Cardon vs Flake for Senate



There is a political newcomer on the seen in Mesa Arizona when it comes to running for office and that name is Will Cardon.Will Cardon and Jeff Flake are running for the seat being vacated by Jon Kyle. They both want to be your next Senator back in Washington DC.

There are some differences.

Jeff Flake has been the man of choice for many years but over the last few years he has found himself more and more out of line with the state and county Republican parties much like John McCain. The reason is that many people don't see Flake as doing much for the State of Arizona. He is off pushing a relationship with Cuba, or out there promoting carbon credits, and pushing comprehensive immigration reform in stead of securing the border between Arizona and Mexico (seen by many as amnesty), which he and McCain have flip flopped on now.

Jeff Flake ran for the seat that was vacated by Matt Salmon and much like Matt, Jeff promised to term limit himself, which promise he broke to the voters who put him in after 4 terms came up.

If you will remember it was Jeff Flakes brother Kevin Gibbons who ran one of the dirties campaign we had seen against Russell Pearce up until this recall election; which now will have to be remember as the dirties campaigns in the states history. Not only did they Jerry Lewis and Flake supporters go after Russell Pearce but anybody who supported Russell. Jeff will claim that he had no part in the attacks on Russell, much like Kirk Adams, but it's common knowledge that Russell and Jeff don't get along and see eye to eye.

On the other hand.

Will Cardon's family has been around for sometime and has a very good reputation in the community. The Cardon family put of $10 million for the Phoenix Children's Hospital at Southern and Higley. The Family was one of the major contributors who fought gambling in Arizona, and major contributor in defining marriage between a man and a women.

Unlike Jeff Flake who is a politician, Will is a business man. He has created jobs and built businesses and he understanding of what it takes to bring jobs to Arizona.

What we need in Washington D.C. is not more politician handing out money but business people who understand our struggles, who have created jobs, people who have not tied themselves to the political establishment.

From sources I understand that Jeff Flake financial committee is falling apart. That alone had ought to tell you something. I think we will be hearing more about this in the coming weeks.
