Arizona's political party for cool people: highly-educated, high-income, sophisticated people who appreciate diversity and care about our less fortunate sisters and brothers.

We've banded together to make Arizona less of a shithole by voting out the backward majority who've made the state a backwater and a bicoastal joke.

Arizona Americans Elect Party Endorses Angel Torres and Haryaksha Gregor Knauer for State Representative


MESA, Ariz., Oct. 30 - Today the Arizona Americans Elect Party announced that it is endorsing Angel Torres and Haryaksha Gregor Knauer for State Representative in Legislative Districts 27 and 26, respectively.  The two candidates are running on the Green Party line, but now they also are candidates of the Americans Elect Party.

"We are delighted to endorse these two qualified candidates for the state legislature," said Richard Grayson, Supreme Leader of the Arizona Americans Elect Party and the party's nominee for U.S. Representative in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District. "Both have been activists in their party, their communities and the state for many years, and they will serve with distinction in a legislature that is currently dominated by insane extremists."

The Arizona Americans Elect Party had previously endorsed two other candidates for the State House of Representatives: Gerard Davis in Legislative District 24 and comedian Bill Maher in Legislative District 16.

Other Green Party candidates running with Americans Elect Party support include Daniel Pout and Thomas Meadows for the Arizona Corporation Commission and Mark Salazar for U.S. Representative in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
