From AZCapitolTimes:

Attorney General Terry Goddard on March 12 submitted the signatures and $5 contributions needed to qualify as a Clean Elections candidate for the 2010 governor’s race.

Goddard, the lone Democratic candidate in the race, submitted about 8,500 petition signatures and more than 5,300 contributions of $5, according to his campaign. Once the Citizens Clean Elections Commission reviews and approves the submissions, Goddard will receive about $700,000 for his campaign.

The attorney general on March 11 announced that his filing at the Secretary of State’s Office would be part of a campaign event, but he called off the event and campaign staff filed the petitions and contributions the following afternoon. Campaign manager Rodd McLeod said the campaign held off on the event while it pored over paperwork to make sure everything was in order.
