Alison Jones –
Chair of PCDP
Notes from the Chair | Nov 2019
Congratulations to our Democratic candidates for Tucson mayor and three Tucson City Council seats. All prevailed in a historic turnout on November 5. Tucson’s mayor-elect, Regina Romero, articulated a message of inclusion and optimism:
“At a time when our national politics have been sown with division, Tucsonans remain united by our shared desire to promote a safe, just and sustainable city that provides economic opportunity for our families and future generations. This movement is open to everyone, whatever your background, whatever your party, whoever you voted for. Let’s work together! We will always be one Tucson. Somos uno.”

LD UPDATES
LD9 Update – Summer 2019
It’s been a hot summer for voter registration! Teams have been trying out new ideas, partnering with other LDs, and the Field Team 6 organization. LD9 teams tried voter registration at laundromats in July, which they’ll repeat in September or October.
LD11 Update – August 2019
LD11 has been working with Field Team 6 to register voters in Tucson and the surrounding area. We have held two 2 day events, the latest being on July 22 and July 23. Gil Wier from our Voter Registration and Contact Issue Action Committee is coordinating the events and he reports that a total of 234 forms for voters have been submitted to the Pima County Recorders Office.
LD10 News – August 2019
In early July, volunteers sent letters welcoming 485 newly-registered Democrats in our LD, suggesting ways to get involved with LD10 Democrats. The project included a “Letters to New Voters Mailing Party,” which drew 27 participants.
