Rodney Glassman’s Statement in Advance of McCain’s Blair House Summit
Rodney Glassman, candidate for U.S. Senate, released the following statement:
“Will it be John McCain 1.0 or 2.0, who shows up at the Blair House today for health care negotiations with President Obama. Will it be the maverick who worked across party lines on issues like immigration and campaign finance reform? Or will it be John McCain 2.0, who votes against bills he sponsors, just to stick it to a Democratic president? Will he stand up for the one-in-five Arizonans without health insurance and those with insurance facing bankruptcy because they got sick? Or will he stand with a tantrum-throwing minority who wants Washington to fail, no matter the damage done to the lives of hard-working Americans?”
“Arizonans, like all Americans are tired of partisan gamesmanship and the politics of pure obstruction. They want to see reasonable reforms that will provide better coverage at a better price.”
Statement from Rodney Glassman about John McCain’s ‘No’ Vote on the Jobs Bill
Rodney Glassman released the following statement:
“Once again, Senator McCain has placed his obstructionist agenda ahead of the good of Arizona. McCain’s own economic advisor estimates that the small business tax cuts included in the Senate Jobs Bill will create about 250,000 jobs. In a time when Arizonans are desperate for work, Senator McCain insists on playing political games at the expense of those in need.”
FOX 10 – The battle between John McCain and JD Hayworth is just getting started. Both sides are picking up endorsements and trading harsh words — and the Republican primary is still six months away… Meanwhile, Tucson Vice-Mayor, Democrat Rodney Glassman, prepares to get in on the race. He sees an opportunity as the Hayworth-McCain cage match heats up.
The Glassman for Arizona Senate exploratory committee is continuing to gain momentum as Democrats, Independents, and gridlock weary Republicans take an interest in what we have to say. The simmering civil war between the followers of the two GOP candidates only helps us; people want simple, executable solutions to the problems they face and they want them now, not after months of foot dragging.
Arizona Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Terry Goddard said last week that, “Rodney Glassman has already brought energy, intelligence and enthusiasm to the race for U.S. Senate while still in the exploratory phase. At a time when Arizonans are crying out for new leadership, Rodney’s innovative ideas and fresh perspective are what the US Senate needs.”
I am continuing to travel the state, listening to the concerns of Arizonans.
