Press releases from the Greg Stanton for Mayor of Phoenix campaigns:
STANTON MOVES FORWARD TO RUN-OFF IN FIRST PLACE
RELEASES CAMPAIGN’S FIRST AD: ‘HE’S OUR GUY’
PHOENIX – The race for the future of our city has officially begun.
Greg Stanton emerged strongly in first place as one of two candidates moving on to the November 8 mayoral election. He faces a head-to-head contest against one of the state’s most powerful private lobbyists, who has already received big-money help from anonymous special interest groups.
“Our opponent may have his lobbying clients writing checks, but the women and men of law enforcement have our back,” Stanton told hundreds of supporters gathered at Tuesday’s election-night rally. “They may have hundreds of thousands of dollars in anonymous special interest money to put out negative ads, but we have an unstoppable army of neighborhood volunteers going door to door and winning this race the right way. They may outspend us, but they won’t outwork us – because while they’re looking for a pay-out, we’re fighting for our future.”
Stanton thanked the hundreds of volunteers and supporters who have made phone calls, walked door-to-door, hosted neighborhood events, and spread the word amongst friends and family.
“Our campaign has been the biggest grassroots effort our city has ever seen, and it is something to be proud of,” Stanton said. “But we can’t rest now. To win on November 8th, and to realize our shared vision for Phoenix, we must re-double our efforts and work even harder.”
Also on Tuesday, Stanton released his first ad of the election.
“This ad reflects the optimism I have for our future, because I know the opportunities for Phoenix are limitless and the talent in our city is unrivalled,” Stanton said of the ad.

REPUBLICANS LINE UP FOR GREG STANTON
MORE THAN 100 GOP ENDORSERS SHOWS BROAD BI-PARTISAN SUPPORT
PHOENIX – Republican supporters from across the community are rapidly and publicly lining up behind mayoral Candidate Greg Stanton, who emerged Tuesday with a solid first-place lead heading into the Nov. 8 run-off election. Stanton announced today that more than 115 GOP supporters, with more signing on every day, have publicly endorsed his plan to create high-paying jobs, improve education for our kids and reduce lobbyist influence in local government.
“I know Greg and I support him for the same reasons that so many Democrats, independents and my fellow Republicans support him: He’s the right person for the job,” said Jack LaSota, a Republican and former Arizona Attorney General. “This is not about partisanship for me. Greg has the best experience and the most proven ability to bring the right kind of jobs to Phoenix and to diversify and strengthen our economy. He will be a great mayor for the City of Phoenix.”
Stanton agreed with LaSota, saying that the strong bi-partisan support he’s received throughout the campaign indicates that Phoenix voters are focused on the important challenges facing their city. During his time on the City Council, Stanton, a Democrat, represented District 6 (Arcadia, Biltmore, North Central and Ahwatukee-Foothills), one of the most Republican regions of the City.
“The fact that I have strong support from Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, and from all areas of the city, shows that partisanship does not matter in this race,” said Stanton. “Bringing more jobs to Phoenix and strengthening our schools are not partisan issues.”
