Four-time congressional candidate thinks fifth time may be the charm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The September 11 mayoral election in Phoenix, Arizona, gained a new candidate at 5:00 p.m. today, as four-time congressional candidate Mark Yannone (I) joined the race between incumbent Phil Gordon (D) and attorney Steve Lory (R).
Not only does Mr. Yannone distinguish himself from the other two candidates by insisting on fiscal honesty and frugality, by insisting that law enforcement take the place of illegal sanctuary city practices, and by refusing to affiliate with any political party, but Mark Yannone has also continued his long-standing tradition of refusing all campaign contributions to be free of all special-interest influence.
The last-minute decision to enter the race forced him to be a write-in candidate.
Easy to refuse contributions when no one will give you any. Hey, I think I’ll just refuse the Mega Millions Jackpot now, you know, for when I win it? So now he wants to be Mayor? Just like that? Walking down the street one day and “hey, I wanna be Mayor!”?
Great, he’ll do a fine job I’m sure…
