"I've never made any bones about it," he said. "I'm not a candidate for the diplomatic corps." Committee members said Sturzenacker spent about $50 more for office supplies than authorized, disregarding the committee's budget. llarrer said the amount was "minimal," but that Sturzenacker continually spent money without consulting the commilte. "It was the principle of the thing," she said.

Hut Michael Kelly, the party's Maricopa County chairman and a committee member who opposed the ouster, said Sturzenacker was the victim of "internal, political squabbling" that will rob (he party of the hardest-working leader it has had. "It can't help but be divisive for the parly in the sense that we're going to be fighting for our lives," Kelly said.

"Ken has been pretty much a full-time chairman. We're going to lose a lot of visibility over the next year." Sturzenacker maintains he was asked to leave for "partially defined" reasons that were based on political rhetoric and nothing more, lie said he had done more to collect voter signatures than any other committee member and never spent beyond the budget without first telling party treasurer Kalhy llnr-rer, a committee member who supported his ouster.
