I was asked to sign a petition for him last summer - long before the Jan 11 date.
I didn't sign, because (surprise, surprise!) I don't trust this guy!

John Huppenthal should not be allowed near anything that has to do with education.

As any school administrator knows, rules don't always make sense, and they are sometimes random and/or ridiculous, but they are rules and you must fill out the forms, dot the i's and cross the t's. Oh well!!

Strange post. The current holder led the state to 50th out of 50 and seems to have a chance to become attorney general. Are voters here really that lame? Secondly, since every time we turn around education has it's hand out again, and never seems to get any better, what sane person wants the job?

Look, Huppenthal has been living off of the government for so long he wouldn't know how to work at a real job. His job at SRP is to be a supportive legislator for the power company. Because of his years as an elected official if he can get elected to Tom Horne's old job Huppenthal stands to increase his elected official retirement by almost 400%. Horne makes $85,000 and Huppenthal makes $24,000. Huppenthal can base his retirement check on the $85,000 versus the $24,000. Getting Horne's old job would be nothing more than a giant golden parachute for a mediocre elected official courtesy of Arizona taxpayers.

Huppenthal is known as someone that bends skirts the rules.
Irons is right, this guy shouldn't be anywhere near a position that deals with education.

Did he try to beat up an 80 year old lady to get her to sign before he announced he was running?

Oh well, the judge allowed him onto the ballot. Guess some people are allowed to break the rules and get away with it.

ANYONE who puts their family on a campaign poster is giving himself away as "posing" as a "family values" candidate. That is simply a ruse to fool SOME voters, who are, basically, non-thinkers. His wife and children are NOT running for office - HE is. I will never vote for ANYONE, of either party, who puts "family" pictures on campaign posters. In addition, he has no experience in education and is, thus, unqualified for the office of School Superintendent. If he is disqualified, it will be justice for the voters. This guy is, and always has been, a piece of C@^P!!!!!!!
