Gorman Exploring CD 3 Race
State Senator Pamela Gorman announced that she will form an exploratory committee to consider the race for Congress in Arizona’s Third Congressional District. Senator Gorman currently represents District 6 in the Arizona Legislature. She was first elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2004 after defeating 2 incumbents in the Republican primary. She was subsequently elected to the Arizona State Senate in 2006 after winning her primary by nearly 30 percentage points.
A strong conservative, Pamela Gorman was one of only two Republican senators to receive the “Hero of the Taxpayer” award from the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers. Senator Gorman is chair of the Senate Financial Institutions, Insurance, and Retirement committee.
“Congressman John Shadegg has done an excellent job representing AZ-03 in Congress,” said Senator Gorman. “His principled leadership on issues like taxation, the elimination of earmarks, and reducing the size and cost of government, has been nothing short of exemplary. I believe it’s vitally important that the next member of Congress from AZ-03 have the same commitment to fight for these important issues as Congressman Shadegg has.
“Over the next couple of weeks, I look forward to meeting supporters all across the district as we make our decision on whether or not to run for Congress,” continued Gorman. “I have been blessed with the privilege of representing many of the citizens of AZ-03 in the Legislature. Now is the time to decide if running for Congress is the best way to continue my service to my constituents and the citizens of this Congressional district.
Go Pamela!!

There are a variety of reasons why she shouldn't do it. The legislature is on TV now. All you have to do is watch her to see why she is not ready for the jump.
