I know Steve Huffman. I can’t say he was a friend of mone… and I can say, happily, that Senator Paton (not Paxton) is NO Steve Huffman!

If you want to defeat Gabby with a real conservative then your man is Jonathan Paton. Anyone trying to push him as some squishy middle-of-the-road “moderate” is kidding themselves. Just ask the old Democrat Machine of Tucson politics that he broke about how moderate Paton is and you’ll hear screams about what a right winger he is. Ask the TUSD administration too!
Look, let’s get through the primary and then unite behind whomever comes out on top. Let’s also NOT create enemies amongst ourselves. Victory is ours if we don’t mess it up!

GOP Boomer Gal… and what is being “in line with our party”??

Here’s a hint; the AzGOP Party Platform

Its spelled out pretty well there – otherwise their use of an (R) after their name is dubious at best.

As for Paxton, the GOP Party Bosses who lost their party platform years ago, will do the same stupid thing they’ve done since Gabby won the seat – snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Platform and Values both social as well as fiscal define a true Republican.

Iris, you’re a hoot!!! ALL our candidates are attractive, and who cares when they became Republicans, if they have views that are in line with our party.

Because of television, ‘attractive’ cannot be ignored. All of the truly ugly politicians are Democrats. There it is OK because they have convinced their base that they are all ugly and not lovable, except by them, of course.

I quote from the article: “Voters are fed up with party hacks.”

BINGO!!!

Hmmm, why is the adjective, ‘attractive,’ relevant to a person’s qualifications?

Is Lindsey Graham a lifelong Republican? Where have you been the past few years? The Republican Party is in third place behind a party that does not exist. Voters care about issues and conviction, not party labels.

Paton isn’t going to run, but at least he is a life-long Republican. Can you say that about every candidate that you are hawking? How about all of them being at least a year-long Republican? Does that have you wondering?

Ms Proud spells her first name with an “i” as in “Terri.” I found the correct spelling on her filing papers with the SoS.

It’s good to see Mr. Franzi is still doing quality work.

All 5 are upstanding men and should run for office, but of these choices, it is Jesse Kelly who will win the nomination. Articulate, bright and physically impressive, he got all of his ducks in a row BEFORE he opened his mouth. There is nothing better to demonstrate the kind of job he WILL do than to demonstrate with the kind of job he has DONE. I do not believe that Jesse will allow himself to get mushy for the GOP and lose this seat for a third time…when do the state leaders ever learn a lesson?

These other fine candidates should look to fill the other jobs we need them to do and Jonathan needs to stay where he has already proven himself.
