The Nucleus Club is
pleased to announce
our Speaker for Wednesday, February 17th will be
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.
