Cheryl Cage
for
Arizona State Senate
Legislative District 26
Cheryl Cage has cut her own path in life. Seeing opportunities others missed, she doggedly built a business and became a leader in the aviation industry.
The state senate needs that kind of insight and effort now more than ever. It needs a listener, not pontificators.
It needs a pragmatist, not radicals. Southern Arizona needs Cheryl Cage because all of Arizona deserves better.
No southern Arizona law maker has lost a general election in 18 years. Incumbents will take voters for granted until voters demand to be taken seriously. Help Cheryl Cage as she fights to take back our corner of the state senate. Don’t help her for her. Help her for you.
And help her build a better future for all of Arizona.
Jan. 14, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cage Support Shows Southern Arizona Wants Change.
The people of southern Arizona are standing up and supporting Democratic State Senate candidate Cheryl Cage's bid to bring the voice of mainstream southern Arizona values to the state capitol.
Cage raised $32,000 in the year preceding the legislative election, with most donations being under $100.00. This show of support is unequaled in recent history and demonstrates, as of now, the Cage-Melvin race will be the one to watch in southern Arizona.
The $32,000 she raised is almost exactly the amount she would be allowed to spend for an entire campaign, were she and her opponent receiving state funds. The campaign has more than $30,000 cash on hand going into this pivotal election year.
Cage will fight for better public schools, a stronger economy and pledges to listen to all sides in the political debate. She knows that as long as Arizona ranks last in classroom spending, the state is forfeiting the 21st Century. She knows that the right industries, including solar, can create and sustain quality jobs that will build a better economy.
Her opponent, Sen. Al Melvin (R-Saddlebrooke), has used the state budget crisis as an excuse to wage his war on public schools and those most hurt by the crash of his "anything goes" economic theories. As vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee, he's failed to deliver a balanced budget more than six months after the constitutional deadline. When questioned Melvin returns to the tired old political practice of hurling epithets, rather than engaging in debate.
"Southern Arizona is tired of failed economic policies and narrow ideological warfare substituting for sound government, Cage said. "I'm grateful for the support that will bring inclusive leadership to the state capitol and I will fight hard for southern Arizona."
