Vernon B. Parker is a rising star in the
national Republican Party and is currently running for United States Congressman
in CD9. Raised by his grandmother in a severely underprivileged neighborhood,
Parker was able to escape the drugs and violence of his environment through
love, education, and hard work. Parker is the personification of the American
Dream. He was able to escape poverty by putting himself through college and law
school. Parker and his wife, Lisa, seek now to instill the same qualities in
their own children as they come of age in one of the most challenging economic
times in our history. He was recently elected to serve a second term on the
Paradise Valley Town Council. Parker served as Paradise Valley’s Mayor from
2008-2010. His upbringing taught a few things about living on a budget, and when
the Great Recession hit no town was spared. He cut spending by 30%, reduced
staff and streamlined government. Previously, he served as Special Assistant to
President George H. W. Bush. Parker was also nominated by President George W.
Bush and unanimously confirmed with bipartisan support by the United States
Senate, as an Assistant Secretary at the United States Department of
Agriculture.

Commission. He also serves as the State’s Surveyor General and is a member of
the State Land Selection Board. Doug Ducey was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio,
but Arizona is Doug's home. It’s where he met his college sweetheart – now wife
of 20 years – Angela, and where he has raised his three sons Jack (14), Joe
(12), and Sam (8). It is also where Doug built and developed two businesses that
created jobs for Arizonans across the state. Doug came to Arizona in 1982 to
attend Arizona State University where he graduated with his Bachelor of Science
in Finance in 1986. He worked his way through college at Hensley & Co., the
local Anheuser-Busch distributorship. Upon graduation, he joined Procter &
Gamble and began a career in sales and marketing. There he was trained in
management, preparing him for his role as partner and CEO of Cold Stone
Creamery. When he and his business partner sold the company in 2007, Cold Stone
had grown from a local scoop shop to more than 1,400 locations in all 50 states
and 10 countries. Doug then committed to an entrepreneurial pursuit in
Scottsdale where he became the lead investor and Chairman of the Board for
iMemories.
