Time to update the "Silly Wild Ass Guess" (SWAG) list of who is running for office in 2012. The new district maps have not been approved and sent to DOJ, yet alone litigated in court, but there are a number of campaign committees for 2012 based upon current legislative districts. State law permits candidates to collect signatures in the current districts as well as in the new districts.
As you might expect, this list is going to be subject to change when new districts have been established. I am hoping that the Secretary of State will provide a conversion table for filing by current district and new district (hint, hint). And as always, candidates will come and go.
I will periodically update the list. You can follow along at home at the Arizona Secretary of State's web site Campaign Finance Search – Candidates.
Filer ID # beginning "2012" except where indicated (*). Some committees are exploratory committees.
