Leah Campos Schandlbauer, a mother of four, former operations officer in the Central Intelligence Agency announced her candidacy for the newly-drawn 9th Congressional District, today.
Campos Schandlbauer, a conservative Republican, said she will ground her campaign in an unreserved defense of free markets, limited government and the vision of our founders for a great nation committed to freedom and integrity at home and abroad. “The America and the Arizona in which I grew up are under assault, not only from without, but from within,” she said. “I am responding in the best way that one can in our country — stand up, step out and tell the people the truth.”
To make the race Campos Schandlbauer recently resigned her post at the CIA, after more than a decade in the National Clandestine Service, serving in nations around the world.
