SUMMARY:LD 20 Rep. Alma Hernandez\, candidate for Senate at DGT

Alma Hernandez\, who is running for election to the Arizona Senate in LD 20\, about her campaign\, her accomplishements in office\, and the current session of the Arizona State Legislature. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for this Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/jrZwEhF-T6SeaV0LjEBCIg\n\n\n\nAlma Hernandez’s brief biography: \n\n\n\nBorn and raised on the South Side\, a proud Sunnyside School District graduate\, Alma has turned deep local roots into a powerful engine for change. At 25\, she became the youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Legislature\, turning her lived experiences into results for the community she calls home. Alma holds a Bachelor of Science and Master of Public Health and a Master’s in Legal Studies from the University of Arizona. She also has advanced training at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\, and a Juris Doctor from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. She has served as both a legislator and a professor for years. \n\n\n\nWidely recognized as the most effective Democrat in the legislature\, Alma has a proven track record of breaking through glass ceilings. Despite a Republican-controlled legislature\, Alma has passed ten laws\, secured millions for Southern Arizona\, strengthened labor unions\, advanced criminal justice reform\, protected reproductive freedom\, and expanded health care access. Her leadership is informed by personal experience navigating a broken juvenile justice system and by a lifelong commitment to ensuring every family has a fair shot. She has proudly serves as Chair of the Health Policy Committee for the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators\, helping shape health policy for Latino communities across the country. Her professional experience extends beyond the Capitol\, including humanitarian medical work in Ghana and Panama\, where she delivered care to women and children. Alma understands that policy is personal and that access to quality health care\, education\, and opportunity can change lives. \n\n\n\nA proud Mexican Jew and daughter of a construction worker and an immigrant from Mexico\, Alma never forgets where she comes from. She governs by delivering results and fighting every day for Southern Arizona. Alma is a champion for underserved communities and a proponent of bold\, common-sense leadership. She is proud of her record\, grateful for her community’s trust\, and ready to continue fighting for Southern Arizona and the values that make opportunity possible for all as the next State Senator of District 20.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note:  Alma is facing a Dem primary on July 21 with former Ward 5 Councilman Rocque Perez\, who was appointed to that position in May\, 2025 after the retirement of long time Counciman Richard Fimbres.  Alma is the sister of former House Rep. Daniel Hernandez and current LD 21 Rep. Consuelo Hernandez\, who is also running for re-election in 2026.

DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Please join us on April 13th at Noon via Zoom for a lively discussion with Miranda Lopez who is running for Arizona State Representative in LD 21 about her campaign\, her district\, and her position on the pressing issues facing our state. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for this Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4ymUrLavTYe-or_i45z-Aw\n\n\n\nMiranda says of herself and her campaign: \n\n\n\nI graduated from the University of Arizona in 2018 (Bear Down!) and began my career working in grassroots organizing with the statewide Democratic Coordinated Campaign where I served as both a Field Organizer and later a Regional Organizing Director. \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, I was Executive Director of the Pima County Democratic Party\, where I focused on building local party and data infrastructure\, supporting candidates\, and strengthening community engagement across Southern Arizona. \n\n\n\nI started working for the Arizona Students’ Association in 2023 where I advocated for college students at the state legislature\, developed student leaders at the University of Arizona\, and mobilized young people to take action against harmful legislation. During this time I decided to return to school\, and along the way I joined United Campus Workers and was elected as their Treasurer. After working a fulltime job and being a fulltime student\, I finally graduated with my Masters in Public Administration in May of 2025. \n\n\n\nI believe real change happens when communities are organized\, informed\, and empowered — and that’s the approach I bring to everything I do.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: This is a 4 way Dem primary for 2 House seats\,  with Miranda challenging two incumbents\, Consuelo Hernandez and Stephanie Stahl Hamilton\, along with another political newcomer Maritza Higuera. The AZ Primary is on July 21\, 2026 this year. Consuelo is sister to LD 20 House Rep. Alma Hernandez\, now running for Senate in that LD\, and also former House Rep. Daniel Hernandez. Stephanie was a House Rep. in LD 10 prior to running for LD 21. \n\n\n\nShare this:

SUMMARY:Architect Bob Vint at Sustainable Tucson meeting
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 14 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n“Sustainable Tucson Monthly Meeting\, 2nd Tuesday\, 6:00-7:30 pm\, on Zoom. Join us Tuesday\, April 14 at 6:00 pm for Sustainable Tucson’s monthly Sustainability Spotlight program. Our speaker will be Robert Vint\, Assistant Professor of Architecture and longtime Tucson architect. He will speak on designing for the desert. Details and the Zoom link for the meeting will be on our website www.sustainabletucson.org\, and on our Facebook and Meetup pages. To be added to our newsletter e-list\, send your name and email address to paula@sustainabletucson.org. \n\n\n\nSustainable\, Affordable Building:Ancient & Modern Designs for Living in the Sonoran Desert\n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\, 6:00-7:15 pmZoom: <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88387731024?pwd=eiaCBZIjaB6iiHiRSAQiI2PPKUpsXx.1>\n\n\n\nMany of the solutions for climate and habitat resilience are hiding in plain sight.  Come to this month’s Sustainability Spotlight to learn about building design principles that help urban and rural communities weather extreme heat and dryness more effectively and\, ultimately\, at lower cost than “building as usual.” Our speaker\, Bob Vint\, has a decades-long career in architecture and is an active teacher in the classroom and in the field.  His latest field project involved a trip with UA architecture students to Agua Prieta\, Sonora\, where they designed and constructed housing for a local family in partnership with Rancho Feliz. Working alongside local builders and community members\, students helped complete a single-family home using the Highly-Johansen system\, a construction approach designed to perform in extreme desert climates.  This community-engaged learning model connects design education with real-world impact and is a model that may have real-world applications in a variety of endeavors.\n\n\n\nBOB VINT is a native Tucsonan who has practiced as a licensed architect in Arizona\, New Mexico\, Texas\, and Massachusetts.  He serves as preservation architect for the Mission San Xavier del Bac in Pima County\, the most significant historic building in Arizona (dating to 1783\, built of low-fire clay brick with lime mortar)\, as well as for the prehistoric Native American Cliff Dwellings of the Sierra Ancha in the Tonto National Forest (dating to 1290\, built of stone with mud mortar).  Additional projects of note include Linda Ronstadt’s Tucson residence\, the main entrance to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum\, and the mixed-use Plaza San Agustin in downtown Tucson.\n\n\n\nVint is author of a book on affordable housing in the Southwest published by the department of Housing & Urban Development\, Southwest Housing Traditions: Design\, Materials\, Performance (2005).  Since 2011\, he has been a member of the adjunct faculty at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture\, Planning & Landscape Architecture.  His courses include the History & Theory of Urban Design and Arid Region Urbanism\, featuring field trips throughout the Southwest.”\n\n\n\nhttps://capla.arizona.edu/directory \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note:  Bob Vint has worked on the historic San Xavier del Bac Mission and on the Ranchhouse at Agua Calente Park\, where I was a board member for five years.

In Furious Minds\, Laura Field chronicles the rise of the New Right—the network of academics\, public intellectuals\, and influencers who provide ideological fuel to Trumpism\, and to Vice President JD Vance. Perhaps above all else\, the MAGA New Right is engaged in a vast culture war against modern liberal pluralism. Field will discuss what inspired her to write the book and provide an overview of the ideological radicalization that is shaping contemporary politics in American and around the world. \n\n\n\nLaura K. Field is an associate with the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University\, a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution\, and visiting scholar in residence at American University. A political theorist by training\, she holds a PhD in government from the University of Texas at Austin\, and has held faculty positions at Rhodes College in Memphis\, Georgetown University\, and American University in Washington\, DC. In addition to her academic work she has written for The New Republic\, Politico\, The Bulwark\, Le Monde\, The New York Times and The Atlantic. Her book Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right is now out with Princeton University Press. She lives in Washington\, DC. “
