Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) and a raft of
other Republican candidates swept into Ahwatukee Foothills Friday
afternoon as part of a last-minute state tour to rally
supporters.
More than 100 people, many wearing t-shirts of the candidates
they came to support - with a few "Fire Pelosi" shirts thrown in -
crowded into a ballroom at the Grace Inn, southwest of Interstate
10 and Elliot Road.
McCain said that Ahwatukee Foothills often is a bellwhether for
the Legislative and Congressional districts in which it
resides.
"Ahwatukee is a swing area for this district," McCain said.
"Ahwatukee has generally gone to the person who won his or her
race."
Brewer said local support has been high.
"Ahwatukee is a very important high turnout voting area," she
said. "The encouragement and support has been terrific out of this
district."
David Schweikert, who is running against incumbent Democrat
Harry Mitchell for the U.S. House of Representatives, and Tom
Horne, who is running against Democrat Felecia Rotellini for
Arizona Attorney General, also appeared at the event, along with
several other candidates for various offices.
