Notes from the Chair | Sept 2019
On August 27, Tucson Councilwoman Regina Romero triumphed in the Tucson mayoral primary, winning more than 50 percent of the vote in a three-way race with record voter turnout. Councilwoman Romero’s positive message of economic sustainability and environmental stewardship energized her supporters, and emphasized her City Council experience.
Councilwoman Romero – and Tucson – made history, and Tucson became national news, as our city came one step closer to electing the first Latina mayor in Tucson history. It is, indeed, an exciting time to be in Tucson!
Cat Ripley –
Executive Director
What’s Happening at HQ? | Sept 2019
August in Tucson brought the heat – and thankfully, monsoon rains to cool it. It also brought heated Democratic mayoral and city council primaries. Now we’re gearing up to support our candidates in the November general election. Regina Romero is poised to make history as Tucson’s first Latina mayor! We at HQ could not be prouder and more excited. Congratulations to Lane Santa Cruz for running a beautiful campaign in Ward 1, to uncontested candidates Niki Lee, in Ward 4, and Ward 2’s incumbent Paul Cunningham. There’s plenty to do between now and the November 5 general election. Ballots go out on October 10.

Local Opinion: Now is the time for ‘Medicare for All’
By Alison Jones Special to the Arizona Daily Star
My Republican counterpart’s letter regarding “Medicare for All” is filled with misinformation and fear-mongering. By reading HR 1384, the Medicare for All (M4A) bill, his points can be easily refuted. But first, let me be clear, M4A will not undermine our entire health-care system. The same doctors and hospitals will continue to practice and operate.

Six known vaping deaths in the last month or so. Governments at nearly every level seem ready to respond aggressively to the crisis. In the next two hours at least six people will die of gun violence. Government response at nearly every level. Nothing..
I agree. This opens a doorway to more acts of discrimination. And the Court's protestation that this is about the speaker and not the persons spoken of, is totally unconvincing. https://t.co/HcTYgGsaM3
