The Arizona Republican Party State Convention to elect 50 Delegates and 50 Alternate Delegates to the National Convention occurred this past Saturday. The AZMcCain 08’ campaign has been actively engaged in insuring that Arizona’s delegation to the National Convention is a delegation that Senator John McCain can be proud of. That goal was reached and exceeded on Saturday, when 95 of the 100 people who made up the AZGOP/McCain08’ Unity Slate were elected at the state convention.
Our Unity Slate was negotiated with the State Party Leadership and the state convention nominating committee to create a true unity slate. The AZGOP/McCain 08’ Unity Slate was widely supported at the state convention by the attending 987 state delegates, U.S. Senator Jon Kyl, Representative John Shadegg, Representive Trent Franks and State Party Chairman, Randy Pullen. The Unity Slate was made up of recognized leaders in our party, the AZMcCain 08’ campaign, party activists, precinct committeemen, business leaders, religious leaders and elected officials.
The AZGOP/McCain 08’ Unity Slate also represented the geographic, economic and ethnic make up of Arizona. In addition to our slate, there were four additional competing slates of candidates for the 100 delegate and alternate slots. Yet, with the hard work of more than 50 state convention volunteers, slate whips and runners, the day was a resounding success for Senator John McCain.
It is also important to recognize a few of the people who went above and beyond the “call of duty” to make the state convention a success by working diligently for more than six months at district and county Republican meetings and then all the way through to the State Convention. A special debt of gratitude and acknowledgement goes to Mike Hellon, Shiree Verdone, Joe Abate, Marcus Dell’Artino, Bettina Nava, Paul Hickman, Ann Lynch, Jane Lynch, Gary Hays, Donna Reagan , Cheryl Pietkiewicz, Tom Liddy, Travis Junion, Joan Shields, Mike Middleton, Laura French and Lisa Atkins.
Although there definently is not enough slots to allow for everyone who deserves to serve as a delegate or alternate… we do appreciate how many of you were willing to withdraw your names to make room for other deserving McCain supporters and how many people from our leadership team worked to get the Unity Slate elected even though they were not included. It is appreciated and the national campaign, who had representatives at the convention on Saturday, were impressed with Arizona’s true team effort.
Listed below are names of the Delegates and Alternate Delegates. Congratulations to each of our delegates and alternates who will make Arizona proud in Minneapolis.
Regards,
Wes Gullett and Kurt Davis
