Claudia Walters, the Vice-Mayor of Mesa and former Mayoral candidate, has decided to snub a colleague and endorse the newcomer Scott Smith for Mayor.

Walters finished with 28% in the three-way campaign on March 11th to Scott Smith’s 38% and Rex Griswold’s 34%.  Griswold, who has served with Walters on the Mesa board cannot be happy with this endorsement.  Walter’s is a veteran of Mesa politics and her endorsement and organization could put this election out of reach for Griswold.

Mesa’s runoff election will be held on May 20th.

Quote of the Day

September 8, 2008

"Not only did our campaign win by 15 points compared to Sydney Hay's four, our campaign garnered 8,000 more actual votes as well as a greater percentage of the total vote than did the Phoenix corporate lobbyist."

-- Zac Petkanas, communications director for Democratic congressional candidate Ann Kirkpatrick, on the prospects of Republican rival Sydney Hay being competitive in the 1st Congressional District race.
