, Republican candidate for Arizona House of Representatives, District 20 understands the legislative process and how to get things done. As a former legislator and community leader, the challenges of the current economic situation are not new, but have been abandoned in many cases to achieve political goals. When the next legislative session begins, we have to be ready to deal with the budget problems. Bob knows which problems need to be solved now and which ones can be dealt with later. As a fiscal conservative, he has a short agenda: solve the budget crisis, grow Arizona’s economy, create and retain jobs, secure the border and preserve Arizona’s education infrastructure. There is a lot of work to be done, and Bob Robson will prioritize the issues. The economic issues can’t wait. Bob’s background and experience has prepared him to meet these challenges and bring other legislators to consensus to get Arizona on solid financial ground. Your vote for Bob Robson is a vote for sound fiscally conservative solutions. Robson has been endorsed by the Professional Firefighters of AZ, The Arizona Police Association, and the Arizona Highway Patrol Association. Please vote for Bob Robson by early ballot or election day.

Linda Macias Party: Green Campaign Funding: Participating Web: http://www.newmenu.ore/lindamacias Registered with the Democratic Party since I started voting – it was difficult seeing the party leave me. In 2006, as 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 special interest money for campaigns. I will find a more economical and less cumbersome path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants looking for unfilled work ­ their work and taxes will benefit Arizona. I will fight to protect and fund public education, the ultimate future economic engine of Arizona. I will support new electoral reforms that will increase the voice of all voters. I will promote a ‘Medicare for All’ type health care system. VOTE GREEN

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. I humbly ask for your continued support so I can continue to work on behalf of you.

Steve Smith Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.electstevesmith.com I’m a pro­life conservative who stands for GOD, FAMILY, and COUNTRY, and quite frankly, career politicians like Rebecca Rios seem to care more about getting re­elected than about the people who put them there. After over 20 years of the Rios family in the legislature, enough is enough! Senator Rios seems to view her job as just voting “No” on every Republican idea. When SB1070 was introduced to give our law enforcement the tools they wanted, Republicans voted “Yes” and every Democrat in the Legislature voted “No”, including Rios. We face a $3 Billion+ deficit, yet Rios spent over a year voting “No” on every budget bill that contained cuts. She also refused to offer an alternative budget when asked for one. That’s just old­school politics and the voters are tired of it. My goal would be to stop all state funding of illegal aliens and to finally secure our border. Additionally, we must reduce taxes on individuals and small businesses, we need a real balanced budget and real education reform, and we need to reject Obamacare. Rios will not, I will. This race will have a huge impact on our state. I ask you to stand with me.

John Fillmore Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: Our State government seems broken and spends your money while not caring about the debt they have built. I am a veteran, businessman, and entrepreneur, and I know how difficult it is to make payroll and provide health insurance. 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.

Jack Kretzer Party: Libertarian Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: The election cycle of 2010 will be a bookmark in history. Incumbent representatives for District 24 have contributed to the fiscal chaos of the state of Arizona. This means that the two­party system governing our state has failed the citizens and taxpayers they have sworn to represent. The new sales tax is an example of the gimmicks employed by the Legislature to delay making fiscally responsible decisions that will stabilize government and offer a positive message to Arizonans. The solution for fiscal stability is quite simple, but it will require the sharing of ‘burden’ to counties, cities, school districts, and our university systems, since our governance systems are based on sharing revenues. The concept of ‘shared burden’ is based on keeping all government workers employed. In the past couple of years the Legislature and Governor have focused on cutting jobs without consideration of the services reduced and the impact on the unemployed. Employed workers spend more. If the state were short by 10%, there would be an across­the­board pay reduction from the Governor to the lowest paid worker. That would require the school districts, cities, counties, and universities to make similar across­the­board pay reduction. JACK Belongs to You.

Don Shooter Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.DonShooter.com If I am elected to the State Senate, my first priority would be to bring jobs to Yuma and all of District 24. I would do this by creating a business­friendly climate in Yuma and throughout the state. This would be accomplished by reducing taxes and eliminating burdensome government regulations on business. We can unleash the productivity of the free enterprise system, and allow the American people to do what they do best, which is to create wealth and posterity for us all. The best form of "welfare" is a good paying job! By reducing taxes and regulations, we can get an increased number of small businesses to relocate to Arizona from more heavily taxed and regulated states, like California. Yuma has so many great things going for it: we have water, a great climate for farming and recreation, a plentiful labor market,and we are located next to the California markets for our products,and on and on. But, what we haven’t had is vision and leadership to maximize these assets. As your next State Senator, I hope to provide that type of vision and leadership!

I have the leadership skills and the experience needed to be an effective voice for our district. JOBS and economic stability of our State and local communities is a high priority for me. I believe in LIMITED GOVERNMENT, PERSONAL RESPPONSIBILITY, LOWER TAXES, and the FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM. I believe we have a duty and responsibility to SECURE THE BORDER, enforce our laws and protect the citizens of this state. Border Security is National Security. I also have the background to work on other important issues, including the PROTECTION OF PROPERTY AND WATER RIGHTS… EDUCATION EXCELLENCE, ensuring taxpayers dollars make it to the classroom to help students and teachers improve academic achievement… and Veterans Issues.

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 have a number of Democrat friends and each of them shares the same frustration ­­ That our Democrat legislators largely view their job as going to the Capitol and just voting AGAINST everything just to try stopping Republicans from passing anything. With Arizona facing a $3 Billion deficit, Rep. Fleming voted “No” on budget cuts. With illegal immigration a crisis across our state, Rep. Fleming voted “No” on SB1070. On issue after issue her record was a series of “No” votes, one right after another. We need to be able to put partisanship aside when campaigns are over and we need to govern with the best interests of Arizona and our district in mind. I’m proud to be running with Rep. David Stevens because he has done this. I know and deeply love our district, and I am running because we need an effective partner for David, who will work to dig us out of our fiscal hole while looking after Southern Arizona and priorities like our schools, hospitals, police and fire. Rep. Fleming’s liberal record is a better fit for Washington, D.C. than our State Capitol. I ask for your vote so I can vote FOR us.

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.

A strong public education system provides numerous benefits: more jobs at higher wages, less dependency on welfare programs, lower prison population and an overall higher quality of life. Currently, businesses that value public education and require an educated workforce are bypassing Arizona. When people hear ‘Arizona’ I want them to think ‘opportunity, diversity, progress and natural beauty.’ As your State Senator I will fight to make Arizona synonymous with exceptional public education, world­ class universities and real opportunities for job growth (emphasis on solar, bio­tech, research and development). I will fight to keep the Gem Show in Tucson and fight against privatization of our state parks and prisons. My opponent’s vision is quite different. His economic idea: costly, water demanding nuclear power plants and dangerous nuclear waste storage. He voted to cut all­day kindergarten, adult education programs and against Prop 100. He voted FOR payday lenders and favors prisoners working in our schools. This election could decide Arizona’s future for decades. I offer a plan for recovery and will be an advocate for southern Arizona. I ask for your vote!

Al Melvin Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.senatormelvin.com In my first term, we faced a staggering deficit that we tackled by reducing spending more than $2 Billion, while protecting education and public safety. My opponent’s “sky is falling” rhetoric regarding education cuts is political theater. The real data is on my website at www.senatormelvin.com. While cutting more than 20% of our overall budget, K­12 funding was reduced approximately 5%, from approximately $9,700 to $9,200 per student. As a teacher myself, I’m grateful for the support and endorsements of parents, teachers and public safety organizations who recognize how hard we worked. My liberal opponent wants BILLIONS in new taxes and spending we cannot afford, supports Obamacare, Cap and Trade, and was trained as a candidate by the far­left Progressive Majority (www.progressivemajority.org). You rejected her in 2008 and her positions have become even more extreme. Southern Arizona needs rational, responsible leadership, not far­left extremism. I voted for SB1070, my opponent opposes it. I support a comprehensive clean­ energy portfolio which she also opposes. I will also continue working towards a ban on texting while driving in order to save lives. I will continue to vote to protect families and taxpayers, boost our economy, and create jobs. I ask for your vote!

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 reduce 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 focus 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. Please call 520.390.9946

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.

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

Kent Solberg Party: Green Campaign Funding: Participating Web: kent4house.org Arizona politicians have mismanaged our state for too long. We deserve better than: a 4.5 billion dollar budget shortfall, the worst public schools in the country, racist legislation that confuses immigration with drugs and violence, and Legislators who give huge tax breaks to their rich buddies and saddle us with higher sales taxes. We need a Legislature that will concentrate on new jobs, especially green jobs that bring living wages and a stronger economy, smarter spending to cut waste and duplication while protecting your critical services, seriously improving public education, and a Legislature that doesn't sell the State House to pay its bills. I've been a small business owner/manager 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.

Ted Downing Party: Independent Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.votedowning.com LD28 needs Ted Downing, an experienced, independent Senator working for Tucson not Phoenix­based Party agendas. Consider job performance. In 4 years representing LD28, Downing passed 86 laws – laws that protect hit­and­run victims, criminalizing stealing dogs for fighting, put the US Constitution and Bill of Rights in every classroom and protect election integrity. Ted cosponsored an energy and fiscal conservation law that has saved our schools millions. Ted solves problems rather than picks fights. He is has a plan to jumpstart the Tucson economy and has a plan to cut the Legislature in half. In 5 years, Aboud “sponsored” 306 bills, but only 35 passed. Yes she fights, but for what? And for whom? She sponsored a bill extending Rio Nuevo funding. She fought Ted Downing’s efforts to amend the bill to let Tucsonans vote on the Rio Nuevo plan and opposed his efforts to put Rio Nuevo expenditures online. Why re­elect a self­described fighter who keeps on losing? Who promises funding she can’t deliver? Why keep an employee who shows up half the time? That’s Paula. What’s her plan? To get reelected to keep fighting Republicans. You deserve better. You deserve results. www.votedowning.com

Dave Ewoldt Party: Independent Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.daveforarizona.org You and I know Arizona is in serious trouble. Our past and current legislators got us in this hole. Doing more of what caused our problems will only dig us deeper, yet both major parties insist there is no alternative. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of party politics. Our current plight is the result of greed and putting band­aids on symptoms rather than dealing with root causes. I know an alternative­­relocalization. We can create a legislative framework to support a sustainable future. I'm experienced in connecting the dots and designing practical, affordable solutions that work for our communities and our unique environment. For example, the middle class is over­taxed while those who benefit most from Arizona's amenities receive tax breaks, exemptions, subsidies, and dodge their responsibility for maintaining these amenities. Making taxation equitable can fund an educational system that prepares us for rapidly changing times, maintain and improve services and infrastructure, and create family­wage jobs that will make us global leaders in steady­ state economies that work for people and planet. As an Independent, I will help take Arizona beyond the crippling status quo to make this a state to be proud of again. www.daveforarizona.org

Ken Smalley Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Participating Web: kensmalleyforrep.com I want to represent district 28 because Arizona needs someone like me who knows how to create jobs and balance a budget. My three decades of entrepreneurial success in Tucson and a Master’s Degree in Business will help me lead Arizona to a speedy economic recovery. Job creation and economic growth are best accomplished by an analytical, not political, problem­ solving approach. I have a bold vision to reduce operating costs in Arizona government and to cut wasteful spending. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated these skills, and I’m determined to make government efficient. Our schools must demonstrate efficiency, too, and innovation is essential to providing a bright future for our children. My time in office will be dedicated to advocating for new ways to overcome the bureaucratic barriers that bloat the educational process. When Arizonans come together as a community, we can solve problems that government can’t. My plan to promote volunteerism will accomplish just that. I am fiercely independent and will strive to represent every independent­thinking voter. I ask for your vote on November 2nd. I’m the candidate with the skill and vision to create jobs, lead Arizona schools into the future, and promote community through volunteerism.

Bruce Wheeler Party: Democrat Campaign Funding: Participating Web: www.wheeler2010.com I am running for the State House of Representatives because I care deeply about Arizona, and believe that the fight for quality public education and job growth are the two most important issues facing Arizonans today. 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 low­income 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.

He’s currently employed as a Defense Industry Program Manager. He’s been married to Lesley, his wife of 17 years, and has two sons. 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. I FOUGHT TO: protect your access to health care; enforce immigration laws (SB1070); reduce spending by 20%; expand your 2nd Amendment rights; and oppose any effort to infringe upon your liberty. I again ask for your vote on November 2nd to continue to serve you and protect your freedoms as your Senator. With Frank Antenori in the State Senate, and David Gowan and Ted Vogt in the State House, you can’t ask for a stronger team to protect freedom.

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, 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 13 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. Our opponent is the same east­coast liberal candidate the voters rejected in 2008, and her plans have actually gotten more expensive since then. We cannot afford more taxes and more spending. I ask for your vote to keep Arizona on the right track!

Ted Vogt Party: Republican Campaign Funding: Traditional Web: www.vogt4arizona.com Ted Vogt was appointed to the Arizona House of Representatives on March 16, 2010, where he went right to work, fighting to return Arizona to fiscal prosperity and reducing the size of government. Vogt quickly assembled an impressive voting record, including votes to restore lost 2nd Amendment rights and to pass SB1070 to give law enforcement the tools it needs to win the fight against illegal immigration. Vogt is a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, serving this country for six years as an intelligence officer—fighting for our country in Afghanistan and throughout the greater Middle East after the terrorist attacks of 911.

Upon leaving active duty, Ted returned home to Tucson and entered law school at the University of Arizona. Ted also relies on his private­sector business experience, as he works to get Arizona’s economy growing again. Ted believes we have more government than we can afford and he can be counted on to protect Southern Arizona’s priorities, schools, hospitals, and military bases. He is effective, honest, dedicated, and asks for your vote.
