Republican Matt Caldwell to kick off campaign for District 1 Pima County Supervisor
by Carolyn Classen on Jul. 11, 2011, under Life, Politics
Matt Caldwell is a political newcomer, who operates a flooring business, and recently in 2010 received his M.B.A. from the U of A Eller School of Business. He is originally from Illinois, and served in the U.S. Army.
His kick off event will be on July 14 at 5:30 p.m., at the Metropolitan Grill, 7892 N. Oracle Rd.
For more information, log onto his campaign website, www.caldwellforsupervisor.com, or email him at matt@caldwellforsupervisor.com or call 520-404-5264.
Caldwell may be challenging fellow Republican District 1 Pima County Supervisor Ann Day, who has served in that position since 2000, and was a State Senator prior to that for 10 years. For my previous blog about the Pima County Board of Supervisors, click here. All Board members are all up for re-election in 2012.
Other possible contenders in this Republican 2012 primary in District 1 may be 2 term LD 26 House Rep. Vic Williams, and businessman Joe Higgins, who received 47.19% of the vote in the 2008 primary race against Day (52.74%).
My understanding is that Supervisor Day will announce her plans for re-election (or not) in early August. She will be speaking on July 28, 6-7 p.m.
Where: Nanini Branch Library, 7300 N. Shannon Rd, as part of the “Meet Me at the Library: Conversations with Arizona Leaders program”.
The daughter of a pioneering ranching family, Supervisor Day grew up on the Lazy B Ranch in Eastern Arizona. The working cattle ranch was started by her grandfather in 1880, and was in her family for 114 years.
