How I Intend To Vote: State Offices

State Senator District 18
Russell Pearce.
Here's what I said about Pearce for the primary: "Pearce has a rock-solid record of advocating lower taxes, reducing government waste, and fighting illegal immigration. He also understands economics, and has been a supporter of legislative measures that would reduce health care costs and improve conditions in hospital emergency rooms (without increasing taxes)."

State Representative District 18
Cecil Ash.
Steve Court.
Ash: "has the right position on all the big issues of the day, and because he has been a volunteer for United Families International he's an obvious choice."

Court: see this intro paragraph for explanation.

Corporation Commissioner
Either:
  1. Vote for all three Republicans, or
  2. Just cast one vote for Bob Stump, who has a conservative record in the state legislature.

I'll probably just vote for Stump, that way my votes for Wong or McClure wouldn't push Stump out of the way. In any case, the three Democratic candidates are all in favor of arbitrary alternative energy programs that, while not terrible in and of themselves, would make electricity rates more expensive for us ordinary folk.
