Statement on Dean Martin's announcement of his candidacy for governor

Luis Heredia, executive director of the Arizona Democratic Party, offers this statement about Dean Martin’s candidacy:

“Dean Martin’s announcement means the GOP is offering Arizonans an unfortunate choice between the far right and the farther right. It’s clear that Governor Brewer’s highly partisan speech Monday was intended to preempt Republican primary opponents like Dean Martin, who would push Arizona toward policies from the fringes rather than the mainstream. Neither Governor Brewer nor Dean Martin shares the priorities and independent values of everyday Arizonans. In the months to come, the Republican primary will showcase why their failed leadership is taking our state down the wrong path.”
