Carolyn’s note: I recognize Stephen Farley, former LD 9 AZ State Senator (2013 to 2019), LD 28 AZ House Rep. (2007 to 2013) , who also ran for Governor of Arizona in August 2018, and Mayor of Tucson in August 2019. Juan Padres is the businessman/teacher candidate who ran for Ward 3 Council in August 2021 and for District 3 Pima County Supervisor in August 2020. The three others are political newcomers/lawyers.
