The Finish Line is in Sight! Two More District Chairs Support


Brings the total of endorsements to 5 County Chairs and 16 LD Chairs

PHOENIX — Today, Robert Graham announced that he had received the support of two more LD chairmen for his run for chairman of the Arizona Republican Party.

Terry Rapp (Chairman, LD 27) and Jerry Clingman (Chairman, LD 16) joined the overwhelming list of county and district chairs who have pledged their support for Robert Graham.

“In a very difficult race, it’s good to know we have two very capable and selfless candidates,” Rapp said. “However, we can only choose one, and I have determined that Robert Graham has the edge and deserves my vote. I am placing my trust in his commitment to conservative values and his ability to lead our party through the next two, very critical, years. I appreciate his vision and his skills to marshal ALL of the talent and resources in the Arizona Republican Party to regain the Republican political leadership of our state. We cannot continue the slide that’s occurred over the past two elections, and Robert has the ideas and can muster the support and cooperation to reverse that trend. I look forward to his support at the Legislative District level and supporting him at the CD, County, State, and even to Arizona’s conservative leadership to the nation.”

“I have met with Robert Graham many times,” Clingman said. “We have discussed the issues and problems. I believe he has the youth, energy, and experience to create a united, powerful and winning party.”

“It has been a pleasure to get to know these two chairmen,” Graham said. “Like all the county and district chairs in this state, Terry and Jerry are firmly committed to seeing our party succeed and to holding firm to the principles that have always defined our party. I look forward to working with these two men and their districts if I am elected as your AZGOP chairman to make sure that we elect more Republicans!”
