Thanks Russell, it was an upset for Randy and Cheryl to beat incumbent
Republican Ethan Orr in LD 9. I was very busy on Saturday when I posted this news. I was helping all day at our Japanese New Year’s celebration: https://blogforarizona.net/photo-gallery-of-2nd-annual-japanese-new-years-mochitsuki-celebration/
I would have included that Cheryl Cage not only chaired the Friese campaign successfully, but that she did it while being outspent by many times by the opponent who lost. This was one of the upsets of the year! This was a major feat.
