Skillicorn is wrong for office at any level

Allen Skillicorn's game plan is now revealed. It's been obvious for some time that his goal, as best I can tell, is to recreate the position he held in the Illinois state legislature until he was ousted by voters and promptly left in a huff.

His only apparent reason to come here was to try again with a more gullible electorate, and he succeeded. He has tried to gain visibility and name recognition as a future candidate for higher office with ridiculous non-campaign signs posted in Scottsdale last year, taking advantage of its liberal policy on signage even though he was not on any ballot.

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes recently sent a missive which addressed the plan of awful state House representative Alexander Kolodin to oppose him for reelection next year. So, here's the deal, to quote former president Joe Biden. Arizona has a resign-to-run law. Kolodin cannot run for his present office and also for SoS. Furthermore, unless he waits to announce for SoS until the end of this year in order to remain in office until the 2026 election, he must resign at once if he announces before then.
