For every solar action, there’s an opposite APS reaction
Lesko today confirmed that she’s working with APS, Legislative Council, and Marc Osborn of Arizona Prosperity Alliance to craft a referendum to compete with Kris Mayes’ pro-solar initiative.
The Never Trump strategy?
Some longtime Republican activists are speculating that the Arizona Republican Party’s decision to allow the use of proxy votes at the 40 district and county meetings (where 1,251 delegates to the party’s April 30 state convention were elected) is not only a break from decades of precedent, but potentially a strategy to undermine Trump.
Gowan leads GOP field in CD1 fundraising
Congressional campaign finance reports were due Friday, and McSally once again proved to be the most prodigious fundraiser, hauling in $853,000 in the first quarter of the year. That gives her more than $4.4 million raised this cycle, and she ended March with more than $2.2 million in cash.

Arizona Chamber CEO and President Glenn Hamer vigorously defended S1516 (campaign finance amendments) against “wildly inaccurate” claims that he said are being perpetuated by the media. “We’re all entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts,” he wrote in a blog.
Brno: Don’t release polls with people still voting
Following the long queues at polling places on Tuesday night, some had presumed that election officials wouldn’t immediately start releasing results online, as a way of ensuring that early results won’t have any influence on votes that have yet to be cast.
