Political signs in disguise hit the Valley

AHWATUKEE, AZ - New campaign signs are popping up across the Valley that some call sneaky politics.

"It's a dirty trick," said Harry Mitchell's Press Secretary Melissa Hodgdon. "They want people to think we put up those signs."

On the corner of 48th Street and Chandler Boulevard are two signs that have the same colors and same print, but one is from the Harry Mitchell Campaign, while the other is from his opponent Davis Schweikert. 

The latter reads "Pelosi Lap Dog", referring to Nancy Pelosi, a top Democrat in Congress.

"If you look at the record that is what is happening," said Schweikert Campaign Manager Oliver Schwab. "We have had a lot of people saying it's not fair, but it's the truth."

"You can call it dirty politics but they all do it to each other," noted a driver passing by the signs.

Campaign rules simply stated say you can't alter or cover an opponent's sign.  These news signs don't do that.  But the Mitchell campaign says they will still look into the matter.
