• Grassroots organizations have taken over the Pima County Democratic Party. Alison Jones’ 5-vote victory is not a mandate, but it is a call for a new direction.
• Finding a new executive director to replace incumbent Heath Butrum.
• Jones will broaden the base of the party to include civic organization and labor that have been shut out.
• Who will run for Tucson mayor to replace Jonathan Rothschild? Will the CEO of the YWCA run?
• Millennials are stepping forward to run for County Party positions, Connor Welton was elected for Recording Secretary over two long-experienced party members.
• The dis-Appointment of Marth McSally to US Senate. Mitch McConnel lobbies for her even though she knows nothing about public service, but can fly a plane.
• Who will beat McSally in 2020? Ruben Gallego, orhometown favorite Steve Farley?
• Alison Jones will call a summit meeting of the leaders of Pima County’s six legislative districts – to compare notes.
