Q&A: Jerry Lewis on state Senate race

Name: Jerry Lewis Party: Republican Running for: State Senate, 26th Legislative District Previous Experience: Served as senator for the 18th Legislative District after beating Russell Pearce in 2011’s recall election State Press: What made you decide to run for the State Senate? Jerry Lewis: I had some good friends that encouraged me last year to run against Russell Pearce in the recall and my first response was, "I don't want anything to do with a recall, sorry." So after a lot of consideration my wife and I said, "No thanks." And they said this isn't really actually a recall, he's going to put his name in to be a replacement for Jeff Flake and be running for the state senate seat and the representative's office will open itself up and he probably won't be running for that office.
