Schweikert Accountable to Nobody

We had high hopes for former Maricopa County Treasurer David Schweikert. Able to write himself huge checks ($250,000) for his race for Congress, David was spotted by EspressoPundit filming TV commercials. But apparently he’s planning on running a pure advertising campaign because he denied voters the ability to hear from him when he refused to participate in a Q&A session with PolitickerAZ.com.

It is too bad that Schweikert thinks he can go through this race without answering questions while other candidates are doing their best to outline how they’d represent us as conservatives in Congress. Denying the voters an opportunity to hear is not very conservative. It's liberal, and reflects an arrogance that only Harry Mitchell and the Democrats would demonstrate.

Former State Representative Laura Knaperek, on the other hand, answered the survey’s questions with precision and depth, winning Round 1 of “who is the best conservative.”
