Unfortunately, the filing notes that she has now spent nearly $225,000 on the competitive race to replace Sen. Jon Kyl; she previously (Oct. 24) filed that she had spent $100,000 on another mailer for Flake in his battle with Democratic nominee Richard Carmona. Either she did not file another $100,000 expenditure, or there was an error on today's filing.
The Governor has now spent $276,993.20 on mailers supporting the Republican candidates in the Arizona Senate race and the three competitive House races. She has collected large contributions from around the country, including a $110,000 check from Copart and its owner.
Arizona's Politics reported on the Texas fundraiser that was partly funded and/or hosted by a major payday lender that maintains a chain of title loan shops and check cashing offices in Arizona (as well as Ross Perot, Jr. and a Texas lawmaker who has close ties to the payday lending industry). Shortly after receiving $35,000 from that fundraiser, Jan PAC sent out a $35,567.15 mailer attacking former Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who has tried to nickname her GOP opponent Jonathan "Payday" Paton for his connections to the payday lending industry.
