Salmon was as I recall a somewhat conservative congressman, but was never reliable.
Lake has at least SAID the right things about the audit and everything else.
I have known Matt and his wife Nancy personally for decades. He is honest. He is one of the few (now former) US Congressmen who kept their term limits promise from the time he was originally elected. When in Congress, he refused to personally benefit financially from insider information; something that most Congress criters cannot honestly say.
After the 3 terms he promised, he stepped down. He is politically quite conservative... His political “sin” was that back in the time when Mitt Romney was a candidate for President, Salmon helped Romney fund raise. A big mistake when he has since come to regret completely when Romney’s true colors became apparent.
It’s true. Matt lost the Gov. race that year by the slimmest of margins. Main reasons: the Dems put Indian Reservation Gambling on the ballot that year which drew out a ton of never-before-voted people who voted for Gaming (Salmon was opposed to the Initiative), plus there was a small but very real anti-Mormon vote among a subset of AZ Republicans.
Freedom Caucus has three Arizona Congressmen.
Gosar is backing Lake, Biggs is backing Salmon, and Lesko is backing Yee.
Take your choice here.
Post 9/11 some wrong decisions were made if this person didn’t like George W. Bush I would say she had more common sense that a lot of us did back then.
We were still letting that guy fool us too many times.
My turning on GWB started up when the Bush Brothers put Terri Schiavo to death through both inaction and pretend action to cool off public opinion.
Trump made the call I’m with Trump.
Lindseed Graham is also backing Salmon.
He is backed by all the establishment rinos in the congress.
I will be voting for you Mr. Salmon.
Plate of shrimp
Sometime democrat, Obama girl, media personality, woman of color. Trump is changing the party with this?! Was she for the war before she was against it? Did she change her mind about it while she was a Kerry democrat, Bush Republican or Obama democrat? I was a GOP stooge for 50 years, worked to elect both Bushes, but at my worst this hack wouldn’t have passed the smell test. Trump is incredibly stupid to continue taking his GOP handlers’ word on endorsements. After this one and the RNC RINO hack he endorsed v Liz Cheney last week its obvious he hasn’t learned a damn thing about DC swamp republicans.
Trump made a whole lot of bad personnel picks.
As to candidates, we get to pick them. And each of us has to do our own due diligence. It sounds like Lake is questionable, to say the least.
Maybe I’m just soured but it appears to me we are voting gop-e out, but still moving left.
Another bad endorsement, it’s not like it’s the only one.
Salmon let Janet Napolitano steal him blind. He is a GOP-e nothing. A Jeff Flake clone.
I hear you but Lake was in bed with the dems both professionally in the media and personally as a democrat for a very long time. People can and do change. I wish there was a way to be sure she is sincere in what she says because she says all the right things.
If you ain’t willing to talk the talk, you sure as hell won’t walk the walk. Kari Lake is MAGA and calls out the GOPe con men at every turn.
AZ is full of phony “lifelong conservatives” who hate their voters. That the AZ GOPe, Chamber of Commerce, Dems and Leftists hate her is all the endorsement I need.
Amen Brother and A-Woman. Kari Lake knows about and is willing to fight the culture war.
“Salmon, Lake, I’m sensing a theme here.”
For what it’s worth, her co-anchor for many years was a liberal named John Hook.
Wow....I think I need to research all of this but I think Salmon has the best chance of winning.
Michelle Yee is the better choice.
