Glassman Shows Why He Is the Frontrunner

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Rodney Glassman on Tuesday clearly demonstrated once again why he is the frontrunner and best choice in the race to succeed John McCain in the U.S. Senate.

In a debate on KAET-TV’s “Horizon,” Glassman focused on key issues important to Arizonans, including bringing more jobs to the state, immigration reform, improving education, helping homeowners who are upside down in their mortgages, fixing the state’s infrastructure and ensuring that more Arizona tax dollars come home.

“While Glassman’s opponents for the Democratic nomination spent much of their time  attacking him instead of saying how they would attack Arizona’s critical problems, Glassman turned the discussion back to the issues affecting Arizonans every day,” said Patrick Mellody, campaign manager.

“I am focused on job creation, education, sustainability and working with others in the U.S. Senate,” Glassman said during the 30-minute debate. He noted his varied list of endorsements, an indication that he works well with a wide range of people and organizations and that he could do the same thing in the U.S. Senate.

He also pointed to his track record as an advocate for women’s reproductive rights and working on behalf of labor groups.
And he said it’s time to get out of Afghanistan.  “We need to do it sensibly, but we need to do it soon,” he said. Instead of nation-building there, he said, “Let’s build our own nation. Let’s bring our men and women home.”
