Former Arizona lawmaker, ousted for sexual harassment, files to run again

[Ptah]

PHOENIX — Insisting his constituents still want his services, ousted state Rep. Don Shooter filed paperwork Wednesday to get back in the Legislature, this time as a senator.

The Yuma Republican submitted more than 810 signatures to qualify for the August primary election. He needs 474 of those to be valid to get his name on the ballot.

The House voted 56-3 to oust him on Feb. 1 after concluding he had sexually harassed fellow legislators, lobbyists, staffers and others.

“The people never got to have their say,” Shooter said. Running for Senate, he said, provides that public input.

1. Makes sense. He could be someone who molests, kills, whatever, but as long as he

is down with HATRED of women and POC, they WILL vote for him.

3. Trump only won AZ by 4% For Flakes seat Democrats

Are going to nominate Krystin Sinema who is the first Congresswoman to openly identify as bisexual.

Congresswoman Sinema is leading the most likely Republican by 6 points.

That person is McSally who could lose the primary, in which case Sinema would likely win on a landslide.

McSally's seat is a swing seat that has 3 highly qualified candidates running against a nut job and is heavily favored to return to Democrats (used to be Giggords seat). When that happens AZ Congressional delegation will go 5-4 ( could go higher).

When Sen McCain's seat becomes vacant we are hoping Mark Kelly will run for it, and he would win.

Both Phoenix and Tucson are heavily Democratic cities do Democratic that they win most races unopposed.

Arizona could not only have a majority of its Congresspeople Republican but 2 Democratic Senators.

Both Republican Senators from AZ are the most openly hostile Republican Senators in the country.

As for this guy, he is from a deep red area but he still hasn't gotten re elected.
