GOSAR STAFF PROBLEMS HIGHLIGHED

posted by Andrea Kelly

In an article today, the Washington, D.C. newspaper Politico reported Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, (R-01) has had staffing problems.

The article says two of the Republican's staffers have connections to former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Apparently that's caused some problems, and the story quotes heavily from an email former Gosar staffer Stefani Zimmerman wrote in January, the first month Gosar was in office. Zimmerman and other staffers left Gosar's office this summer.

Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick jumped into the conversation later today, sending the article to her Congressional campaign email list. Gosar beat Kirkpatrick after her first term in Congress, and she is running against him in 2012.
