Midterm Elections
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:11 pm
This is going to be a pretty big Midterm elections. It’s the report card America gives to our politicians. Will it be a Blue or Red wave?
I just got my mail in ballot for the primaries. I was researching the local candidates.
Joan Greens VS Jose Torres US Rep District 5
There isn’t much info on these candidates. Jose is an Engineer/Mathematician. Joan is in Marketing.

Total Raised and Spent
Candidate Raised Spent Cash on Hand Last Report
Andy Biggs (R) • Incumbent $464,729 $158,811 $354,515 06/30/2018
Joan Greene (D) $68,954 $57,217 $11,707 06/30/2018
Jose Torres (D) $10,412 $10,863 -$451 06/30/2018
The two Democrats combined raised 80k. The Republican incumbent Biggs has raised 464k. Jose Torres in the hole $-451 ouch! This district is heavily Republican and those two first time running Democrats have less than a snowballs chance it would seem.
AZ US Senator - Democrats Deedra Abboud VS Kyrsten Sinema
Kyrsten has raised over 9 million. Deedra has raised 80k. Both caucasian girls. One is an open bi-sexual and the other an American born Christian who converted to being a Muslim. Deedra on her web site says she champions the LGBT cause. I don’t get it. I will get flack that maybe I deserve but, as an Agnostic I don’t get how an American born Christian becomes a Muslim, wears the jihab in public even and then champions the LGBT cause. Isn’t homosexuality strictly forbidden in Islam? I suppose Kyrsten could be a Catholic and champion the LGBT cause too and Catholics are forbidden to be gay too. I don’t have a problem if either one is gay or a Muslim. I just have a hard time with people that claim to be something and then take up a cause that goes against what you say you believe in.

This is the race with Sheriff Joe. There are lots of candidates and a lot of them have money behind them. This race will be a doozy. Arapio is seriously lacking in money raised compared to some of the other candidates.
