LD10

The Arizona chapter of the AFL-CIO, the country's largest federation of unions, released its list of endorsements in congressional and state races late Thursday night. It is a list that heavily favors Democratic candidates.

While some Democrats were left out - such as state House candidates Lamont Lovejoy in Legislative District 10 and Eve Nuñez in LD12 - only one Republican made it onto the list: Jon Altmann, running for state representative in LD11.

All eight Democratic congressional candidates in the state, plus the three Democrats running for Arizona Corporation Commission, were endorsed by the Arizona AFL-CIO as well.

Critics call him a dreamer, an upstart, a nuisance or a joke. But Leonard Clark, chairman of the effort to recall Joe Arpaio and Andrew Thomas and a prospective candidate for an LD10 House seat, tells PolitickerAZ he isn't going away any time soon.

Leonard Clark, an Iraq War veteran and the Chairman of Arizonans for the U.S. Constitution - a group dedicated to the recall of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas - is taking on a new role: candidate for the Arizona House from Legislative District 12.
