Leading Off

● AZ-01: A super PAC called Turn AZ Blue is running TV ads as part of what appears to be an attempt by Republicans to meddle in the July 30 Democratic primary to take on GOP Rep. David Schweikert in Arizona's swingy 1st District, though the operation does not appear to feature an all-star cast.

The Arizona Republic's Laura Gersony reports that the PAC is attacking one of the six Democratic candidates, former TV news anchor Marlene Galán-Woods, as a "political opportunist" who "used to be anti-choice." Galán-Woods, a former Republican who says she's long supported abortion rights, is attempting to get the commercial taken off the air by telling stations it is "riddled with lies and falsehoods."

It's not clear how much the group is spending, in large part because the group does not appear to be in compliance with relevant campaign finance laws. Even though it began running ads in March, Gersony writes that the PAC has yet to register with the FEC.
