An Arizona congressional candidate hopes that if he plies donors with guns, cocktails and cigars, the campaign cash will flow.
Andrew Walter, a Republican candidate in the state’s 9th congressional district, is slated to host an “Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms” fundraiser Friday at the Scottsdale Gun Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. Guests can choose to donate at three levels, from a $1,000 “expert” ticket that buys access to four weapons plus 250 rounds of ammunition to a $250 “marksman” ticket that buys the chance to shoot a Glock 18 with a single box of ammo.
Walter’s campaign manager, Chris Tolino, told USA Today that alcohol and cigars will be provided at a nearby restaurant, not at the range, once the shooting is over. Donor response to the event had been positive so far, Tolino said.
Walter, who is a former NFL and Arizona State University quarterback, has trailed his primary opponent Wendy Rogers in fundraising, according to USA Today.
FYI: Not all of us in Arizona are crazy.

Why do they hate freedom?
Perhaps, but teh crazies do tend to roost there though.
The Arizona Republicans should relabel themselves the ATF Party.
The man is obviously going to corner the Rich Asshole demographic.
