On the eve of elections, candidates and committees send out “media advisories” to tell us where to find the candidates for victory speeches or tearful concessions. I got one from Matt Heinz’s campaign yesterday alerting reporters that the candidate would be found at “Matt Heinz’ House near TMC.” Wait, that’s not in LD 29, is [...]
First off, any of you guys and gals realize that next week both Jan Brewer and Ken Bennett will be out of the state? Normally I’d be giving a hearty “hip hip hooray” for la Cervecera being out of office, even if it’s temporarily. This time, however, the feeling is tempered by the fact that [...]

Ron Barber and Matt Heinz appeared at a forum yesterday. It will be broadcast tonight on Arizona Illustrated at 6:30 as well as on KAUZ 89.1. Brady McCombs has a summary of one portion of the debate. Barber brought up Heinz’s vote on HB 2718. The jab came at the end of the debate, and [...]
There are a couple of things post-wise that I’ve kinda let slide in the past couple of weeks. I know that my detractors (yes, even the great bloggers have detractors) will likely ascribe the lack of a response to some of these issues as evidence of…heck, they’ll come up with something on their own. It [...]
Political junkies pore through campaign finance reports like baseball fans go through the Lahman Database. And, in much the same way, it can seem pathetic to outsiders. I poked around in Matt Heinz’s FEC report, and, um…it didn’t take very long. Heinz only raised $33,755 in the last quarter, which is only a shade more [...]
My biggest fan, Horatio, had a little something to tell me: Yo, genius- check the record: http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/sb1621.hthird.1.asp&Session_ID=102 http://www.azleg.gov//FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/sb1621.hthird.2.asp&Session_ID=102 Oh yeah- how did it feel to be 4th in 2008 and 5th 2010? http://www.pima.gov/elections/Past%20Results/res0906.htm http://www.pima.gov/elections/Past%20Results/res0810.htm Something tells me this won’t get approved. Well, not only will I approve it, I’ll go and re-post it. The irony [...]
In case you are curious, Matt Heinz is still running in the CD 2 Democratic primary. He put out a statement today on Ron Barber’s vote on HR 1505, the bill that would suspend protections for public lands under the pretext of border enforcement. This from his press release. Put out, by the way, a [...]
As it turns out, Jesse Kelly won’t run for the full term after all. This from the Tucson Sentinel: “Looking at the results from Tuesday, we have decided to withdraw from the race for Congress in AZ-02 and to seek other opportunities,” Kelly said in the emailed statement. Martha McSally still has a primary opponent [...]
After the jump is this morning’s e-mail from Matt Heinz. The précis is “it’s good that you won; I’m running against you anyway.” Now that the special election has concluded, I want to reaffirm my candidacy for Arizona’s newly drawn 2nd Congressional District. Full text after the jump.
I talked to a couple of pros about that poll that Public Policy Polling released. They came to the same conclusion: that the poll over sampled Democrats. Still, I think there is plenty of good news for Ron Barber. One is the cross tab that shows Barber keeping 90% of Democrats, and Jesse Kelly only [...]
