There were Libertarians in most state legislative races, but I won't
list them because there are too many to type in before I have to go
to my office and because the best any of them did was about 20% in a
two-way race.  Most received 4% or less.  The best any LP candidate
in the state did was David Kuck for State Mine Inspector, who received
24% in a two-way race against the incumbent Republican.

President
Bill Clinton  519,873   36.6%
George Bush   544,345   38.3%
Ross Perot    339,662   23.9%
Andre Marrou    6,510    0.5%
"Bo" Gritz      7,906    0.6%
Lenora Fulani     864    0.1%
John Hagelin    2,194    0.2%

Well, at least we passed term limits and a 2/3 requirement for the
legislature to raise taxes.

One Libertarian candidate in a state legislative race, Gary Fallon in
District 24 (House), received the endorsement of The Arizona Republic.
One Green candidate, Carolyn Campbell in District 11 (House) received
the endorsements of the Arizona Daily Star and the Tucson Citizen.
These endorsements don't appear to have helped at all.  (The Republic
is the largest paper in the state, based in Phoenix, and is conservative.
The Star is the second largest, based in Tucson, and is liberal.  The
Citizen is also based in Tucson and usually has conservative leanings.)

District 11 House
Jorge Garcia (D)    14,242  31%
Elaine Richardson (D)  16,365  35%
Mike Price (R)       9,305  20%
Arthur Miscione (L)  1,358   3%
Carolyn Campbell (G) 5,268  11%

District 24 House
Ernie Baird (R)     23,610  33%
Sue Grace (R)       30,590  43%
Lee Crosby (L)       8,595  12%
Gary Fallon (L)      8,993  13%

None of the Dist. 11 candidates were incumbents; the two Republicans in
the Dist. 24 race were both incumbents.  The Republic endorsed Baird
and Fallon; Grace was indirectly involved in the "AzScam" sting operation but
was not charged with anything.  I've been told that at the last minute
the Republicans mailed a hit piece against the Libertarians in that district,
claiming things such as that they favored giving drugs to children, but I've
seen nothing in the news media to confirm it.  (The only person I know who
lives in that district didn't see such a hit piece.)
