This guy is a dirt pile. Be it the illegal gathering of signatures, or his attack on a 78 year old lady, and even the damage he caused to a school by hanging banners for an election event! Or his robo calls where AM/PM confused him and he called people in the middle of the night.
Super of schools, and he doesn't even have his own kids in public schools.
Dang. This clown is the prime example of whats wrong with people elected in AZ. The Judge must have been paid off, or his rear end would be off the ballot.

Huppenthal doesn't even know the title of the office he is running for. He is running for Superintendent of Public Instruction. His signs say School Superintendent.

There are always different reasons to vote for or against a candidate...this one is easy.

A great role model for future generations? Hey Huppin, It's like you cheated. You started the race before the others had a chance to get ready. Please do not finish the race. You will do us all a favor!

Another fine example of the GOP protecting their own. Huppenthal is such slime that he shouldn't be allowed to run for dogcatcher, let alone Superintendent of Public Instruction. He should have been thrown off the ballot, but instead he cheats but gets a slap on the wrist. Arizona politics at it's finest

I hope, when he fills out a grant application, or a reimbursement, that the parties are as lenient.
