Democrats May Also See Contested Senate Primary in Arizona

[ccharles000]

Arizona Democrats are sensing a growing opportunity to capitalize on Republican divisions in the state’s 2010 Senate race, but they may also have to contend with a contested primary of their own.

Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth’s (R-Ariz.) challenge to longtime Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is likely to tie up the incumbent’s resources and attention until the Aug. 24 primary, giving Democrats hope that with a strong, well-funded challenger, they could be positioned to create a competitive two-month sprint to the general election for the 2008 GOP presidential nominee.

With that in mind, excitement is growing around the possible candidacy of Nan Stockholm Walden, an attorney and co-owner (with her husband) of a 7,000-acre pecan farm south of Tucson.

David Steele, a spokesman for Walden’s Green Valley Pecan Co., said Walden has been asked to consider a Senate run and is doing just that. Walden expects to make a decision by early April, Steele said.
