CD1 GOP field may grow soon
By Wally EdgeFormer senate President Ken Bennett, who was rumored to be considering a run for the 1st CD this winter, appears to be taking another look at the race. Inside Edge has confirmed with more than one source Bennett is taking a hard look and may decide to enter the race in the coming month.
Sydney Hay, who had a successful $100k fundraiser last night is a declared candidate and Corporations Commissioner Kris Mayes is expected to announce her intentions to seek the seat over the next couple of weeks.
Insiders believe Bennett would be a strong compromise candidate for those who are worried about Kris Mayes not being able to win a primary because of her close connections with Governor Janet Napolitano and the conservative Hay not being able to win a general election is a more swing district.

Quote of the Day
"One of the few areas where Governor Napolitano and I have agreed is that Washington has not done its job when it comes to securing our borders and protecting our nation. Now the governor will get the opportunity to either fix a bad situation or become part of the problem. I honestly wish her well.” -- State Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen
