LD 30 candidates debate (KUAT and Clean Elections)

by on Sep. 29, 2010, under Life, Politics

On September 29, KUAT Channel 6 is hosting a televised debate between Republican LD 30 State Senator Frank Antenori and challenger Democrat Dr. Todd Camenisch, at 6:30 p.m.
You can view it online at: www.azpm.org (usually a few hours before the debate and thereafter).

The next day the three candidates running for LD 30 State House (Rep. David Gowan, Rep. Ted Vogt, and Andrea Dalessandro) will face off at an Arizona Clean Elections Commission (CCEC) debate live in Tucson, at the Pima Community College East Campus, 8181 E. Irvington Rd., at 6 p.m. Gowan is running “clean” and the other two are running traditionally.

Senator Frank Antenori was appointed to this position in February, 2010 when then LD 30 Senator Jonathan Paton resigned to run for CD 8 House (which he lost to political newcomer Jesse Kelly in the GOP primary). Antenori was one of the 2 freshman house legislators in that district since January, 2009 and is program manager in the Aerospace-Defense industry. Dr. Camenisch serves on the Catalina Foothills School District Governing Board and is a professor at the U of A in the College of Pharmacy.

The other 2 Republican house legislators elected Rep. David Gowan and appointed Rep. Ted Vogt are both running for re-election, on the same team as Senator Antenori.

Gowan is a magazine distributor. Vogt was a 3rd year law student at the U of A when he was appointed in March, 2010. Their Democratic challenger is Andrea Dalessandro, who ran before for this same position in November, 2008, and is a retired CPA/teacher/small business operator of a tax practice.

    And if you want to see these candidates live tonight go to Catalina Foothills HS forum at 6 p.m. (4300 E. Sunrise Drive):
    http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2010/09/29/candidate-forum-tonight
    Weekly reports that “The following candidates are expected to be there: Superintendent of Public Schools candidates Penny Kotterman (D) and John Huppenthal (R); Legislative District 26 candidates Al Melvin (R) and Cheryl Cage (D) for the Senate, and Vic Williams (R), Terri Proud (R), and Nancy Young Wright (D) for the House; and Legislative District 30 candidates Todd Camenisch (D) and Frank Antenori (R) for the Senate, Andrea Dalessandro (D), David Gowan (R), and Ted Vogt (R) for the House.”

      Huppenthal, Antenori, Gowan and Vogt all declined to attend this Family Faculty Organization forum tonight at Catalina Foothills HS.  Over 100 people there to hear the candidates speak about education, but it was an unusual forum as there was only 1 question for all candidates – “how did they view the relationsip between strong public education & recovery of the Arizona economy?” Then the 6 Catalina Foothills Governing Bd. candidates asked individual questions of only 3 candidates, followed by audience questions (all different 3 x) to each candidate only.  I would have liked to hear all legislative candidates answer the same questions, so it was a bit unfair as some questions were easier than others.   Video of this forum supposed to be on Cox Communications later as part of the Advanced Media Class program. LD 28 House candidate Bruce Wheeler was also in the audience.
