I was lucky enough to spend a semester in class with Ellen at NAU. She was taking a graduate political science class in Spring 2005. I was always impressed with Ellen's studious preparation, and her tenacious ability to argue for her convictions. She struck me at the time as passionately committed to democracy for the people. Make no mistake - Ellen Simon will not be a tool of special interests (like Rick Renzi!), Ellen is a voice for people. Go get em' Ellen! ime for Arizona's 1st district to move forward and be heard! - Christopher Lane, Flagstaff, AZ

Ellen Simon is an unflappable, indefatigable, tireless advocate of the rights of ordinary people. If you have a fight and you need someone to stand in for you. You want Ellen Simon, she is the smartest person in the room. She won't like me saying that but Arizona you need someone really talented and Ellen Simon is as good as it gets. - Reggie Rucker, Cleveland, Ohio

Ellen Simon and I live and vote in the same precinct in the Village of Oak Creek, Arizona. I first met Ellen several years ago at a home holiday gathering here. From our first introduction to my visits with her and her family as a local political campaign volunteer, I have gotten to know her. Her passion for Arizona, unquestionable and uncorrupted beliefs of Arizonan's best interests and our Country's, and her life's work for upholding our Constitution and our Laws are why I am supporting and am going to vote for her. Ellen Simon will represent us and fight for us in Congressional District 1 with the integrity, fairness and results we want from our Representatives. You only have to read about her lifetime mission and work, and meet her to believe what I have written.  - Karen Waltermire, Village of Oak Creek, CD1, Arizona  

Congratulations Arizonan's!! I've known Ellen for years and you can consider her deeply passionate, intelligent and motivated to deliver for you. Like many of us; Ellen's core is her wonderful family. Focus on family and focus on those in need are what define Ellen as an individual, an advocate. And so I invite you to learn more about Ellen Simon for yourself. It's time for Arizona's 1st district to move forward and be heard! - Michael T. Creadon, Cleveland, Ohio
