Green Party’s Shocking Primary Fallout | Tucson News

Arizona’s Green Party is in chaos after two of its own candidates—Risa Lombardo and Duwayne Collier—won primary races despite being labeled “sham candidates” by the party, allegedly backed by Republicans. Both beat the party’s endorsed write-ins, drawing over 400 votes each. Now, with the governor’s race expected to be razor-close, the Green Party fears their voters may unintentionally swing the election if they support these candidates instead of the Democrat. Complicating matters further, both campaigns have been deeply entwined with the Arizona Republican Party and funneled millions to a mysterious Nevada business—only to end up nearly broke by July. The Nevada firm’s leadership shifted rapidly post-launch, and its founders have ties to GOP consulting. The Green Party vows to file complaints and urges voters to reject Lombardo and Collier, calling out Republicans for hypocrisy while pushing “election integrity.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
