I WELCOME THE PRESIDENT TO ARIZONA

I’m just returning from the airport where I had the honor of being among a few official greeters for the President of the United States.
President Bush arrived tonight after a long day of campaigning for Republican candidates in California. Despite the long day, he was very gracious as we had a chance to talk briefly about my race at the base of the steps when he exited Air Force One.
Tomorrow morning I will introduce my wife Tracy to the President as we attend a breakfast in support of Congressman Rick Renzi.
Hey, this running for Governor thing can be kind of fun! I told my kids about meeting the President, and they were excited for me, but they were more excited about getting dressed up for Spirit Day during Homecoming week. And really, who can blame them? One of the great things about this President … I think he would understand.
