I am voting early this time and have run into, what appears to be, an utter lack of hard info regarding several of our candidates.
District 7 RepresentativesMarilyn Fox - website has generic platitudes such as... never mind, here's the link
http://marilyn-fox.com/contact_us.htmlJeanne Lunn - Even less information. The closest thing I've found is from her Home Page; "With her background in public service
(WTF? she apparently runs her parents small business, don't see how this qualifies as public service) and pioneering new businesses she will bring practical, conservative and realistic solutions to the challenges facing Arizona and District 7"
and the poll options provided on the site make me think she might be a re:puke: in Dem clothing.

Corporation commissionerBoyer has stated his agenda much more clearly than Manoil, so I'm leaning that way though he feels pretty republican, but that could be his appearance and my prejudice. Anyone want to set me straight?
And BTW All of these people need serious help with their websites, design, implementation, and especially content (except Boyer, his content is pretty good).
I really do appreciate all the help and information that I have received here in the past, and I rely heavily on my fellow denizens of DU for honest opinions.
Arizona is such a tough place for any progressives in the best of circumstances, and it disappoints me to see so many of our candidates failing to leverage all of the venues available to get the word out.
