Ron PaulBarak Obama 

The East Valley Tribune is reporting that Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Ron Paul have established their Arizona campaing teams.

First Barack. The Obama team has opened physical headquarters in both Tucson and Phoenix. Raul Alvillar will serve as the State Director while Mary Hodge moves from the national deputy youth vote director (is that really a position?) to serve as the Arizona State Field Director. Alvillar transitions from the campaign’s Western Political Director. Toni Morales, the Democrats’ former Party Director will move into the role of State Political Director for the Obama campaign.

Barack will appear next Friday at ASU for a rally on Hayden Lawn and for a luncheon at the Wyndham Phoenix.

Ron Paul’s Arizona campaign team has also formed. Serving as co-chairs for the Arizona campaign will be State Senator Karen Johnson (LD 18) and Goldwater Institute Co-Founder, Roy Miller.

Paul’s team has not set up an office in Arizona nor does it have any campaign events scheduled.
