MORE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Congresswoman Michelle Bachman is heading to the state Capitol on Monday to meet with members of the state Senate as well as Congressman Trent Franks, and Sheriff Larry Dever.

An official with the state Senate says Bachman asked for the meeting so she could learn more about border enforcement.


JERRY LEWIS AIRING TV ADS, TOO

Earlier this week we told you about Senate President Russell Pearce's recall campaign ads. Since then, his opponent Jerry Lewis has also taken to the airwaves to convince Mesa voters he should be their next state Senator.

Lewis has an ad airing this week, according to the Arizona Capitol Times. The ad isn't up on Lewis' website yet, but if it shows up, we'll post it here.

The two Republicans are competing for the state Senate seat in Mesa, after Pearce opponents successfully called a recall election.
