Daniel Veres: The better alternative to Leah Landrum for Senate in District 16

If you live in District 16 (south & central Phoenix), and think Leah Landrum (D) is too radical and fiscally irresponsible, consider voting for Daniel Veres (R) instead on Tuesday. Landrum received an F+ from the Goldwater Institute last year for her dismal record on fiscal responsibility. She received a 45 ranking from Americans for Prosperity last year, even worse than Janet Napolitano's score. AFP labels her a "Friend of Big Government."

Take a look at what Daniel has to say:

In 2006, I decided to run for the State Senate because I believe we Arizonans deserve world-class public schools, affordable health care for families, and a legislature that makes good use of our tax dollars. Less than two years later, we have a record number of failing schools, longer emergency room waits, and billion-dollar deficits for the foreseeable future.
