Kevin Dahl is running for reelection to another term on the Tucson city council from Ward 3 (which is the Ward I live in) and a few friends appeared this evening to announce the launch of his campaign. Here’s some footage of his introduction by supporters Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and Pima Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, and his own speech:

It’s time for a change in Ward 3. The current City Council Member doesn’t have the skills, savy or willingness to be an independent voice for the Ward 3 constituents.
Sadie Shaw is showing she has the energy, intelligence and wants to listen and then act on Ward 3 residents issues. Sadie has demonstrated as a TUSD Board Member her strong advocacy for students and families. Her independence and willingness to ask tough questions and getting results reflects the type of representation needed in Ward 3 and for all of our Tucson community.
Hi Jerry, you took a strong stand against Prop 414, which was soundly defeated on March 11 (70% to 30%). I recollect that Sadie was also against it as well. Thanks for your comment, as a former Ward 3 Councilmember.
Republican attorney Janet Wittenbraker has now also joined the list of hopefuls for this Ward 3 seat. She ran for Tucson Mayor in Nov. 2023 and for Pima County Supervisor for District 3 in Nov. 2024. So she’s used to running for office.

In Mayor’s race she got 30% of the vote, 43% in the District 3 race.
Besides Mayor Romero and District 5 Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, also in attendance: District 3 Supervisor Jen Allen, TUSD Governing Bd. member Natalie Luna Rose, Amphi School Bd. member Matt Kopec, Ward 5 Council candidate Selina Barajas, Ward 6 Council candidate Miranda Schubert. About 60 people were present at Brother’s John’s BBQ, 1801 N. Stone Ave. Kevin apparently faces Dem opposition from 2 term TUSD Governing Bd. member Sadie Shaw, but the official nomination petitions are due on April 7, 2025, so there is no official list of who’s running as yet.
