Interview conducted by Mike Bryan with Jeff Latas:

Jeff Latas is a Democratic candidate for Congress in Arizona's CD8. What will probably catch people's notice about Jeff is that he is a veteran, as is his son Jesse. Jeff is one of a group of about 40 veterans running for Congress this cycle, the Band of Brothers. But what Jeff would prefer to catch your attention is his bold stands on energy policy and environmental protection and his training as an aerospace engineer. Either way. Jeff is a man of parts, and he wants to be your representative in Congress.

I heard about an event that happened in Tucson on Monday. The Democrats of Greater Tucson meet weekly and recently have had each of the AZ-08 congressional candidates speak. Monday was Lt. Col. Jeff Latas' turn. I was not there but heard the event was pretty unbelievable. The entire restaurant was full. They even ran out of food! Usually the DGT takes only about a third of the restaurant space, but people are starting to take notice of this new wave of progressives and are wanting to be part of it.

We have a great opportunity to elect a true progressive to Congress. Col Jeff Latas has come to our blog site and is asking for our help! He's a regular, but this is the first time he's asking for assistance. Let's give it to him. This is a great opportunity to help. He is asking for 2000 $50 donations. I say let's give him 20,000 $5 donations if you are worried about this investment. HELP HIM OUT, HE IS ASKING, LET'S GIVE TO THIS FIGHTING DEMOCRAT.

He is a regular here on the Kos, let's not let him down. Contribute to his campaign Jeff Latas for Congress

There was another Congressional forum for the Democratic candidates last night in Tucson. Many were in attendance, except the media. The media is doing a horrible job when it comes to informing the public here in Southern Arizona. There is one candidate that has complete control in the debates, and that man is Col Jeff Latas. He is a real energy hawk that is one of the only Dems (and a Fight Dem) who has really articulated the connection of national security and energy. He as been on this message since he started his campaign last summer. He is also a blogger here Col Jeff Latas posts. Read More

The local Tucson paper, the Citizen, rightfully took the first shots at the newest entry to the AZ-8 Congressional race. Patty Weiss, a long time local talking head declared her candidacy in this now crowded field. She brings with her name recognition and that's about it. I've made my choice and have been pretty vocal here on the Kos, to who I will support, Col. Jeff Latas, and I have to agree with C.T. Revere, Patty Weiss is one of the least qualified. Read More

I had to post this based on the poor reporting I have witnessed in South Eastern Arizona. Finally, we have a reporter that has dug deeper then the news releases that the growing field of AZ-8 Congressional candidates often put out with there hyped up dribble and shallow sound bits. Emil Franziis a conservative columnist with a radio show in Tucson. I have to give him much credit on this one, he is speaking the truth and I thought everyone should have the opportunity to hear this. He wrote the following column about Jeff Latas, a retired UASF Lt Col now running for Congress in this now crowded race.

Emil Franzi's Inside Track, 22 December 2005

Jeff Latas for Congress

Lt Col Latas had registered with the FEC prior to Jim Kolbe's retirement announcement. He was getting good numbers, then Kolbe quit. The flood gates opened and now all those who were too worried about a possible lose to Kolbe entered the field. This race is up to its neck in candidates. I think I may be the only AZ resident not running. Read More
