From an azdem.org email:Today, in his hometown of Casa Grande surrounded by family, friends and supporters, Jim Pederson formally announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate.
As a community activist and civil leader, Jim has helped elect Governor Janet Napolitano, worked to develop fair redistricting laws, and been an advocate for middle class families throughout Arizona.
"The Arizona tradition is one of independence; of putting the well-being of our people ahead of party, ahead of ideology, ahead of big campaign money. Senator Kyl has done just the opposite."
"After twenty years in office, he's been putting politics first and leaving common sense solutions for last. And I believe Arizona deserves better".
Please join the campaign as Jim shares his agenda strengthen middle class families, through developing common sense solutions to illegal immigration and ensuring greater access to quality health care and education.
