PHOENIX — Former attorney general of Arizona Grant Woods, a Republican contemplating a switch in political parties, has endorsed Democrat Dr. Hiral Tipirneni in her congressional bid against incumbent conservative Debbie Lesko.
Woods, the onetime chief of staff to the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, Woods and Tipirneni appeared together at a town hall in Surprise on Tuesday night.
“She’s smart, independent, articulate and understands the complexities of important issues. In other words, she is just what our country needs in Congress,” Woods said of the Congressional District 8 candidate.

Republican Debbie Lesko was pressured into removing campaign signs pointing out that Tipirneni was a "Fake Doctor" despite all her adds showing her in medical settings and apparel.
She hasn't practiced for a decade and prior kind of bounced through ER jobs without much success. She has been a leftist advocate the entire time.
Lesko has not raised a lot of money and Tipirneni has a lot of outside money and is running a lot of TV.
Lesko won by 5% for the temporary seat a few months back but the Democrats see this as a possible "get" and are pouring on the forces.
Opinions on what used to be a "safe seat"?
McCain rumpswab endorses Democrat.
Also, dog bites man.
Mc Lame just won’t go away—his fingerprints are still all over some!!!
Why am I not surprised?
“...and understands the complexities of important issues”
And understands how to amass personal wealth by selling out to globalist interests.

Ever since I got interested in politics I told my beloved that the late Sen McCain was working for the Democrats and that they had something really BIG on him. It’s not a surprise that this former staffer is endorsing Democrats.
In years to come, we’re going to hear some really big and bad news as to what Sen McCain was involved in when he was POW.
agreed. Also “smart, independent and articulate” are not the first qualities I look for in a representative or leader of any kind. just like BO was “eloquent”. puke.
I have been out of town for quite some time so my impressions are just the last few days of local TV.
Is Lesko out of money?
Woods is not a Mormon but is a member of the Arizona Mormon mafia;
Grant: I went to Occidental College undergrad and then I went to ASU Law School. I had a great time. I mean, Mesa’s a great place to grow up. I can’t imagine any better place to grow up. People always ask me, ‘Oh, so are you Mormon?’ Not Mormon. They view me as the one who got away, because I guess I could’ve been, it just didn’t work out that way, you know? I was raised Presbyterian at a Presbyterian church in Mesa. But most of my peers, the majority of them anyway, were Mormon. And they just create a great community, I think because of them primarily, the Mormon church and the members of the church, they care so much about family, about kids, about education, that they just created a place that was fantastic for me to grow up in.

He never was really a Republican, just like McLame and Bloomberg! Being a “republican in AZ is a necessity” to get elected in most offices there.
I went to high school with Woods (Class of ‘72) in Mesa. He was what you call a “Poindexter”. Scrawny, big glasses. He was from the “Country Club” clique, the well dressed kids. he would get bullied and then run back to his country club buddies for help.
He was with McCain right from the start in 1982. I’m hoping to run into him around town to give him my 2 cents.
Thanks for the insight, Joe.
I was bothered at the time of the special election that Lesko only won by five points in a district that gave Trump 20% advantage.
Who knows? Does it matter? She’s up by 8 and not thought in trouble at all.
I voted for Debbie.
What’s his wife, Marlene doing these days?
You never hear about her or see her anymore.
That I don’t know
Is any other Arizonan tired of all these ‘Republicans’ endorsing Democrats? I just figure that these phonies are getting paid to say they are Republicans. I cannot imagine any Conservative endorsing Sinema or Tipirneni!
McCain seemed to be up to his eyeballs in RAT infiltrators.
No wonder the AZ GOP is such a mess.
Just like the farmer in American Gothic, eh?
