Harry Racks Up GOP Endorsements- Updated List

Today, more than a dozen prominent GOP Arizonans and business leaders endorsed Harry Mitchell. Among them was Grant Woods, attorney and long-time friend of Mitchell's. The list of endorsers includes:

Grant Woods- Former Arizona Attorney General
Leo Corbet- Former State Senate President and GOP Gubernatorial Nominee
Sam Campana- Former Scottsdale Mayor
Neil Giuliano- Former Tempe Mayor
John Moeur- Former Tempe Mayor
Bill LoPiano- Former Tempe Mayor
Ben Arredondo- Tempe City Councilman
Pam Goronkin- Tempe City Councilwoman
Hut Hutson- Tempe City Councilman
Richard Neuheisel- Former Tempe City Councilman
Don Cassano- Former Tempe City Councilman
Zita Johnson- Tempe Union High School Board Vice President
Michael Goodwin- Former State Represenative

J.D. Hayworth fired back very quickly through his spokesman, Todd Sommers, concerning Grant Woods' endorsement for Harry.

“If I recall, Grant Woods was Harry Mitchell’s defense attorney when Mitchell faced criminal charges in connection with stealing his opponent’s campaign signs. I imagine going through a criminal trial like that can really bring lawyer and client closer together. In fact, I think they were meant for each other.”

I'll have to dig up more information about the case. I doubt it will really hurt Harry, J.D. seems to be grasping at straws to find something bad to say about him, other than throwing around the word "liberal" all the time.

Grant Woods put it bluntly, as many others have, when speaking the truth about J.D.:

"I saw him on Meet the Press and frankly was embarassed for Arizona."

We are all embarrassed, but come November, we can put that away and look to the future with a Congressman we deserve and trust.

Thanks to Arizona Congress Watch for all the info and quotes!
