| Description | John Greene, a former state Senate president, said Monday that he has been unable to get the backing of moderates in his party to gather the necessary $5 donations to qualify for public funding.
Greene said some appear to believe that incumbent Democrat Janet Napolitano cannot be beaten; others actually support the governor’s bid for a second term
“The Republican Party, at least in Arizona, is at an all-time low in terms of reaching out to people and trying to unify the party and recognizing there are Republicans who believe that individual freedom means allowing people to live their lives without government involvement,” he said.
Greene said that, at least at this point, he is not supporting any of the other announced candidates. But Greene said he does not intend to abandon the GOP.
Greene said unless moderates take back control of the party, he would expect that party members who share his belief would choose to abandon the party and register as independents. |
