So Ducey is out of the race and the AZ GOP has censured a bunch of Rinos - who do we have on the bench?
I remember being impressed by Paul Babeau at Tea Party Rallies - I know he lost to O'Halleran for Congress but is he still a state-wide contender?
BTW he seems able to keep his private life private and I have a lot of respect for that.  What's the consensus on this guy?

We need someone who both has impeccable conservative credentials, AND doesn't have any history of saying crazy things (or things that can be spun by the media as crazy) in their background.

The part in parenthesis is the problem. They'll spin a lot of things, and right now, the libs own all the media in this state.

I honestly have no idea who we'd nominate right now. We almost need another Ducey*... someone who has a lot of practical experience but not political experience. The problem is... you never know if that guys really a conservative or they're a RINO.

Whoever it is; priority #1 needs to be showing the Arizona people what they voted for, both in Sinema and the Asstronaut. They need to be smeared like the D's smeared McSally. But the Liberals control the media, so I don't know how to do it.

*-No, I don't like the guy. But he got elected because it was hard to say bad things about him before the election. That's the part we need to duplicate.

What we need to do is run real Conservative candidates. Not
milquetoast McCain flunkies like McSally.

Babeau has been a non-entity for the last 3 or 4 years now.  Haven't heard a word breathed about him for quite some time.

Exactly.
We need to purge the party of the McCain flunkies and the Doug Ducey's of the Arizona GOP.

While they did not win this last go around,
I do think Anne Ward ( ran against gosar and lost) would be a solid choice. Met her at my VFW post and gave a very good impression
Also Travis Angry ( I hate to say it but his race could play a positive role with the mid left and sheep)

Whatever is causing it, the 2020 election was not pretty for Republicans statewide.  Fresh faces and new ideas are sorely needed, candidate recycling is not.  Ducey, Brnovich, McSally, Ward, Arpaio, Flake, anybody named McCain all need to go.

Too badly smeared by the media already.

They're gonna smear anyone we run regardless, but we need to at least start with someone the brainwashed masses haven't already been trained to hate.

I've been impressed with Wendy Rogers - she represents District 6 in the State Senate and doesn't appear to shy away from a fight, but she just got elected.  Air Force veteran but, unlike McSally, was all in for Trump.

Her election history is horrible.  Almost as bad as McSallys.

2010 - Lost State Senate D17 to Dem by 4,000 votes
2012 - Lost R primary for US D9
2014 - Lost US Senate race to Sinema 54% to 42%
2016 - Lost US House D1 primary to Babeu 30% to 22% (Babeu was later smoked (figuratively) by O'Halleran 51% to 43%)
2018 - Lost US House D1 to O'Halleran 54% to 46%
2020 - Won Finally found a race she could win and beat French 55% to 45%

Tiffany Shedd. Background so clean you could eat off it. HUGE 2 A supporter, mother to Native American kids, former schoolteacher, lawyer, farmer and sharp as a tack.  Well spoken with solid credentials and has her head on straight. Lost to the O'Halleran but should have wiped the floor with him.

I like Shedd, but I just don't see how we win with someone that can't win a House race in a R +1 district.
