Former State Sen. Jonathan Paton has announced his candidacy for the state's First Congressional District.

Ann Kirkpatrick is honored to announce the endorsements of law-enforcement leaders across Arizona's Congressional District 1 -- sheriffs or county attorneys from Apache, Coconino, Gila, Greenlee, Navajo, Pima and Pinal counties.

The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced that Jonathan Paton has reached ‘Young Gun’ status, the top tier of the Committee’s four-level ‘Young Gun’ recruitment program. Founded during the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ‘Young Guns’ program is a Member-driven effort that is the primary method for recruiting strong candidates for both open-seat and challenger races. Paton is running for Arizona’s First Congressional District.

Today, U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., launches a week of meetings and events across Congressional District One with visits to Marana and Oro Valley.

When the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission created Congressional District 1 last year, many couldn’t believe the size.

Members of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee have elected U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., to be the ranking member of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee in the 113th Congress. She has also been assigned to serve on the Economic Opportunity Subcommittee.

Jonathan Paton’s military service, combat experience in Iraq and support for the troops and veterans has earned him the support of Move America Forward, one of the nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troops organizations.

The White Mountain Independent, a top news source for Eastern Arizona communities including Show Low, Holbrook, St. Johns and Snowflake, endorsed Congressional District 1 candidate Ann Kirkpatrick on Friday.

If Ann Kirkpatrick wants to win back her seat in Congress, she’s eventually going to have to face CD1 voters in a public setting. As a candidate for Federal office, you’d think that Kirkpatrick would want to address the people she’d be representing in Congress. Yet, so far, Kirkpatrick has refused to attend nearly every public event hosted for the CD1 Congressional candidates, including forums and debates. Her campaign has cited “scheduling conflicts” as the reason for her non-appearance. However, I am convinced that this pattern stems more from Kirkpatrick not wanting to answer questions about her record in Congress than having a conflicting campaign schedule.

Name: Ann Kirkpatrick

U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., announced that she has been appointed to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Veterans’ Affairs Committee in the 113th Congress. Kirkpatrick is the only Arizonan serving on either of the House committees.
