Even before it was reported that Arizona Corporation Commissioner Kris Mayes won't be seeking the Republican nomination in CD1, Stuart Rothenberg's Rothenberg Political Report had this to say about the race in the First District:
"Arizona's 1st: GOP strategists breathed a sigh of relief when embattled Rep. Rick Renzi (R) announced he wouldn't seek re-election, but this district is still in play. Former state Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is the favorite in the Democratic race, though she faces a fight for her party's nomination from former TV personality Mary Kim Titla and attorney Howard Shanker. The Republican race pits conservative activist Sydney Hay against state Corporation Commissioner Kris Mayes, though former state Senate President Ken Bennett is reconsidering his earlier decision not to run. Bush won the district by 8 points in 2004."

Can you say Blue-Dog Democrat?
I would support all of the other Democratic candidates over this Blue-Dog Democrat. Howard Shanker is the best candidate for the people. Close second is Jeff Brown.
CD 1
Kirkpatrick will win this seat.
