From Eric Dondero:

There's an election for Mayor of Phoenix in August. And one candidate is making it known where she stands, despite the officially non-partisan nature of the race.

From the Arizona Republic "Party politics shows in races":

Jennifer Wright has been touting herself as the "conservative choice" for mayor, plastering the phrase on campaign signs.

She said she labeled herself a conservative to distinguish herself from Republican candidates.

Wright, who has done policy work for Libertarian organizations such as the Goldwater Institute and the Institute for Justice, said it's important to broadcast her views on limited government.

"Knowing what someone's philosophy is lets you know how they're going to govern," said Wright, backed by several tea-party groups. "But I don't believe in partisanship for the sake of partisanship and just voting along party lines. You need to make decisions based on what is best for the city."

She is an attorney, and economist. She is most well-known for having investigated a major voter fraud case in Yuma. Her campaign website.

Interestingly, a McCain-oriented website blasts Wright as "Not a Conservative," but rather a trouble-making former Hayworth for Senate staffer, and leader of the Recall Jan Brewer campaign.
