Congratulations to @TucsonRomero, the first Latina mayor of Tucson, on her historic win last night—and to @LUCHA_AZ and the other grassroots community activists that fought hard for this progressive victory. https://twitter.com/TucsonRomero/status/1191924115814285313
Thank you, Tucson.
Yesterday, Tucsonans elected the most qualified and proven candidate to lead their city — and along the way, they made history by electing their first Latina and woman mayor.
We couldn't be prouder of @TucsonRomero on her historic achievement.
