McCain, Kyl fundraise for Shadegg

Calling Bob Lord "well-funded, serious opposition" to Rep. John Shadegg (R-3), Sens. John McCain and John Kyl will host a fundraiser on Shadegg's behalf at the home of attorney Jordan Rose and husband, Rose & Allyn Public Relations partner Jason Rose on Saturday afternoon.

"For most of his career Congressman Shadegg has not had well-funded, serious opposition," reads the invitation. "This year is very different.

"John’s Democrat opponent this cycle has raised over $830,000 as of the end of the last quarter, and no doubt more since then. That’s serious money. In fact, he has one of the highest cash-on-hand balances as any Democrat challenger in the country. And, no one knows what level of additional support John’s opponent will get from MoveOn.org, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee or other liberal groups."

McCain and Kyl praised Shadegg as "one of the most principled and steady conservative leaders in Congress. He has been recognized nationally and by his colleagues for his leadership."
