Despite the curveball the pandemic threw at our community, I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made in my first term.

“I am running for re-election because I love serving as your Mayor, we have accomplished so much and we have work left to do. Tucson is not immune to the economic trends and challenges that cities and employers throughout the country are facing. My priority during my second term will be putting our strategic plans into action while addressing the emerging issues facing our city, including keeping our community safe, affordable, and economically prosperous.”

“We need experienced leadership, evidence-based policies, and innovative solutions to tackle our most pressing challenges. It has been the honor of my life to be entrusted by Tucsonans to serve as Mayor of our beautiful city. I am asking Tucson’s voters for their support in re-electing me to be their Mayor.”
