		Renzi was the first to address about 50 people gathered for the $50-a-plate buffet dinner at The Property Conference Center, and he emphasized his commitment to serving the needs of the rural communities in District 1, calling attention to what he termed misuse of the Endangered Species Act.
		Renzi said that he intended to prevent such cases from happening by helping to enact legislation that would prevent petitions from going through the court without sound scientific basis.
		Renzi noted that the extreme use of the Endangered Species Act without reason is a mark of the past, and added that the nation is lucky to have a common-sense, mainstream conservationist in Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton, the first woman in 153 years to represent the Interior Department.

	Sabato's Crystal Ball - 2004 House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Two years ago, Grand Canyon State Democrats were left reeling when wealthy Republican Rick Renzi, a conservative firebrand with a questionable political resume, emerged from a crowded GOP primary field and proceeded to narrowly defeat George Cordova, a weak Democratic nominee whose failed business ventures became the subject of a relentless national GOP ad barrage.
		While Republicans point to Renzi's incumbency and some inroads he's made among Native American voters, national Democrats have pegged the race a prime takeover opportunity and see in Babbitt a credible challenger who will finally have the resources to paint Renzi as too conservative for this swing seat.
		As the Crystal Ball predicted, Republican Rick Renzi won reelection with 59 percent of the vote.

		Renzi’s high level of support among the district’s American Indians, has effectively cut off the Democrats’ best advantage — one they hoped Jackson, himself a Navajo, would be able to counteract.
		Renzi, a wealthy businessman who benefited from big fundraising advantages in his first two House campaigns, raised $900,000 in 2005 and had $600,000 in the bank as of Dec. 31.
