Statement from Shortsleeve Campaign on Brensley Not Making the Ballot

Following the news that Anne Brensley will not appear on the ballot due to failing to acquire the necessary signatures, the Shortsleeve campaign released the following statement:

“This outcome proves two things: that Mike Minogue’s first major decision as a gubernatorial candidate is a complete failure, and that the Republican state convention is a poor judge of candidate quality and electability. Anne Brensley’s disqualification reinforces the importance of the primary to vet all the candidates.” Pat Nestor, Communications Director, Shortsleeve Campaign
