Architect of SB1070 soundly defeated in Arizona Republican primary
Last year Russell Pearce, the architect of Arizonas SB1070 polarizing immigration law, was the most powerful man in the Arizona State Senate.
What a difference a year makes.
In less than one year, Russell Pearce has gone from being the most powerful politician in the state to being unemployed, said Randy Parraz, whose Citizens for a Better Arizona organization led last years recall election of the former state senate president and played a key role in getting out voters in yesterdays primary election, according to Salon. Not only did Pearce lose the historic recall election, he just lost the Republican primary by double digits. Russell Pearces brand of extreme, divisive and hateful politics is finally over.
Pearce had been on the comeback trail since his recall but his opponent, businessman Bob Worsley, defeated him 56 percent to 44 percent in the GOP primary for the Republican-leaning Arizona State Senate seat.
