Meet Your Candidates

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 19:44

This is an interesting story on the campaign strategies of three Republicans competing for a state House seat, two of whom are running with Clean Elections funds. Notice the story opens up with one candidate walking door to door to talk to voters -- there's Clean Elections for you!One candidate in particular, Trent Humphries, seems to have embraced a different style of campaigning that Clean Elections facilitates:  Humphries, who has been funded by $12,921 in Clean Elections funds, has embraced some innovative campaign strategies in the race. He's hosted forums on key issues in the district, including health care and law enforcement. His emphasis on keeping the state out of the health-care business has earned him the endorsement of the Arizona Medical Association and the Arizona Nurses Association. "I'm a person who is serious about the issues," said Humphries. "We're in a bad way with health care, so we need to get past party issues."Clean Elections comes under attack quite frequently in Arizona by a small band of legislators bent on overturning the law, but we see from the story the value it has in terms of emphasizing contact with voters and competitive races.
