Today was the day for the Special Election by the City of Tucson regarding Prop 414, the so-called Safe & Vibrant City proposition to increase the city sales tax by half a cent for 10 years.
City of Tucson Election Dept. has released the early returns: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/clerks/documents/elections/results/2025/special/25saztuc_unofficialresults03112025.pdf
Yes 23,084
No 53,350
Stay tuned for updates, but it appears that Prop 414 has been defeated.
My husband and I attended the Yes on 414 campaign election night party at the Tucson Firefighters Assn. Union Hall. PCDP Executive Director Alex Kack was there, along with Ward 3 Councilman Kevin Dahl, and Ward 6 Councilwoman Karin Uhlich. About 30 people in attendance but we had to leave early before the results came in, as my husband had another event at the UA.
Voter turnout was 25.01%.
