CD 5 Voters Saying "NO" to Christine Jones!

Instead of running in Arizona's Ninth Congressional District against Kyrsten Sinema, career-politician Christine Jones took what she believed to be the easy way out and ran in Arizona's Fifth Congressional District to replace retiring-Congressman Matt Salmon. Jones could have done the Arizona Republican Party a major service in taking on Sinema, giving her a run for her money in the General Election and also draining her cash on hand in anticipation of her 2018 U.S. Senate run. Christine Jones, however, has never been a proponent of doing the honorable, principled thing - thus her carpetbagging campaign in Congressional District 5.



Though Christine Jones attempts to convince voters of her ties to the district (she goes to church and her husband has taught school nearby in District 9), she simply has none. This is extremely problematic for her carpetbagging candidacy the more these voters are awakened to the fact that she does not live amongst them.

One such voter in Gilbert, Mike Webb, recently blasted Jones for her extraordinary carpetbagging skills on social media, and the post went viral amongst interested parties inside of the district. Read the post for yourself!

I wonder if some of you realize that Christine Jones who is running for Congress here in CD 5 does not even live in our district. She is claiming to be the "grassroots" candidate when here roots aren't even here in our district where we live. How is it that she can represent us from her home in another district? 
I'd also like to know why members of our town council are supporting and campaigning for someone from outside our district. You can go to her Christine Jones for Congress page and see all kinds of references to Gilbert and other areas in CD 5, along with a thank you to Mayor Lewis for serving, references to residents and events here in Gilbert, she even has the Gilbert water tower as her Facebook header, etc.... But all of it is fake and designed to make it appear that she is one of us and will represent us well. It's all a marketing ploy to get your vote. I haven't seen her mention, on her own, that she doesn't live in our district. I've been in marketing for years now and I know what they're up to. I'm not buying it and I hope you don't either. 
Maybe she decided to run her in our district because she would have lost in her own district. She was looking at a run for congress in her own CD 9 against Kyrsten Sinema but decided against it and said “Although (the 9th District) appears eminently winnable, pursuing a seat in Congress at this time is not the highest and best use of my time.” So to me it really looks like she is just looking for a place to run where she thinks she can win. I don't think it's about representing the people of the district. 
Don't fall for it!
Jones' is attempting to buy this seat from under the noses of voters who have little clue who she is or can comprehend the values that she holds to in her life, proving that she cares more about her future and her power than she does about the voters she claims to want to represent. Like Mike Webb, more Congressional 5 voters are thankfully educating themselves about Christine Jones' background and coming to the conclusion that they would rather someone who lives in their district and who adheres to their values.
