Funny you should ask.
Earlier this week, Congressman Raúl Grijalva introduced the Clean Money, Clean Elections Act, which would in essence make Arizona’s Clean Elections System for state office holders the law for federal candidates as well. The bill has been assigned a number, HR 1614, and is also sponsored by Democrat John Tierney and Republican […]
A couple of things that our legislature was up to this week that you may have missed.
On Tuesday, the Committee on Counties, Municipalities and Military Affairs passed HB 2069, an attempt by the state legislature to insert itself in negotiations between Cox Cable and the City of Tucson. Local control is all fine and good […]

The always classy Matt Salmon issued a statement on Jim Pedersen’s resignation as Arizona Democratic Party chairman:
“This institutionalized disorganization within the Arizona Democrat Party is why […]
I was disappointed by this morning’s Political Insider column in the Arizona Republic. Yeah, most of the time, it is written too smugly (it is, after all, a “tounge-in-cheek look at Arizona politics”). This morning, the column consisted of one item, a short one too, about Rep.
