Richer is the current Maricopa County Recorder.
I spent some time watching the R debate for Maricopa County Recorder, sponsored by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission and the Arizona Media Association.
Richer seems, well, "competent."
Justin Heap, a current state legislator, was simply a conspiracy theory-spouting hot mess.
However, the other R primary candidate, Donald Hiatt, made Heap seem polished and well-rounded.
During his opening statement, at the 6:04 mark, he conflated the Ten Commandments with the U.S. Constitution.
And things went downhill from there.
In his defense, he did frequently point out that he is not a politician.
It showed.
If R voters like vagueness, they'll vote for Heap or Hiatt.
Stringham is probably hoping they do.
