Andrew Walter Submits Nominating Petition
Signatures and Qualifies for the 2014 Election on First Day
PHOENIX - Andrew Walter, Republican candidate
for Congress, submitted his nominating petition signatures to qualify for the
2014 Election on the first day signatures are allowed to be submitted. Mr.
Walter submitted over 2,100 signatures today, nearly twice the number required
to qualify.Andrew Walter’s 2,100 signatures demonstrates an overwhelming amount of support from the grassroots and an incredibly organized campaign. Contextually, 2,100 signatures is over three times the amount required in 2012. The increase reflects the change in statute from requiring ½ of 1-percent of the party registrations in 2012 to 1-percent required in 2014.
With regard to qualifying for the ballot,
Andrew stated “This is an exciting next step toward victory in August and
November. I am blessed to have the support of so many great volunteers that
donated their time to walk with me to meet Arizonans. These signatures
represent over 2,000 hardworking Arizonans who are tired of politics as usual,
broken promises and failed legislation, like Obamacare. I’m very excited to
qualify for the ballot, but my team and I will continue to walk neighborhoods
and meet Arizonans all across the 9th district in hopes of earning people's
trust and support.”About Andrew Walter
