Tobin Opts out of CD 1 Race

In a letter this weekend to family and friends Andy Tobin decided to end his consideration for the Republican Congressional Race in Arizona District 1.

"It has been an incredible honor just to have been considered. I have felt a real appreciation for the sacrifice and yet the honor and trust to have serve my neighbors in Washington D.C." Tobin said Sunday.

Tobin will now concentrate on a re-election campaign for the Arizona House of Representatives this fall. Citing incredible pressures on state finance and his efforts in support of Arizona's education improvements. Tobin hopes to continue his efforts to grow Arizona's economy, protect our future and provide and defend Arizona's families.

Tobin said that "Gheral Brownlow, (former Yavapai County Supervisor and long time friend) and my dad John Tobin Sr. will be honorary chairman. I can't think of a better team to start up the '08 Campaign".

Tobin will be announcing his campaign team shortly and welcomes volunteers to contact tobinforstatehouse@yahoo.com to join in.

Too bad his email of the announcement features a giant headline that reads "Tobin Haults Congressional Run"

Why don't elected officials use spell checkers?

Andy Tobin is a god guy with a common sense attitude and realistic views of educational reform. That means he actually thinks the state may be the cause for some of the trouble....go figure!

More interesting is his endorsement of Mayes in his letter.
