At the AZ Lege, some folks are setting things up for it to become an example of "what's old is new again"

And, for once, I'm talking about the Rs' desire to return society to the 1930's or earlier (you know, times of massive corruption, massive breadlines, and massive lynchings).


Nope, I'm talking about how certain former members of the legislature are seeking to return there.


I've already written about the candidacy of former Senate president Steve Yarbrough in his quest to return to the lege, this time in the House.


It's still early, but Republican former rep Walt Blackman has formed a committee for a return to the House from LD7.  In 2022, he ran for Congress and lost in the primary. -











Republican Vince Leach is looking to return to the Senate from LD17 -










He's not exactly a good public servant, but he lost a primary fight with the wildly controversial Justine Wadsack, the current state senator from that district and someone who laughs at sane when she sees it in her rearview mirror.

Also having a committee is former legislator Bob Stump, but I'm not sure that he's running - it's a *very* old committee and isn't set up for his current district.










The committee is set up for LD9 but he lives in LD27.
