Terry Goddard Will Protect Voters

“Dark Money” is money contributed anonymously by people, groups and corporations to support candidates and issues with the intent of infl uencing elections. “Dark money” seeks out issues and candidates that support their own agendas. “Dark money” has proven to be a political tsunami. Anonymous organizations are now spending unlimited amounts of money to infl uence elections, while they hide their own identities from the public. Why are anonymous

contributions so dangerous? It’s trite but true: often where you stand depends upon where you sit. People, businesses and corporations have always contributed to political campaigns. In the past, however, most contributions were made openly. When voters know who is supporting a candidate or an issue, it helps them make more informed decisions. “Dark money” is dangerous because we don’t know who is supporting the candidate or the issue. We also don’t know why they

are supporting that person or ballot issue, or what they expect to get in return for spending such large amounts of money. “Dark money” is also scary because it stops the fl ow of good, factual information and tries to infl uence voters with half-truths and innuendo. “Dark money”-funded campaigns get away with this because when no one is accountable the facts don’t matter. The real loser in this political game is the voting public, because “dark money” leaves voters in the dark.

Why should I be afraid?

DARKMONEY

Why are you running for Secretary of State? I’m running because the Arizona we want is not the Arizona we’re getting. Bills like HB 2305 threatened important voters’ rights. Others, like SB 1062, held us up to National ridicule. As Secretary of State, I want to restore Arizona to be the nationally respected, innovative, and moderate state it has been for most of its 102 years.

The Secretary of State is

Arizona’s chief election offi cer. The offi ce is responsible for making sure that every citizen has his or her vote counted and voice heard. As the offi cial charged with registering and monitoring lobbyists, the Secretary of State is responsible for ensuring that special interests have the right to make their case, but not make our decisions. And as the offi cial overseeing our campaign fi nance system,

the Secretary of State is responsible for seeing that elections don’t just go to the highest bidder.

I believe that it’s long past time – overdue – that we have a Secretary of State who does this job and does it well.

The Offi ce of Secretary of State is a good place to start to restore Arizona. Elections are the picture we paint of ourselves...

PHOENIX, AZ – Terry Goddard announced his plan for the Secretary of State’s offi ce, including how to get Dark Money out of Arizona.

“Dark Money is a major threat to our democracy, and I can think of no bigger issue for our next Secretary of State,” said Goddard. “My plan will attack Dark Money from every angle – and is the culmination of months of research and consultation with some of the leading state and national election law experts.”

“Since the fi rst day of this campaign, I’ve told voters that I’m running to take on Dark Money and get it out of our state,” Goddard added. “This plan shows how I’ll do it.”

For full details of the Goddard Plan Against Dark Money, go to www.terrygoddard.com.

GODDARD’S FOUR POINT PLAN:

>> Make the offi ce of Secretary of State non-partisan and free from political games: The job of the Secretary of State is to represent ALL voters so every vote counts and is counted. Partisan politics has no place in this offi ce.

>> Stop “Dark Money”, and put a stop to the anonymous political contributions that are swamping our elections and trying to infl uence your vote: As Secretary of State, I will work to identify and disclose the names of people and corporations hiding behind these faceless groups.

Voters deserve to know who is supporting “Dark Money” organizations. Transparency should become the rule in Arizona.

>> Make the electoral system work for all legal voters: I will use the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) money sitting at the offi ce of Secretary of State to make our voting process easier and less confusing.

Voting is a fundamental right for all eligible citizens. It should be made easier, not harder.

>> Empower Independents, the largest group of voters in our state: As Secretary of State I will help Independents understand their rights so they can participate fully in the political process. Today, Independents have a much harder time than other voters. That is wrong!

A Conversation with Terry Goddard

TERRY SPEAKS OUT

www.TerryGoddard.com

“I want to get back to the moderate state I grew up in. The offi ce most responsible for getting people to the polls is the Secretary of State. So I just couldn’t sit on the sidelines. What we have now is a group of politicians trying to pick their voters – rather than the voters picking their politicians.”

-Terry Goddard

Page A2 The Roadrunner Gazette, Election Edition

The Rise of the Independent Voter

Independents are the largest group of eligible voters in Arizona, but

their votes are being suppressed by a legislature, governor and secretary of state all desperate to maintain the status quo.

Did you know that voters with (I) after their names make up 35% of all registered voters in this state? That’s 1.1 million people who hold an enormous amount of power if they vote. They could moderate the extremes that have taken over this state and put Arizona back on track to excellence.

Terry Goddard has found that most people who are registering as Independents do so to make a strong statement that they are sick of the political attack culture, much of it funded by “dark money” that has swamped our political system. Becoming an Independent is their way of announcing that they want to play a role to change our politics for the better.

So why aren’t Independents voting? Because the legislature and the governor have made it hard for Independents to vote. Our voting system should empower everyone equally, whether Republican, Democrat or Independent. But, Arizona’s current leaders don’t seem to want Independents to have fair treatment. At best, Independents get shoddy treatment; at worst, it’s malicious.

Terry Goddard has found ample evidence pointing to a clear strategy to keep Independents

from holding offi ce. Independents who want to run for statewide offi ces face much tougher, state-imposed standards to qualify than candidates who come with an R or D after their names. Democrats and Republicans need about 7,000 valid signatures to qualify to run for offi ce. Independent candidates must gather 33,000 valid signatures – nearly 5 times those of Rs and Ds. Candidates who belong to the Democrat or Republican parties get a free list of voters. Independents must pay for this same list.

In 2013, H.B. 2305 – which was repealed – was particularly harmful to Independents and members of third parties. It raised the number of petition signatures required for Libertarians to get on the ballot by 4,000%! It “scrubbed” the Permanent Early Voter Lists in a way that impacted Independents more than candidates of other two big parties. Fortunately, Arizona citizens were so outraged they put H.B. 2305 on the ballot so it could

be repealed. Goddard’s opponent, then in the Arizona Senate, quickly got her own measure repealed, rather than face the voters.

Reckless, extremist politics are damaging Arizona. Laurie Roberts, a columnist for the Arizona Republic, wrote, “When the last ballot is counted, the story of the 2014 election – the one that has the power to fundamentally change Arizona – won’t be the identity of the new governor. It will have nothing to do with an embattled attorney general or an embarrassed state school superintendent. The story of this election will be the rise of dark money and the awakening of independent voters.”

As Secretary of State, Terry Goddard will work to stop the infl uence of dark money and increase the infl uence of independent voters – the two issues can reshape our state.

ISSUES&IMPACTS: ELECTION 2014Your Vote Under Siege The one-two punch of ‘dark money’ plus a deliberate effort to suppress voter turnout is taking a toll on Arizona. Extremist political groups are targeting more and more Arizonan citizens who have a right to be heard. Latinos. Native Americans. Independents. Voters under thirty and the elderly. Their voices are being shut down because their vote is being suppressed. As a result, the state is seeing more and more extremist candidates, and fewer moderate candidates who can represent most Arizonans. We don’t have to wait a generation to change the quality of candidates we elect in this state. Terry Goddard knows the solution exists. We must open up the voting process, encourage eligible citizens to register, and make it easier for them to vote. As Secretary of State, Terry Goddard will defend the rights of all Arizonans.

It’s All AboutFAIRNESS

Your vote must count – whether you are an R, D, I or any third party. Voters can count on Terry to treat Republicans, Indepen-dents and Democrats – and all vot-ers – exactly the same. He has iden-tifi ed and has committed to making the simple changes to our election system that will make it fair for all voters. As Arizona’s chief elections offi cial, Goddard will make sure that every citizen’s vote is counted so every citizens’ voice is heard. Terry Goddard will run the offi ce of the Secretary of State with-out favoritism or cronyism or politi-cal bias. He will fi ght to protect all Arizonans’ right to vote.

ON THE ISSUESMichele

ReaganTerryGoddard

Terry Goddard is running for Secretary of State to bring his many years of experience in public service to this important

statewide offi ce. Terry carries a unique heritage of public service. His father, Sam Goddard, served as Governor of Arizona from 1965-1967, and his Great-grandfather, Ozias M. Hatch, was Secretary of State for Illinois from 1857 to 1865. Terry has been elected to serve both as Arizona’s Attorney General and as Mayor of Phoenix. Additionally, he’s been a federal housing offi cial, and serves on the board of the Central Arizona Project (CAP). Terry served as Arizona Attorney General in 2002 and was reelected in 2006. During his eight years in offi ce, he won national attention for protecting consumers and fi ghting transnational organized crime. He made signifi cant progress in attacking drug cartel money launderers and seized approximately $20 million in illicit funds. He fought against predatory pay day lenders and launched aggressive litigation to protect

Arizonans. Goddard negotiated an historic $94 million settlement with Western Union in 2010 and that same year received the Kelly-Wyman Award, the highest recognition given by his fellow Attorneys General, in recognition for his excellent work fi ghting border crime and consumer fraud. Terry was elected Mayor of Phoenix four times, leading the city from 1983 to 1990. Under his administration, the city greatly increased citizen participation in government, expanded and modernized law enforcement, revitalized downtown, and set up nationally recognized programs in economic development, the arts and historic preservation. He put together the Phoenix Futures Forum, an innovative, public, goal-setting effort that engaged almost 10,000 citizens in planning the future of their city. Terry was named “Municipal Leader of the Year” by City and County Magazine, and was elected President of the National League of Cities in 1988. Phoenix was recognized as an All

American City during his tenure. Terry was elected to the Board of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District in 2000, stepping down when he became AG in 2003. He was elected to another term on the CAWCD Board in 2012, representing Maricopa County. From 1995 to 2002, Terry was the Arizona Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Currently, Terry Goddard is Senior Counsel with the Dentons international law fi rm. In 2012, he was selected a Wasserstein Fellow at Harvard Law School. Terry has written and spoken extensively about law enforcement issues involving the Southwest border as a Senior Fellow at the American Immigration Council and a Distinguished Associate at the Morrison Institute of Public Affairs. Terry, his wife Monica and their teenage son Kevin live in downtown Phoenix.

(continued from A1) voting is the paint we use. Unfortunately, far too many voters have lost confi dence in our election system and stopped participating. We need to rebuild confi dence and get voters re-engaged.Why are you qualifi ed to be Secretary of State? One of the major reasons I decided to run for this offi ce is to try to stop the infl uence of “dark money.” Dark money groups are money launderers in another form. They are moving vast sums of money while carefully concealing its original source. Clearly, dark money does damage to our democracy because one important way we evaluate candidates is by considering who supports them. When we don’t know, we can’t make fully informed decisions.I served as Attorney General for the State of Arizona for eight years, and went after drug cartels by following the money. Our team dug through cartel money transfers. We seized millions of dollars of their cash. I know how to go after laundered money and I’ll use this experience to go after dark money. By hiding

major contributors, dark money groups are engaged in a highly deceptive practice. Again, the problem is that voters can’t evaluate candidates accurately if they don’t know who is contributing huge sums of money to his or her campaign or who is funding the attack ads going up against his or her opponent.It’s sad, but Arizona allows politically active groups to shield their donor lists from the public. I believe that the people have a right to know who is trying to infl uence their elections. So the real and present danger of “dark money” was the impetus for you to jump into this political campaign? Dark money was a big reason. The other is voter suppression. We’re seeing an assault on voter rights that is making people give up and lose confi dence in our voting system. One example of this is the dual-ballot voting system that Attorney General Tom Horne and Secretary of State Ken Bennett imposed on us this year. Voters who registered with federal forms can only vote in federal elections. Those who registered with state forms and showed proof of citizenship can vote in federal, state and local elections.

There is no valid excuse for putting additional hurdles in the path to the polls for any legally eligible Arizona citizen. This dual-ballot system is an extra obstacle voters don’t need. This is especially true for out of state students who are citizens but do not have all the required paperwork. This two ballot requirement takes away their rights. Is it possible for this offi ce to be non-partisan? Yes! It can and it must. The Secretary of State’s offi ce must no longer be used for partisan ends. This offi ce should not be used to support any partisan candidate or to promote any partisan agenda.

How does our present election system stack up? That depends who you’re stacking it up against! But, honestly, our system must be both accessible and secure. It needs to be fair, effi cient and secure, where all qualifi ed citizens can register and vote easily and non-citizens cannot. Our present system is cumbersome and bureaucratic. We need to bring voting into the 21st Century.

A Conversation withTerry Goddard

Meet Terry Goddard

“I am Jack Harris, former police chief of the City of Phoenix and I support Terry Goddard for Secretary of State. When Terry was Attorney General we fought the cartel money launderers using data analysis to track them down and to seize all their assets I know Terry will use that law enforcement experience to go after dark money and drive it out of Arizona.”

A Tradition of Service

to Country, Community

& Family

Terry learned early about the importance of family, education and public service from his parents, Sam and Judy Goddard. Sam served as the 12th Governor of Arizona. Both parents loved this state and instilled in Terry a sense of personal responsibility toward Arizona. As Secretary of State, Terry will work to protect Arizona from the onslaught of anonymous dollars that are trying to infl uence citizens’ votes.

CommunityIn this 1987 photo, Terry Goddard stands

with the crew of the USS Phoenix. After

graduating from college, Terry served an active tour of duty in the Navy and then

in the Naval Reserves. Terry will bring that same sense of duty

and honor to the offi ce of Secretary of

State.

Terry’s accomplishments as Mayor of Phoenix attracted national attention. In 1988 he was elected President of the National League of Cities, a prestigious organization representing America’s cities, towns, and villages. His long and strong commitment to community is one of the reasons that Terry is running for the offi ce of Secretary of State.

Monica and Kevin celebrate with Terry as he is sworn in as Attorney General for Arizona. The swearing in took place in Tucson, which is Terry’s home town. Terry ran on a platform to focus on cyber crime, consumer protection, predatory lending and deceptive advertising. As Secretary of State, he will apply his skills and experience to fi ght for voters’ rights and to stop dark money.

A special time for Terry growing up was any time with his grandfather. Here the two are strolling in downtown Tucson around 1955. As Terry recalled, “my grandfather always wore a hat and a suit when out in public. I clearly am not as formal. This looks like we’re on Broadway.”

TERRY GODDARD: A Lifetime of Service

In 1982, Terry led the successful push to elect members of the Phoenix City Council from districts, rather than in citywide elections. This change allowed minorities to have better representation. During the next election, both a Latino and African American were elected to the council. Two years later, as illustrated in this photo, Terry was sworn in as Mayor of Phoenix and was reelected three times to that offi ce. Among many achievements, he was credited with passing the largest bond issue in the Nation, building SR-51 and the major expansion of the city library system. As Secretary of State, Terry will work to make certain that no voters are discriminated against and that every vote is counted.

As AG, Terry led successful fi ghts against the teen use of methamphetamine and payday lenders. He also battled the drug cartels and scored some big wins. As Secretary of State, he will continue to fi ght for Arizona and for the rights of all its citizens.

Terry’s second swearing in for his second term as Attorney General for Arizona was held in front of the old State Capitol. Here former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor administers the oath to Terry.

Terry says, “A Sunday morning tradition in our family is for me to walk with Kevin to the local coffee shop for breakfast. What started when he was a toddler to give Monica some time to sleep in, has evolved into challenging chess games and, recently, political discussions. Kevin is one important reason why I decided to return to public service. I want his Arizona to be one to be proud of; a place of tolerance, fairness and opportunity. I hope you join us on our journey.”

Page A6 The Roadrunner Gazette, Election Edition

As a lifelong Arizonan, I’ve seen the state I love go through ups and downs, booms and busts. I’ve seen scandals and impeachments in our highest offi ces. But what we are seeing now is new and terrifying. This year, the torrent of anonymous corporate money in politics is drowning out citizen voices. Dark money, the fl ood of cash from sources too cowardly to step out of the shadows, is polluting Arizona politics. Let’s be clear. The race for Secretary of State boils down to one critical issue: Stopping dark money. Big corporations have a right to be heard – not a right to control. I am running for Secretary of State to make sure the voters

and not just the corporate lobbyists get heard. I’m running for Secretary of State because that’s the offi ce responsible for campaign contribution disclosures. That’s where transparency must begin. After months of traveling across our state, I can tell you voters are angry that dark money is trying to buy their vote. The fi ght to expose who is behind the curtain of deceit requires determination and experience. The next Secretary of State must come to the job battle tested. The dark money forces are the most experienced and best fi nanced operators in politics today. Finding them and exposing them will take all my experience from 8 years as Attorney General prosecuting the cartel money launderers. Nothing less will do. My opponent is not prepared to take on dark money. After 12 years in the Legislature, she failed in her one attempt to improve disclosures. Not surprising, her contributor list is a who’s who of corporate lobbyists.

Taking on dark money means taking a stand, making a fi rm commitment against powerful interests. You might disagree with me on an issue, but my position is always clear, carved in stone. With my opponent, whatever you believe, chances are at some point she agreed with you! She was for a woman’s right to choose until she was against it. She voted for the ‘right to discriminate’ bill and then praised Governor Brewer for vetoing. She authored the most serious attack on voter rights in decades, but quickly got it repealed when she realized how unpopular it was. In this crisis, we need a rock, not a weathervane. The other important challenge for the Secretary of State is to reengage the thousands of Arizonans who have gone to the sidelines. They think their votes don’t matter and, especially in the case of Independents, that the system has made voting much more diffi cult. That’s not fair. It’s not democratic and it must be fi xed.

The next Secretary of State must be absolutely impartial. There must be no outside infl uences, lobbyist or partisan. That’s how I ran the AG’s offi ce and that’s how I will act as your Secretary of State. If we are to reengage the thousands of disillusioned voters, the offi ce must stop being used for political stunts. No more Hawaiian junkets to check the President’s birth certifi cate! Voters must know for certain that whether there is an I, a D or an R after your name, you will receive exactly the same treatment. I am running for Secretary of State because I could not bear to watch our state driven even further into the ground. The cure for the ills of Arizona, I am convinced, is getting more of our fellow citizens out to vote. That’s the job of the next Secretary of State. I call on Arizonans of good will, of every political persuasion, to join me in this fi ght.

My Turn: Why I’m Running for Offi ce

TERRYGODDARDSecretary of State Candidate

TERRY GODDARD IS RIGHT FOR INDEPENDENTS

Terry Goddard as Secretary of State is certainly the right guy to empower Independents . I n d e p e n d e n t s today are d i s c r imina t ed against in a wide variety

of different ways. If they run for offi ce, they have to get 5 to 8 times as many signatures. If they run for offi ce, they can’t get the voter registration list. They don’t have the same access to the system. If they go to vote, they’re not mailed out early ballots automatically. That is creating an environment where what is the largest bloc of voters are being ostracized from the two primaries. They are not being included in the Democrat primary or the Republican primary. That is leaving a more extreme ideological voter to control those primaries and they are tending to elect people who are ideologically more extreme. The only way that we’re going to get back to the “E pluribus unum” concept – “out of the many, one,” is by getting people engaged in the process. This starts with making sure that people can vote. Today the largest voter suppression effort that could ever

have been imagined is taking place as they are suppressing Independent voters. Terry Goddard’s made a career of putting people back into the system, of bringing voters back into the system. His stance on Independent voters is the most progressive that I’ve seen as an Independent voter. When I think of Terry Goddard, I think of a very bright individual whose mind is able to transcend partisan politics and to think about practical solutions that are needed to make this State better. People are tired of this Blue team versus the Red team mentality. They are looking for the types of leaders who will pull us together, that set aside party differences. Terry Goddard as Secretary of State will represent those people whose only lobbyist they can afford is the one they elect.

-Paul Johnson

INTEGRITY MATTERSWhen I think of Terry Goddard the fi rst word that comes to mind readily is “integrity.” Our election process and the right to vote, which

is something that the secretary of state’s offi ce oversees, is obviously one of our most cherished rights.

I know that Terry Goddard will bring that integrity to that process to make sure that everyone’s vote is counted and that everyone has the opportunity to vote. I support Terry because he stands up for women’s rights, equal opportunity and the right to choose. We need the moderate leadership Terry Goddard can bring back to Arizona. It’s time to take politics out of the Secretary of State’s offi ce and bring back integrity.

- Nicole Stanton

TERRY IS THE OBVIOUS CHOICE BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERIENCE

I am Marna M c L e n d o n , a registered R e p u b l i c a n , and I support Terry Goddard as Secretary of State for Arizona. I do this because I

worked directly with Terry Goddard at the Attorney General’s Offi ce. Twelve years ago when I moved from Maryland to Arizona, I joined him and worked directly with him on a number of law enforcement efforts. I found him totally non partisan and his approach to running the offi ce and law enforcement efforts was direct and sound. Terry is the obvious choice because of his experience and commitment to law enforcement issues.

- Marna McLendon

GODDARD IS THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR WOMEN VOTERS

There are politicians and there are public servants. Terry Goddard is a public servant. He is in this race to serve the people of Arizona. Women are

51% of the population and typically 54% of voters. There are candidates who pander to get the women’s vote but then vote against the very policies that would help women. And there are candidates who have a solid track record of creating and supporting policies that give women a fair and equal opportunity in society. Terry Goddard has always been there on the front lines to make sure women have economic opportunities, access to reproductive health and rights, and a fair chance to take on leadership roles for which they are qualifi ed. For these reasons and more, I support Terry Goddard for Secretary of State--a position best fi lled by a public servant who will serve all the men and women of Arizona, not just the privileged few.

The Roadrunner Gazette, Election Edition Page A7

Q: You’ve made “dark money” a major focus of your campaign. What does this have to do with the offi ce of the Secretary of State?TG: “Dark money” is money from groups who refuse to disclose their contributors - but want to infl uence your vote. It has everything to do with the offi ce of the Secretary of State. Think of it this way. The Secretary of State’s offi ce is “Vote Central”. It exists to make sure our elections are fair, open and accessible, so that everyone who is legally eligible can vote. “Dark money” threatens the heart of this process.

Q: Aren’t anonymous political contributions common?TG: What we’re seeing today is an unprecedented fl ood of anonymous cash that is swamping our elections. It’s a tsunami that is dragging us down with negative ads, many don’t pass the truth test.

Q: So how did we get in this mess? I thought there are rules that you have to report sources of funding. How can all this money be coming from unnamed sources?TG: You need to understand that most of the “dark money” coming into politics is coming from outside groups who are not required to report their contributors - over fi ve million dollars in this past primary election.

This huge boom in “dark money” came after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2010 on the Citizens United v Federal Election Commission. Basically, that decision said the

federal government cannot stop corporations from spending money on elections. This led to a huge increase in political cash and here we are.

Q: Where is our state in this? TG: We’re becoming the Cayman Islands for moving dark money. We’re the hot place because Arizona has refused to place any donor disclosure requirements on “dark money” groups. That’s why I intend to go after “dark money” and bring the contributors to light.

Q: Let’s talk a bit about how “dark money” infl uences voters. If I can paraphrase what you said, “dark money” funds lies.TG. That’s right. Think about it. You’ve now got a license to say anything about anyone or anything and not have to confess that it’s you talking. When no one is accountable, facts don’t matter. What we’ve seen is that these groups will – and do – say anything. How are voters supposed to know what’s fact and what are lies? And what’s to stop a foreign government from trying to infl uence our elections through massive contributions to dark money groups?

Q: What can we do to fi ght this?TG: Help me go after “dark money” in the same way I went after money laundering when I was AG and fi ghting the drug cartels. We do this with careful research and dogged determination. Good law enforcement procedures can uncover the names of the original contributors to many dark groups, even without

an enabling statute. The Secretary of State can publish thenames of groups that continue to conceal the original source of their funds with the names of the candidates they are bankrolling. Getting these names out into the light will go a long way toward making them less effective.

We desperately need an anti-dark money law in this state. We need to require all dark money groups involved in political action to show us their donors – just as every other political contributor has to do. We need transparency and we need it now!So far, the Legislature has done nothing to stop dark money. I will give them one more chance to pass a tough disclosure law. If they fail, I will lead a citizens initiative.

Fighting “dark money” isn’t a Republican or a Democrat issue. It’s equally bad for everybody because “dark money” leaves voters in the dark.

Terry Goddard Speaks Out on Why Dark Money Leaves Voters In the Dark

We’re becoming the Cayman Islands for moving dark money...

Help me go after “dark money” in the same way I went after money laundering when I was AG and fi ghting the drug cartels.”

“

Goddard Opponent Clueless About Election Law Terry Goddard’s opponent for Secretary of State, who is Chair of the Senate Elections Committee, claimed recently that Independents are not on the Permanent Early Voter List. She also attempted to suppress Independents by supporting HB2305. She tweeted: “Impossible! IND’s can’t be purged from PEVL because they aren’t even on it!” In fact, more than 600,000 registered Independents are on the Permanent Early Voter List, according to the County Recorder offi ces – a group she works with as head of Senate Elections Committee. Said Goddard, “My opponent wants to administer all our state’s elections, but appears to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how our elections work. She sided with efforts to purge Independents and Libertarians from our elections, and voted to discriminate against the gay community. Secretaries of State are supposed to be non-partisan and fair in their decisions. My opponent has shown her priorities are anything but.”
