Liz Carter for Congress: Because It’s Time to Tip Over and Capsize Hank Johnson

This afternoon I opened my e-mail inbox and saw (a) a message from Conor Friedersdorf and (b) a message from a minister at the Georgia church attended by Carol Purdy, my third-grade crush.  Obviously, I chose to read the latter, which said: Met Liz Carter again today — her campaign for GA-4 now has national recognition thanks to […]

VIDEO: Interview With Vernon Parker, AZ-3 Republican Candidate

During a fund-raiser Tuesday at his home in Paradise Valley, I interviewed Mayor Vernon Parker, who is running for Congress in Arizona’s 3rd District.
