Pamela Diane Gorman is a conservative Republican politician. She was first elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2004 and most recently served as Arizona State Senator for District 6 from her election in 2006 (and reelection in 2008) until she vacated her seat on January 25, 2010, in order to run for Congress to replace the retiring John Shadegg.[1] While running to be the Republican nominee for U.S. Representative from Arizona's District 3, she gained national attention for a campaign ad showing her firing a Thompson submachine gun,[2] and for her cosponsorship of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration bill.[3] She lost to Ben Quayle, the son of former vice president, Dan Quayle.[3]
