Grijalva Complains About Outside Money: Is He Going to Return It?
Grijalva Complains About Outside Money: Is He Going to Return It?
Tucson, AZ -- Rep. Raul Grijalva has been complaining lately about all the "outside" money pouring into Arizona's 7th Congressional District. Yet today the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced yet another ad buy against his opponent, Ruth McClung. Even Mr. Grijalva's own money is mostly coming from outside of Arizona.
As first published by Politico, Mr. Grijalva recently reported raising $75,500 in a matter of days-with barely 20 percent of that money ($15,400) coming from sources in Arizona.
"It's not surprising that Mr. Grijalva is having trouble raising money here in Arizona," said McClung. "Maybe if he hadn't boycotted his own state, people would still have money to give him."
Mr. Grijalva's recent fundraising does raise some eyebrows. Since he's been so vocal in his objections to campaign contributions from outside of Arizona: when is he planning to return all that cash?

Ruth McClung Taking Off Like a Rocket
Ruth McClung Taking Off Like a Rocket
Confirming indications of a building Republican "wave" this fall, polls now show Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva in a dead-heat with his little-known challenger in Arizona's 7th District. Politico reports that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is now directing campaign cash to help Grijalva against insurgent GOP candidate Ruth McClung.
A big part of Grijalva's problem is that earlier this year, the incumbent Democrat joined those calling for a boycott of Arizona after the state passed a tough law aimed at curbing illegal immigration. Grijalva may have expected that stance would endear him with voters in the 7th District -- where about half of voters are Hispanic -- but it appears to have backfired disastrously. Polls show the Arizona law is popular, while Grijalva's support for a boycott was seen as harmful to the economy of a district suffering with high unemployment.
Fifty percent of 7th District voters say they're ready to dump Grijalva, while McClung ,an attractive young physicist who works for a rocket engineering firm, has begun capturing national attention.
Late Sunday night, I spoke to a Republican pollster in Arizona who had conducted a 7th District poll early last week and couldn't believe the result: McClung actually leading by 2 percentage points. So he polled the district again and got similar results. Now those surprising findings have been confirmed by the Magellan Strategies poll that struck alarm among Democrats. Independents in the district are breaking strongly toward the Republican, a Tea Party favorite who is also supported by about a fifth of voters who identify as Democrats.
Polls indicating a surge for McClung have had an important effect: Arizona's two Republican senators, John McCain and John Kyl, have reportedly started directing campaign donations and other resources toward the 7th District campaign. Within the next week, McClung's candidacy is expected to gain $100,000 worth of Republican support, in addition to a steadily increasing stream of online small-donor contributions from grassroots conservatives eager to defeat Grijalva, who is co-chairman of the Progressive Caucus.

Sarah Palin endorses Republican Ruth McClung over Raul Grijalva
Sarah Palin endorses Republican Ruth McClung in her campaign to unseat Congressman Raul Grijalva. From Sarah's Facebook page:
Ruth McClung is the smart choice for Congress in southwestern Arizona. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that our country is on the wrong track under the leadership of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid; but Ruth actually is a rocket scientist! Ruth’s commonsense fiscal approach to job creation and reining in reckless government spending is in sharp contrast to her opponent’s liberal record. In fact, Ruth is running against a four term incumbent who is so out of touch that he actually called for a boycott of his own constituents. It’s simple: The people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District deserve better. Please visit Ruth’s website at www.ruth4az.com and follow her on Facebook and Twitter.
