Phoenix, AZ – The Grand Opening of the Arizona Republican Party’s new headquarters drew members from across the state on Tuesday. Despite record heat, the over-capacity crowd enthusiastically welcomed their newly nominated candidates for statewide offices.
Arizona Republican Party Chair Sergio Arellano welcomed Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters; GOP nominee for Governor; Congressman Andy Biggs, GOP nominee for Attorney General; Arizona Senate President Warren Peterson, GOP nominee for Secretary of State; Rep. Alex Kolodin, and popular conservative talk show host James T Harris.
Petersen, Biggs, and Kolodin were greeted with loud applause from the united crowd.
“It is very clear by today’s turnout that Republicans understand how important this election is and the only way we win is with a united front,” said Arellano. “Governor Hobbs has been a disaster. From awarding government contracts to cronies, to appointing unqualified individuals to lead various state agencies, she has made a mess of things. We know that we must get Andy Biggs elected before it’s too late for Arizona and we become California.”
“Primaries can take a toll and often fray relationships and create distrust among party members like the schism the DCCC created this cycle in Congressional District 1 with their cockeyed endorsement of losing candidate Marlene Galan-Woods. However, we didn’t play that way. I was determined that the Party would not put its thumb on the scale for one of our candidates or another. As a result, there is a real sense of unity – of trust,” said Arellano.
“I was proud to join Chairman Arellano, Congressman Andy Biggs, and our tremendous slate of nominees for the grand opening of the AZGOP headquarters, ” stated Chairman Gruters. “The crowd was enthusiastic and energized. There was a sense of unity and urgency. Everyone seemed to know how high the stakes are if we do not stop the Democratic Party’s socialist candidates now.”
