Throughout his career, Terry Goddard has fought to improve the lives of
Arizonans -- a commitment he continues as the State's top law enforcement
officer. Since first taking the oath as Attorney General in 2003, Terry has
focused on protecting Arizona families: Fighting cyber crime, especially
identity theft and Internet crimes against children. Suing drug manufacturers
and predatory lenders for illegal and unfair business practices. Pursuing
consumer fraud lawsuits, which have returned millions of dollars to Arizona
consumers and forced significant changes in business practices. Leading the
fight against methamphetamine and helping achieve a dramatic reduction in
statewide meth use. Working to reduce crime and taking action against illegal
trafficking in drugs, arms, money and human beings. Working to protect Arizona’s
environment, gaining a record $12 million environmental damage settlement
against a land developer. Going after car dealers and other companies that use
deceptive advertising. Terry's 30-year legal career began when he was hired by
the Arizona Attorney General's Office as a white-collar crime prosecutor.
He was elected Mayor of Phoenix four times, leading the City from 1984 to 1990.
During those years, Phoenix made significant strides in expanding and
modernizing law enforcement and setting up nationally-recognized programs in
economic development, the arts and historic preservation. He was elected
President of the National League of Cities in 1989 and named “Municipal Leader
of the Year” by City and County Magazine. From 1995 to 2002, Terry served as
Arizona Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
In 2000, he was elected to the board of the Central Arizona Water Conservation
District, which manages the Central Arizona Project.
Terry is an Arizona native, born and raised in Tucson. His father, Sam Goddard,
served as Arizona’s Governor in the 1960s. Terry received his law degree from
Arizona State University. He served an active duty tour in the Navy and retired
as a Commander after 27 years in the Naval Reserves. He and his wife Monica have
a young son.

JON
HULBURD
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESSMAN
John Hulburd grew up in the West and
has raised his family of five children in Arizona’s Third Congressional
District. Jon is a businessman and an attorney whose work has taken him from
Capitol Hill to a partnership in an Arizona law firm. Perhaps most
significantly, Jon has spent his adult life working to improve the circumstances
of the people around him, particularly those of children who face
life-threatening illness.
Hulburd earned his Masters in
International Affairs from George Washington University, working at the U.S.
Senate during the daytime and attending university classes at night. His Senate
work ran the gamut of legislative office duties, including everything from
intern to mail clerk to legislative assistant, eventually specializing in the
policy areas of immigration, trade and foreign affairs.
In 1984, Hulburd began law school in
New York City and, the same year, married his college sweetheart, Carrie Louis.
After his early days in the legal trade in New York, Hulburd couldn’t wait to
get back out west. He passed the Arizona Bar, was a clerk for the Federal Court,
then joined the law firm of Fennemore Craig, where he became a partner. Jon
Hulburd brings the fresh perspective that Arizona needs.
His experiences as a small
businessman, attorney and active supporter of local schools and hospitals, and
as a father of five, are precisely the reasons his focus remains on creating
good jobs in Congressional District Three, and passing a stronger America on to
the next generation.

January 2010
In this New Year the nucleus club is pleased to announce our Speaker for
Wednesday, January 20th will be
Christopher
Deschene
Exploratory Candidate for Secretary of State
Chris
Deschene is a proud Arizonan and a member of the Navajo Nation. He currently
serves as State Representative in Arizona’s 2nd Legislative District,
and is
exploring for Secretary of State on a platform of change achieved through
bipartisan efforts, and dedication to the “principle that every election should
be transparent, that the playing field must be level and that every vote will be
counted”
Chris’s
grandfather served as a Navajo Codetalker during World War II. Like many in his
family, he was raised to value hard work, loyalty and service. Although he went
to a high school where expectations were low, Chris was taught by his parents,
that if you work hard and put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. He
earned straight A’s and was accepted to college at Princeton University and to
the military academies at both West Point and Annapolis. He chose to attend
Annapolis because they offered one of the top engineering programs in the
country, and because he wanted the greatest challenge to develop his abilities
and himself. After graduation from the United States Naval Academy, Chris
served 10 years as an infantry and special forces reconnaissance officer in the
U.S. Marine Corps. Completing his service as a decorated officer, Major Deschene
brought his leadership skills home to Arizona and immediately committed to a
rigorous joint degree program at Arizona State University where he earned both a
law degree and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering.
Today, Chris
continues to fight for his community as an engineer, an attorney, and a
community organizer. When he realized how important the political process is in
creating real change, he didn’t hesitate and now serves proudly in the State
House. It’s there that Representative Deschene has had a front row seat to some
of the most devastating economic decisions in Arizona’s history. He believes
strongly that if we are going to get past ideological gridlock and move Arizona
forward again, we have to refocus our priorities.
