Congratulations to the winners, Paul Durham and Mike Cease.
Uhhh, censored, you can’t vote for who doesn’t run; unless you’re saying that the Dems prevented them from running?
What amazes me is that more Dems voted in Ward 6 (which was uncontested) than Ward 3.
maybe more latinos would run if they thought they wouldn’t be treated like bernie sanders was treated.
There are several women’s groups in Arizona working and encouraging women (Latinas too) to run for office: Arizona List, Arizona Women’s Political Caucus, Las Adelitas.
thank you carolyn hope they have success. I hope I can go out and campaign for latina democrats running for office. latinos too!
no latinas? and democrats wonder why latinos don’t vote!
Thank you. I was trying to find the results online.
You’re welcome. Glad the Elections results came out on time at 8 p.m. so we didn’t have to wait into the evening.
