Jeff DeWit and Randy Pullen Want to Buy the Job
of
State Treasurer. Tell Them Your Vote Is Not For
Sale.
Late last night the latest round of
campaign finance reports came out. And two of the most shocking reports
were from the State Treasurer’s race.
The latest reports show
that my opponents, Jeff DeWit and Randy Pullen, have together spent more
than $276,000 of their own money in an effort to buy the seat. They did
this because DeWit was only able to raise $33,000 and Pullen was only able to
raise about $73,000 from individual contributors. I guess they decided that if
they wanted the office, they would have to buy it
themselves.
We ran a different kind of
campaign. While I did put my own skin in the game — a fraction of what
DeWit and Pullen have spent — we’ve raised more than $300,000 from
people just like you who believe that Arizona needs responsible, trustworthy
leadership in the State Treasurer’s Office.
And yet, because of
my opponents’ massive personal spending on this race, false accusations against
me and distortions of my record — as well as an
$80,000 "independent expenditure" attack against me — some polls are
showing the race is going to be close. Every vote is going to count in
selecting the person who manages billions of dollars in our taxpayer revenues
and assets.
So I’m asking for your support at the polls on
Tuesday to show that the State Treasurer’s Office is not for sale to the guy
with the biggest checkbook. It’s a position that should be earned by a
candidate with real experience in public service and a track record of
fiscal responsibility and high ethical standards.
I’ve
promoted those ideals my entire career, and would welcome the opportunity to put
my experience to work for you as your State Treasurer. Thank you for
your consideration, and if you haven’t voted yet, please remember to vote at the
polls on Tuesday, August 26. And remember — if you have your mail-in ballot, you
can carry it to any polling place in Arizona and turn it
in.
Sincerely, |
