Chris and Sean begin march down musical memory lane remembering past concerts of U2, REM, Echo and the Bunnymen, RUSH, and REO Speedwagon on an everything 80’s music rant – before remembering an esteemed member of the Arizona congressional delegation – Andy Biggs – is an accomplished musician. Andy is also leading Karin Taylor Robson by some 30 or 40 points in the Republican primary for Governor of Arizona – depending on what polls you look at – and was recently endorsed by President Trump – further complicating Karin’s path to victory.
Karin, meanwhile, was suspiciously absent at the Arizona Chamber Update from Capitol Hill Luncheon – which included Congressman Biggs, along with Juan Ciscomani, Eli Crane and Abe Hamadeh. AND, we can finally answer the question of #WhereIsMarkKelly? He attended the Update along with Arizona junior Senator Ruben Gallego to prove to the audience that the policies and politics of business and trade are not their strong suits.
Chris and Sean remember the mentorship and fortitude of former Congressman Bob Stump and continue to marvel at his former Chief of Staff, Lisa Atkins, to whom they owe much for their love and understanding of politics. In fact, Arizona owes much to an Arizona delegation that has historically punched above it’s weight with giant figures like Ernest McFarland, Barry Goldwater, John Rhodes, Mo Udall, John McCain and John Kyl. Regardless of our differences, the better angels of our delegation have always looked out for Arizona. #MustListen
