She remains passionate about education issues, which prompted her to get into state politics back in the 1980s: "I still believe that every parent wants good, high standards for their kids and I will continue to pursue that."---<a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/education/329825-lets-see-whos-serious-about-improving-schools">http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/education/329825-lets-see-whos-serious-about-improving-schools</a><a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/291786-brewer-clinton-a-lying-killer">http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/291786-brewer-clinton-a-lying-killer</a>Fo<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(43, 44, 48); font-family: " graphik="Graphik" web="Web" helvetica="Helvetica" arial="Arial" sans-serif="sans-serif" font-size="font-size" px="px">rmer Arizona Gov.

But 2,000 miles from Washington, in the southwestern American desert, we should have seen an early warning.
In Arizona, there was a sign that Republican voters could be drawn to a candidate who combines anger and flexibility, who is a hard-liner on immigration and a moderate on government spending.
Remember Jan Brewer, governor of Arizona from 2009 to 2015? If you don’t live in Arizona, you probably know her for two things: signing Senate Bill 1070, the controversial immigration enforcement law that was partly struck down by the Supreme Court, and wagging her finger at President Obama on an airport tarmac.
You might not know that while Ms. Brewer outraged the left, she also angered the conservative establishment by breaking with small-government orthodoxy. The same Governor Brewer who wanted immigrants to show their papers to any police officer with “reasonable suspicion” also sought a temporary sales tax increase to close a budget gap and for Arizona to accept the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. She won both fights over loud objections from the right.Long before Mr. Trump began his campaign, Ms. Brewer seemed to understand that Republican voters and conservative elites don’t necessarily care about the same issues. A Republican candidate can thrive while taking an unorthodox approach on taxes and spending if he or she also addresses Republican voters’ outrage over unauthorized immigration and their dislike for President Obama.Jan Brewer making a point to President Obama after he arrived for a visit to Arizona in 2012. Credit Haraz N. Ghanbari/Associated Press“Voters want somebody that can solve the problems and can do it effectively and do it right,” she said in a recent interview. “They just don’t want somebody that says ‘no, no, no.’ ”
National Review, the conservative magazine that devoted an issue last month to anti-Trump arguments, attacked Ms. Brewer in 2013 as “exemplifying that unfortunately common strain of Republican leadership that is uncompromising in rhetoric but opportunistic in reality.” It’s a sentence that could easily have been written about Mr. Trump.
They were writing about Ms. Brewer’s choice to urge her state’s legislature to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. At the time, other Republican governors were turning down the federally funded benefit on their residents’ behalf, thinking that refusals would undermine the health law. That approach did not strike Ms. Brewer as pragmatic.
“Although I didn’t support Obamacare, I support taking care of the poor,” she said. “I was able to bring those millions of dollars into the state. If we didn’t take them, they would go to someplace else.”
There’s something very Trumpian about this approach: You argue your side, sometimes acrimoniously, but you don’t turn down a good deal, even with your sworn opponent.
So she twisted arms — hard — to get the expansion through a resistant, Republican-controlled legislature. She declared that she would veto any budget that did not expand Medicaid, then threatened that she would veto all bills the legislature sent her until it expanded Medicaid. She followed through on the threat, and eventually enough Republicans acquiesced.
Political News, Now.Before the Medicaid issue, Ms. Brewer alienated national Republicans by seeking a sales tax increase. In 2010, the anti-tax activist Grover Norquist called Ms. Brewer a “lousy governor” who used immigration politics as part of a “clever strategy to get people to focus on something other than her billion-dollar tax increase.” Again, it was a preview of establishment complaints about Mr. Trump, who combines a hard-line position on immigration with moderate stances on several economic issues.
Ms. Brewer defended her fiscal choices, and noted that voters had sided with her. “I never thought in my worst nightmare I’d go out and ask people to vote for a tax increase, but I knew I had to be pragmatic,” she said. Voters passed it in 2010 with 64 percent of the vote, over the objections of conservatives, including Senator John McCain and Jon Kyl, then Arizona’s other senator.
Ms. Brewer’s tax apostasy fueled support for a primary challenge from the state treasurer, who was competitive with her in early polls. But the fight over the immigration law consolidated Governor Brewer’s support among conservative voters and he ended his campaign; she was easily renominated and re-elected....

Brewer has claimed that immigration is fueling crime in the state. She claimed that Phoenix is becoming the world's number-two kidnapping capital, that decapitated bodies are being, that illegal immigrants are responsible for most police killings, and the majority of people crossing the border into the U.S. are drug mules. Brewer has also said 87 percent of people crossing the border illegally have prior criminal records. But Brewer's statements have no basis in fact. Federal immigration authorities were unable to confirm her 87 percent statistic about criminal records, and her administration couldn't provide a reference for the number.

hodad: One such piece of ALEC “model legislation” was the ALEC “No Sanctuary Cities for Illegal Immigrants Act,” which was based on Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce’s controversial immigration enforcement bill, SB 1070. Pearce had been a longstanding member of the ALEC Public Safety and Elections Task Force (which ALEC claims to have disbanded in April of 2012, following public outcry and loss of corporate sponsorship due to reporting on the task force’s role in disseminating “Stand Your Ground” and “Voter ID” model legislation) when, during the December, 2009 ALEC States and Nation Policy Summit, he introduced an early draft of what would become SB 1070 for adoption as a piece of ALEC “model legislation.” Interestingly, the nation’s largest for-profit prison/immigrant detention center operator, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), was a member of the Public Safety and Elections Task Force at the time the task force voted to adopt the Pearce “model legislation.”

Records obtained by DBA/CMD, as well as Arizona lobby records, also show that the nation’s second and third largest for-profit prison/immigrant detention center operators-- Geo Group and Management and Training Corporation (MTC), respectively-- were also active in Arizona ALEC operations at this time.

It is not clear what, if any, input CCA (or other private immigrant detention center operators) had in the formation of the “No Sanctuary Cities for Illegal Immigrants Act”/SB 1070 (as the bill would be titled at the time of its introduction in the Arizona Legislature in January, 2010), but this much is clear: thanks to the financial support of these corporations, the ALEC Public Safety and Elections Task Force was successful in promoting this “model legislation” for introduction in several states throughout the nation during 2010-2011. And, as the bill would essentially mandate that all law enforcement personnel-- municipal, county and state police-- assume the responsibilities of immigration enforcement officers, this legislation would likely result in a substantial increase in the arrests and detention of illegal immigrants. The detention of undocumented immigrants has largely been farmed out by federal agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), to private contractors, such as CCA, Geo Group and MTC-- all of whom generate revenue exclusively through per diem, per prisoner rates paid out by such public sector clients for the detention of immigrants and other prisoners.

Furthermore, as reported by DBA/CMD (“Brownskins and Greenbacks”, a truncated version of which was initially published by Hodai with In These Times, June, 2010) private prison/immigrant detention center contractors-- especially CCA-- had established deep ties within the office of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Most notably, at the time of Brewer’s signing of SB 1070 into law in April of 2010, the governor’s Director of Communications was Paul Senseman, who had worked as a longtime CCA lobbyist, from 2005 until the time of his appointment by Brewer in January of 2009. Additionally, Senseman’s wife, Kathryn Senseman remained a CCA lobbyist during her husband’s employment at the Governor’s office.

Perhaps the most notable tie between the Brewer administration and CCA was Brewer’s longtime campaign manager and advisor, Chuck Coughlin. Coughlin is founder and president of HighGround Public Affairs Consultants, a lobby firm that had been hired by CCA in January of 2010, shortly following the introduction of SB 1070 in the Arizona Legislature [Note: CCA discontinued this partnership with HighGround in July of 2012]. According to records obtained by DBA/CMD, HighGround also has a substantial history of involvement in ALEC.

[Note: in September, 2011, a CCA spokesman told Bob Ortega of the Arizona Republic that the corporation had left ALEC at an undisclosed time in 2010. Records obtained by DBA/CMD indicate that CCA likely remained active in ALEC through December of 2010.]

Given this history, activists in Arizona-- including members of Occupy Phoenix, immigrants’ rights groups, indigenous rights groups, faith-based groups, anarchists and other concerned citizens-- met ALEC with protests held outside the gates of the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa (located on the border of Phoenix and Scottsdale), the site of ALEC’s 2011 States and Nation Policy Summit (SNPS), held ..through December 2, 2011.

The largest of these protests was held on the morning of the first full day of the SNPS, November 30, outside the Westin Kierland’s east gate. Protestors, numbering in the hundreds, marched to the gate as ALEC member lawmakers, lobbyists, corporate executives, and right-wing ‘think tank’ luminaries were ushered into the resort through security check points. Arizona Governor Brewer was to be the keynote speaker at the day’s ALEC luncheon, held in one...hodad

8. Jan Brewer, Arizona

Jan Brewer made her name attacking immigrants, but she's got plenty of other moves under her belt. In recent months, she cheerfully signed a bill cutting off funding to <a href="http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/926373/arizona%27s_jan_brewer_bans_funding_to_planned_parenthood/">Planned Parenthood</a>, and topped that off with possibly the <a href="http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/880920/jan_brewer_signs_">worst anti-abortion bill</a> in the country. Opponents call it the “Life Begins at Menstruation” bill because it bans abortions after 20 weeks, but claims that those 20 weeks start at the woman's last menstrual period.

Brewer also joined the club of GOP governors who like <a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/153996/6_things_you_should_know_about_arizona%27s_worse-than-wisconsin%27s_attack_on_public_workers?page=2">kicking around public employees</a>. She moved to offer public workers their first raise in years—but only if they agreed to trade in all their job security and let her fire them on a whim. She also <a href="http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/local/education/article_c3cb6208-9fb5-11e1-9954-001a4bcf887a.html">signed a bill</a> expanding school vouchers for Arizona students, giving public funds to parents to pay for private schools.

In a bit of good news, a judge did reject Brewer's bid to dismiss legal challenges to the state's <a href="http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2012/05/30/jan-brewer-loses-bid-to-dismiss-arizona-immigration-law-sb1070-case/">infamous anti-immigrant law</a>.

Oh, and she wants a <a href="http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2012/05/jan_brewer_threatens_again_to.php">third term</a>.

<a href="http://archive.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20131023arizona-groups-pay-not-disclosing-campaign-fund-sources.html"> http://archive.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20131023arizona-groups-pay-not-disclosing-campaign-fund-sources.html</a>...Asked Wednesday what future role she thinks dark money will play in Arizona politics, Gov. Jan Brewer said she had never heard the term before.“I’ve always felt that full disclosure was the right way to go,” Brewer said after an event at a local hospital. “I would always be honored to put my money up for someone to say that I supported them. I think that that kind of transparency is good.”...

law enforcement personnel.

The private prison industry now needed a new source of low-cost licensed law enforcement personnel. CCA and GEO then turned to state governments as the focus of business expansion. Both companies stepped up efforts to acquire contracts with state and local governments that were entering into lucrative agreements with the Department of Homeland Security to detain immigrants in state and local detention and correctional facilities.

The result of this shift in business focus is exemplified by CCA’s role in Arizona’s SB 1070 and both CCA’s and GEO’s roles in other legislative efforts aimed at dramatically increased numbers arrests of undocumented immigrants in over 20 states. Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer, who received substantial campaign financing from top CCA executives in Tennessee and employs two former CCA lobbyists Chuck Coughlin and Paul Sensman, as top aides, signed SB 1070 into law on April 23.

On Friday, July 30, 2010 the Republican Governors Association, which so far this year has received over $160,000 in contributions from CCA and GEO, and their respective lobbyists, sent out a nationwide solicitation written by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer requesting contributions to fund an appeal of the partial injunction issued by a judge against SB 1070.

In addition to funds raised by the partisan appeal, Brewer’s legal effort has been bolstered by supporting briefs filed with the appeals court by three states– Florida, Texas and Virginia–that have contracts with GEO or with both GEO and CCA. The two prison companies are currently ramping up their political involvement in these states and in several others that have anti-immigrant bills moving through their respective legislatures. In all, twenty states are considering SB 1070-inspired bills, which have been endorsed by their respective Republican gubernatorial candidates, financed in large part by the Republican Governor’s Association.

Last November, CCA’s top management in Tennessee <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kpho.com/news/24834877/detail.html">contributed</a> the largest block of out-of-state campaign contributions received by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.[1] CCA, which already has several detention facilities in Arizona and hopes of expanding its immigrant prison business in that state, is expected to gain a huge increase in revenues with the implementation of SB 1070. Currently, Latinos driving out of the city of Tucson in any direction are being stopped at checkpoints, where they are asked to show their papers.

GEO and CCA are now heavily involved in the governor and state legislative races in states where they plan to expand their respective shares of the prison and incarceration market. GEO, for example, backed first-term Republican Governor, Bob McDonnell, in Virginia last year, and has contributed heavily to the Republican Governor’s Association and to the Florida Republican Party. In addition to Jan Brewer in Arizona, CCA is contributing to the campaigns of both, Republican Meg Whitman, and Democrat Jerry Brown, for governor in California. CCA is also giving money to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, even though Jindal isn’t currently facing an election, and to the Republican Governors Association, which has contributed over $1.5 million to state races this year.[2]
