No, not that Jerry Lewis. Maybe former state treasurer Dean Martin will also run.
Mesa Republican Jerry Lewis is expected to announce Tuesday that he will challenge "King" Russell Pearce in the November recall election. Pearce challenger Jerry Lewis to make it official – Arizona Capitol Times (subscription required):
Jerry Lewis, an accountant and charter school executive, is planning a round of media interviews to presumably explain why he wants to take on Senate President Russell Pearce, the first sitting legislator to face a recall.

That he’s even considering a run means Lewis, a 30-year resident of west Mesa, is undaunted.
His camp maintains he is disconnected with the recall effort.
One of Lewis’ early supporters, Dea Montague, an attorney and former mission president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said he doesn’t believe Pearce represents the majority of voters in his district.
Besides offering a leadership style that strives for consensus, Lewis will “help give Arizona and Mesa and District 18 a better brand,” Montague said last week.
The recall election is set for Nov. 8. Time to go to work people! Take back Arizona.
