At its monthly meeting, the Pachyderm Coalition unanimously endorsed several candidates in contested Republican primaries. The Pachyderm Coalition is a Republican Club that focuses primarily on state legislative races and also makes its voice heard in some local and congressional races.

In State Senate primaries, the following candidates were endorsed in these legislative districts (LDs): Steve Pierce in LD1, Jack Harper in LD4, Russell Pearce in LD18, Thayer Verschoor in LD22, and Al Melvin in LD26.

These candidates were endorsed for State House of Representatives: Nancy McClain in LD3, Sam Crump and Carl Seel in LD6, Jerry Weiers and Steve Montenegro in LD12, Ron Middlebrook in LD18, and Jeff Dial and John McComish in LD20.

For Corporation Commission, Rick Fowlkes, Joseph Hobbs, and Keith Swapp were endorsed.

In US House of Representative primaries, Sydney Hay was endorsed for CD1 and Dave Schweikert for CD5.

In the Maricopa County Assessor race, Kevin Ross was endorsed. Positive comments were made concerning his taxpayer friendly policies including fostering openness and responsiveness to taxpayers in the Assessor's office.

For Justice of the Peace in Desert Ridge, Paul Henderson was endorsed.

The Pachyderm Coalition seeks promote the Republican platform by endorsing candidates who support the platform, support Reagan Republican policies, and are willing to work in their political offices to implement the platform and these policies as effectively as possible.

Endorsements of candidates for state and local offices allows the Pachyderm Coalition's political action committee to spend money to support them. Pachyderm Coalition members are encouraged to volunteer to support all endorsed candidates with their time and personal financial contributions.

For candidates without contested primaries, the Pachyderm Coalition plans to announce endorsements for the general election at its meeting next month. General election endorsements for candidates in contested primaries will be announced at the September meeting.
