Republican Voters and the Spirit of Rebellion

Yavapai County’s Republican establishment must be in shock. If not, they should be. There is a spirit of rebellion afoot in Yavapai County. The results of the July 30th Republican Primary was a top to bottom repudiation of incumbents and long time establishment figures.

The defeat of State Senator Ken Bennett by Trump-endorsed Mark Finchem is a game changer. Finchem, who has been a major figure in conservative circles at the state level, only recently moved to Yavapai County. During the campaign, the opposition tried to dismiss him as a carpetbagger. But there are so many newcomers in Yavapai County, that ‘carpetbagger’ is now a smear that has lost its sting. The establishment doesn’t get it because they’ve lost touch with the grassroots.

After the November general election, Mark Finchem will be the top elected Republican in Yavapai County. He has a personal relationship with Donald Trump. He will be Trump’s man at the Arizona State Capitol.

If anything, the results of County Supervisor races in the First and Fourth Districts send an even stronger message. Brooks Compton’s defeat of former Prescott Mayor and PUSD School Board Chair, Greg Mengarelli, is another rebuke to the establishment. Public skepticism about excessive growth and the control of government by developers remains a driving political force. Mr. Compton, as a political newcomer, did not have the financial muscle of his opponent or a powerful political machine behind him. What he did have was independence, fresh ideas, and a willingness to connect with voters thru grassroots, door to door campaigning. Nothing beats hard work and having the right message.

The author of this article is an avowed racist and convicted pedophile. He got beaten in the primary 74-26% for Yavapai County Attorney.

No reason to read his article.

News flash to those who know nothing about the history of the United States. The spirit of rebellion is the spirit of America. Those docile subjects of the crown ended up in Canada.

Very happy for Finchem. Very happy to see Bennett kicked to the curb. He’s a terrible rat-faced rino.
