The Arizona Independent Party is facing yet another dustup, this time within its own ranks.
The Arizona Independent Party is currently in court over its new name — it was the No Labels Party. Now there appears to be another conflict brewing. This time between the two candidates running to be the Arizona Independent Party nominee for governor.
Party Chairman Paul Johnson has asked Teri Hourihan to get out of the race to provide a clear path to Hugh Lytle who entered the race a week ago. Hourihan said she should be given an equal chance, without party officials seeking to influence the outcome long before the Aug. 4 primary.
Johnson told Capitol Media Services that he did not think Hourihan was not ready to run for state office — even before he recruited Lytle to toss his hat into the ring.
