Sometimes It Takes A Gaggle of AZRepub Reporters To Cover Appointments To The Arizona Supreme Court

All Hail to The Chief Highest-Elected Official in The Great State of Arizona: Governor Doug Ducey!! . . . this could have been former Mesa Mayor Scott Smith standing inside The State House if he didn't lose out to the winning candidate who ran a stone-cold campaign coming out on top as the most popular go-getter of public votes cast in-the-contest for power in state and national politics. Ducey is the top-guy to run his political agenda and make appointments to fill open positions.
Circumstances now allow him to fill-up the bench.
Bully-Pulpit or not, and whatever Choir the Governor might be speaking to at any given time, sometimes it takes "The Gaggle" - what a group of Arizona Republic staff reporters call themselves - when we already have excellent individuals like Howie Fischer or a team of other award-winning reporters working with Craig Harris. 
This week on The Gaggle podcast, hosts and national political reporters Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ron Hansen talk to state political reporter Maria Polletta about why Governor Doug Ducey's court picks for The Arizona Supreme Court really matter and how his five choices (or more) affect every Arizona resident.
