Okay, now that is funny.
I live in the district and voted for Garcia. Because he’s a Republican, the media have ignored the fact he’s Hispanic. I call Christy Smith “Katie Hill without the kink.”
For some strange reason Smith has used the fact that Garcia was a military pilot against him in the campaign — as if that somehow makes him unqualified to hold elected office.
It’s a Vote By Mail election and Garcia will win by a large margin.
None of them were fighter pilots.
Gosh, even Katie Hill endorsed Christy Smith! Mike Garcia is a great guy. The Republican problem here, as it will be in every other race this yer, will be BALLOT HARVESTING. Plus whatever means the left is going to spring on us to cheat their way THIS TIME into ‘winning’. (There’s always something new, isn’t there?)
In an aside, Mark Kelly is also pretending he will be ‘an Independent voice’ for Arizona. That is what Sinema said 2 years ago, too. Hard core Leftists who haven’t held political office and cannot be pinned down on how they would actually vote. One thing we KNOW about ‘Mr Giffords’ is that he will take your guns away. He has made that perfectly clear over the last decade or so.
And not only will we in Maricopa County have to fight the ballot harvesting (it IS illegal in Az, but no matter. When have the Dems ever cared about following the Law?), we will be fighting the Uber Leftist Fontes, OurRevolution’s candidate that ‘won’ the County Recorder seat in 2016. Look for Kelly to ‘win’, even though he won’t win IF only LEGAL votes are counted.
