Lacy Cooper and Matt Salmon both say the party's current trajectory is unsustainable and that it should return to core principles.
Failed candidate Solomon Pena was arrested for his role in a number of drive-by shootings that targeted Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque, NM.As Arizona Republicans are set to vote for a new leader Saturday, two candidates who ran in the GOP's August primary hope the election changes the party's direction following big losses in November.
Another Republican who hopes to see the party forge a new path is former state party chairman and former Congressman Matt Salmon, who ran in the primary for Arizona governor but announced he was dropping out of that race shortly before early voting startedCooper and Salmon both said they believe the party's current trajectory is unsustainable. But while prospects for GOP unification may appear grim, they said they cannot imagine leaving it.
She said the values the Republican Party was founded are getting ignored, such as limited government, low taxes, and the conservative constructionist judicial philosophy. "The idea of whether or not you're a valid Republican today, or a purist Republican, has nothing to do with the ideas that you believe or espouse, or the policies that you advocate for. It has everything to do with: 'Are you going to buy into my crazy conspiracy?'" Salmon said.
