According to a little birdie (meaning a source I can't name, but who I trust) Republican Wendy Rogers, late of a losing campaign for state senate (she challenged and lost to David Schapira in 2010), was at a Republican LD meeting this week talking up a run for Congress in the new 9th Congressional District.
Apparently, she is still so ticked at Schapira for defeating her once, she wants to give him a chance to do it again (Schapira is already running in CD9)...
Anyway, the rumor looks spot on - while her paperwork isn't on the FEC's website, her legislative campaign website has been reborn as a Congressional campaign site.
I have met Wendy Rogers and prefer her stated policy to those of Schapira but if she couldn't beat him then I fail to see how she could beat him now.
ReplyDeleteI worked the polls for Schapira when he first ran for office and have been unimpressed with his record since (although he is a Democrat and I should hardly be surprised he votes as one).
Unless Rogers can bag a unique position she can beat Schapira with (SB 1070 might be it, though I don't personally think so) she should find another position to run for.
