Brewer may use immigration in move to the right
At a time when Gov. Jan Brewer needs all the Republican support she can muster, some see her recent statements about illegal immigration as a way to court the conservative base. But what role the contentious issue will play in the 2010 Republican primary is far from certain.
Goddard can draw on experience from 2 gubernatorial campaigns
No matter which Republican he faces in the 2010 general election, Attorney General Terry Goddard will have something they don't - two previous gubernatorial campaigns to learn from. Goddard's second run in 1994, when he lost the Democratic primary to grocery magnate Eddie Basha, may not provide too many lessons, since the attorney general appears to have no challengers for his party's nominatio[...]
Munger sparks war of words with Brewer on Clean Elections
With their 2010 campaigns officially underway, John Munger is taking Gov. Jan Brewer to task for her plan to run as a publicly funded candidate.
Brewer: Arizona needs tough leader for tough times
There is no doubt that times were tough when Jan Brewer took over as governor, and tough times call for a tough leader. That leader, Brewer said as she announced her candidacy for 2010, is her. Speaking to dozens of supporters at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel and Spa on Nov. 5, Brewer formally announced what most observers had expected for months - that she will seek a full term as governor.
The Pulse: Put some jelly on that toast
We've all heard it: Jan Brewer is toast. She can't get along with Republican lawmakers. She hasn't solved the budget deficit. She's despised by her own party - and by Democrats, too, her critics charge.
Pollsters say Brewer isn’t toast
Gov. Jan Brewer's poll numbers are among the lowest of any governor in the country. But the wild card, pollsters here say, is that many Arizona voters don't know enough about the governor to have an opinion. "The hardcore anti-Jan Brewer constituency is relatively small, especially among the voting population," said NAU pollster and political science professor Fred Solop...
Brewer makes it official
Ending months of speculation, Gov. Jan Brewer officially filed to run for governor in 2010. Brewer's representatives filed paperwork for a candidate committee with the Arizona Secretary of State's Office on Nov. 5, and she is expected to publicly announce her candidacy later in the evening at an awards dinner in Glendale.
Brewer expected to announce 2010 run
Gov. Jan Brewer is expected to put an end to the questions about her candidacy this evening (Nov. 5) with an announcement that she will seek a full term as governor. Brewer is scheduled to speak at Westmarc's 17th annual Best of the West awards dinner.

Munger’s firm has lobbying ties
It might be time for John Munger to update the Web site for his law firm, Tucson-based Munger and Chadwick. Mungerchadwick.com prominently features Capitol lobbyist Michael Racy, who Munger says has cut all ties with the firm - although not on paper.
Munger files for gubernatorial run
Former Arizona Republican Party Chairman John Munger has officially thrown his hat in the ring for the 2010 governor's race, adding to what is becoming an increasingly crowded field for the Republican primary.
Groomed Governors
John Munger's biggest hurdle in seeking the governor's office may actually have nothing to do with the fact he's from Tucson. The mustache-sporting attorney is up against history in another way, too. See, only two of the 22 people who have served as Arizona governor since statehood have had facial hair like Munger does. And the last case was 32 years ago: Raul Castro, also the only Tucsonan to [...]
Rasmussen poll puts Goddard over Brewer
A Rasmussen poll shows Gov. Jan Brewer's approval rating dropping into the 30s, and predicts a November win for Attorney General Terry Goddard if he faces her in the 2010 governor's race. The poll, released Sept. 29, is consistent with other recent polls showing Brewer's approval ratings dropping.
