Stormy Daniels recruited to run against Arizona governor and legislature

(RLGR Editor’s note:Jeremy Duda, an alert Arizona Capitol Times reporter noted the following after this story came out: “Calm down, everyone, Stormy Daniels is not going to run for office in Arizona, and a political committee filed by a third party doesn’t really count as an attempt to recruit her. Also, Stormy Daniels doesn’t actually meet the qualifications for the offices she’s being ‘recruited’ for. You have to have lived in AZ for three years to serve in the Legislature, and there’s no gubernatorial race in 2020.”)
A Phoenix activist is recruiting adult film star and Trump foe Stormy Daniels to run against conservative state legislator Kelly Townsend and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.
On Monday, Lennie Clark — a well-known local gadfly — filed paperwork with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office to form two political action committees: “Stormy Daniels To Replace Kelly Townsend Committee” and “Stormy Daniels For Az Governor 2020.”
Ducey is up for re-election this year, not 2020, but a typo is hardly the wildest thing about the campaign to draft Stormy Daniels.
Clark said he was motivated to reach out to Daniels after seeing her take on Trump in court and in the media.
“She’s of a high ethical and moral fiber, and she’s exactly the type of person that I would hope Mesa citizens in Ms. Townsend’s district would consider,” Clark told Phoenix New Times.
