More on Kevin Gibbons and other Legislative Races

It appears like the party faithful are taking notice. First the County Republican chairman weighed in. Now, I got an email forwarded to me from District 18 Chairman Matt Tolman. Here is an excerpt:

"It is this governor and her policies that have strapped this state to the point of financial ruin. It was Mr. Pederson who ran against Senator Kyl, spewing lies and falsehood against the Senator.

How soon will it be before Governor Napolitano and Senator Obama lend their support to his campaign?

How can we trust Mr. Gibbons who wants open borders, who had registered in his name 'Inmigracion Sin Barreras', translated into 'Immigration without Barriers'. His campaign filings also show that most of his financial support is coming from the outside of Maricopa County and from those individuals who are attempting to supplant the will of the people and their passage of the Employer Sanction Law, which requires employers to check a persons legal status before hiring them."

Someone complained to me that I am not covering the other races enough. My reply is that I cover what is exciting and I think interesting to my readers. However, ask and you shall receive. Here is the finance reports for all of the legislative candidates so you can see who they are taking money from:

District 18
Senate:
Russell Pearce
Kevin Gibbons
Judah Nativio

House:
Cecil Ash
Steve Court
Kanani Henderson
Ron Middlebrook
Tammie Pursley

District 19
Senate:
Chuck Gray

House:
Kirk Adams
Rich Crandall
Kathy Romano

District 21 (Partially in Mesa)
Senate:
Jay Tibshraeney

House:
Warde Nichols
Steve Yarbrough
Phil Hettmansperger

District 22 (Partially in Mesa)
Senate:
Thayer Vershoor
Eddie Farnsworth
Joe Bedgood

House:

Since some people are clean elections candidates and other are not, its hard to really compare some of the numbers outright, but it is interesting to see who they are taking donations from.
