Updated SWAG Re: Early Filers For 2012

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

AZFlag Time for an update to the "Silly Wild Ass Guess" (SWAG) list of who is running for office in 2012. The district maps have not even been drawn, yet alone litigated in court, but there are a number of campaign committees for 2012 based upon current legislative districts.

As you might expect, this list is going to be subject to change when new districts have been established by the AIRC. 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.
