Just play along ... A debate hosted by Ketelaar Accounting and attended by hundreds of voters and four of the six candidates got rowdy Thursday night after candidate Doug Ducey refused to answer a curve-ball question: If President Obama issued an executive order stating it's illegal to vote for yourself, who in the race would you vote for?
Christine Jones gave her vote to Ken Bennett. Bennett gave his to Scott Smith. But Ducey refused to answer the question and got two sustained boos and shouts.
Frank Riggs, too, refused to answer, saying he doesn't do hypotheticals. But he redeemed himself with the crowd after saying he supports candidates with "ethics and integrity."
Jones won the group's straw poll, earning 43 percent of the vote.
Promises, promises ... Candidates love a good campaign promise, and a favorite among conservatives is to promise to give back all or part of your public salary. But Legislative District 13 Senate Republican candidate Toby Farmer is taking the promise to a new level. He is promising to donate his entire annual $24,000 legislative salary to teachers, if elected.
"As the son of two public school teachers, I know what these teachers go through," Farmer said in a statement. "They're underpaid, underappreciated, and it seems like they are receiving less support from the Legislature every year."
Insider wonders if the move was a jab at opponent Sen. Don Shooter, R-Yuma, who last year faced misdemeanor charges and accepted a plea deal after barging into his grandson's Yuma high-school classroom and confronting the boy's teacher.
Yep when confronted with a tough question Doug runs and hides.
Here's some more info on Doug
