AEHQ: Primary to Narrow List in Race to be Giffords’ Successor

Four Republicans and one Democrat have their names on the ballot for a special primary ahead of a special election for the Arizona congressional seat formerly held by Gabrielle Giffords.

FOX News Radio’s Jessica Rosenthal reports in this election update:

From America’s Election Headquarters…

The only Democrat in the race is Ron Barber, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ District Director.  He was one of those shot and injured along with her during the Tucson shooting rampage in which 13 were killed.

Giffords had asked him to run.  He’s raised over half a million dollars and due to redistricting, the seat leans more Democratic now – key things in his favor.

But there are four Republicans running: Jesse Kelly, an Iraq War Vet lost in a close race to Giffords two years ago.  Others include State Sen. Frank Antenori, retired Air Force pilot Martha McSally and broadcaster Dave Sitton.

    Simply put, Jesse Kelly has neither the brains, credibility or honesty for public office, the will for fighting or the compassion to represent the people of southern Arizona either CD8 OR CD2.
