Arizona Republican Party Sends Second Mail Piece for Gabe Evans

  • 2 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district.

As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ years of involvement in Colorado politics, but it potentially could have been categorized as a vendor error or something similar.

Not anymore.

We received a tip on Monday about another pro-Evans mailer from the Arizona Republican Party that eliminates the possibility of a one-off mistake

 

Again, this is quite strange and is not something we have encountered before in Colorado politics. It’s not ideal for a candidate to be receiving help like this from another state, so why is it happening for Evans?

We created this helpful graphic for Arizona Republican Party officials.

It’s entirely possible that the Colorado Republican Party has neither the means nor the ability to produce direct mail for Evans after spending most of its time (and money) litigating internal squabbles. The Colorado GOP is being all but looted by Chairman Dave Williams and didn’t appear to spend a dime helping other Republican candidates in August. To the extent that the Colorado GOP is doing any electioneering work, it is mostly centered around promoting unfounded nonsense about schools conducting sex-change surgeries and/or a nefarious plot from administrators and teacher’s unions to turn children into drag queens.

We won’t know until at least next week — when the next round of financial disclosures are required — as to how much money the Arizona Republican Party is spending to promote candidates who are NOT IN ARIZONA. This is a story that demands additional reporting and investigation; the answer could say a lot about both the Colorado Republican Party and the Arizona Republican Party.

  1. The Republican Party has outsourced its ground game to Super-Pacs, Xitter, and Cambridge Analytica.

    Local Republican Party organizations are doing very little outreach on their own these days, especially now that Trump took over the Party and fired its professional staff. This allows unlimited spending, with some restrictions. These mailers come from only a few firms that offer the marketing campaigns, that send them out all over the country.

    It would be interesting to see the extent to which the mail-order firms are adhering properly to the rules on using super-PAC money.

  2. This is the same crap that is playing on Fox News on the big screens of local restaurants and bars. I recognize the same unflattering pic of Dr. Caraveo.  Goddess only knows what misinformation is playing on the local Spanish language stations.
