Arizona CCEC (Citizens Clean Elections Commission) hosted 2 debates this week in Southern Arizona:
LD 3 House debate at PCC West Campus on October 3: Democratic House Rep. Sally Ann Gonzales and Green Party candidate Edward “Trey” Cizek III — campaigning for 2 seats in the House. Not participating was the other Democratic House Rep. Macario Saldate, running traditionally (not required to be there). All candidates in this race are running traditionally (not with clean elections funds), but CCEC will host a debate is someone requests it.
State Senator Olivia Cajero Bedford (D) did not participate as she is unopposed.
