Gov. Jan Brewer filed her paperwork today and will formally announce tonight that she’s running in 2010. So it might not have been the best day for Republican challenger Vernon Parker to post his first video message of the campaign. (Yes, ignore the “exploratory committee” nonsense. Parker definitely is in the race at this point). But as you can see below, the video does a nice job of succinctly telling Parker’s personal story. Since Parker isn’t well-known outside of Paradise Valley (where he’s mayor), this general introduction definitely is needed. Be sure to look for the quick photo of a younger Parker with a mustache and a bola tie. He’s definitely stepped up his professional image as he has matured.
