Jeff Flake Endorses Kirk Adams for Congress
Congressman Jeff Flake Endorses Kirk Adams for Congress
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Today, Congressman Jeff Flake endorsed Kirk Adams for Congress in Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District.
“With the primary election just days away, I'm being asked a lot about who I prefer for Congressional District Five,” said Flake. “I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Matt Salmon, so my decision is not a matter of voting against someone, but rather for someone. That someone is Kirk Adams. I've known Kirk for years, and have watched his steady, thoughtful leadership as speaker of the Arizona House. I'm confident that, if elected, Kirk will provide the same conservative leadership in Washington.”
Of the endorsement, Adams said, “Jeff Flake has been an incredible conservative leader for the U.S. House. He has been effective in fighting against wasteful spending and Obamacare, and in defending our individual liberties. He is also a true friend. It is an honor to earn his vote.”
Jeff Flake is committed to supporting policies and legislators that reduce spending, lower taxes, and limit burdensome regulation. He is nationally recognized as one of the most consistent, fiscally conservative members of Congress.

Prediction: Kirk Adams Will Defeat Matt Salmon | Noble Thinking
written by Sean Noble
[Disclaimer: Kirk Adams is a client of my firm DC London, Inc.]
Kirk Adams is the epitome of a “young gun.” A fearless leader who is willing to stand up to special interest and protect taxpayers from an intrusive government.
His primary opponent, Matt Salmon, has spent the last ten years as a lobbyist – even lobbying to PASS Obama’s health care bill in 2010.
Salmon has outraised Adams and racked up a series of endorsements from former Congressional colleagues. Adams has landed the endorsements of legendary crooner, Pat Boone, Newt Gingrich and none other than conservative king-maker, Sarah Palin.
At the end of the day, voters in AZ-05 will have to decide whether to send a former Congressman-turned-lobbyist back to Congress or send a reform-minded, true conservative.
Although he is a severe underdog, I predict they will pick the reform-minded, conservative Kirk Adams.

MATT SALMON LOBBIED FOR STIMULUS $$$$
Matt Salmon the Stimulus Lobbyist
Stimulus Funds and Matt Salmon Fact Check
Watch Michele Kern, former Mayor of El Mirage; explain why Matt Salmon lobbied for stimulus dollars:

City of El Mirage Lobbying Contract
In September of 2009, the City of El Mirage signed a new lobbying contract with Policy Impact Communications (PIC). In the contract they agreed to pay PIC a monthly fee of $12,500, or $150,000 for the duration of one year. Matt Salmon signed the contract as the President of Policy Impact Communications.When El Mirage first hired Policy Impact Communications, Matt Salmon was the sole lobbyist listed. That changed in Q4 of 2009. So much for Matt's claims that every partner is listed on every disclosure statement.
The issue listed in the disclosure forms was "noise issues associated with F-22". What exactly does lobbying on "noise issues associated with F-22" entail? The best explanation comes straight from Scott Chesney, Economic Development Director for the City of El Mirage. The following is an email communication between Scott and Matt Salmon detailing what the City of El Mirage expected to accomplish:
Public Reaction
The agreement between PIC and the City of El Mirage was reported in the Phoenix Business Journal on October 29, 2009. The article reported "The city of El Mirage has hired a lobbying firm headed by former Mesa Congressman Matt Salmon to help with efforts related to Luke Air Force Base and the possibility of F-35 training coming to the Glendale base…El Mirage officials have expressed concerns that the F-35 fighter jet will be louder than the existing F-16 housed at Luke."http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2009/10/26/daily51.html
Another article published on Allbusiness.com cut straight to the heart of the reasons behind El Mirage's lobbying contract with PIC.
"El Mirage's immediate big push is to share its woes about how the military base has dampened its economic development. And to get something for it."
This same article criticized Matt Salmon for taking on El Mirage as a client, knowing that their main goal was to push back against Luke Air Force Base and the F-35.
"Interesting that Salmon, once a political powerhouse in Arizona, is taking on as a client El Mirage, a city that has been sharply criticized by other Valley leaders, who believe that raising concern about Luke is akin to trying to destroy the base."
The article also noted that his willingness to lobby on this issue stood in sharp contrast to his previous comments about Luke Air Force Base.
"In 2002, when Salmon was running for governor, he told The Republic: "We need to have a governor who's going to use the bully pulpit, going to use the office of the governor to make sure that we do everything that we can to protect Luke Air Force Base."

Matt Salmon wasn't the only person drawing criticism for taking on Luke Air Force Base and the F-35. The city council members who decided to hire PIC began to see significant resistance to their position. The Arizona Republic reported that "The outgoing City Council drew criticism last year when it asked for $400 million in federal compensation to offset perceived harm from restrictions limiting growth around the Glendale base. Members also complained that noise from the jets would hurt property values. The base is a $2 billion-a-year economic engine in Arizona and the Air Force's preferred site for F-35 training."
http://www.azcentral.com/community/westvalley/articles/2010/11/10/20101110el-mirage-council-pro-luke-air-force-base.html#ixzz1mYobuOGJ
Increasing public disapproval over the City Council's position on Luke Air Force Base eventually led to a sweep by Pro Luke candidates in the 2010 elections, taking 5 out of 5 open spots. An article on lukeforward.com noted that "In 2009 and 2010, a large group of El Mirage residents became increasingly alarmed at the City's stance on Luke and the subsequent negative perception of their community. They formed an activist group known as the People of El Mirage (POEM) to demonstrate strong support for the base and its personnel, many of whom reside in El Mirage. Five members of that group went on to run for city council and ended up taking over all five of the seats up for election. "We believed strongly the position the Council was taking was not reflective of how our community truly felt," said newly-elected Mayor Lana Mook. "The vast majority of us supported Luke AFB and didn't understand why this wasn't being reflected in the public."

Matt Salmon's lobbying contract with El Mirage ended August 31, 2010, two months before the majority of the town's leadership was thrown out of office for supporting the very same issues on which he lobbied.
