Tucson being taken over by progressives

Been a Tucson resident almost my whole life, and in the past 10 years specifically, it seems that too many progressives, or liberal people, have come to Arizona from blue state, and they intend to ruin not just Tucson, but also Arizona, like they did their former states, such as California. Please, somebody tell me this is not the case. Thank you

Step it up JoAnna Mendoza

So with Virginia losing its ability to redistrict to help with the House in November...every district really matters. JoAnna Mendoza is the only hope to flip a Republican seat back to Democratic in Arizona. Is JoAnna really doing enough here 6 month away from election?

I'm still very disappointed in her website. No policy points at all. As an independent how am I supposed to know what she stands for? I don't like Juan but there are policy points that I stand behind.

This all feels very weak marketing from the candidate, AZ Democratic Party and Pima County Dem Party.

Ward 6 Council Member Miranda Schubert proposes a “friendly” amendment that would prevent the council from bringing up bus fare discussions until 2028. Ward 1 Council Member Lane Santa Cruz seconds it.

Clearly everyone is shocked. Even Mayor Regina Romero is quiet. Ward 3 Council Member Kevin Dahl asks if you can even ask such a thing?

The proposal was ultimately not approved.

I consider this bad leadership by Schubert and Santa Cruz in trying to silence an issue that is still very active with all people of Tucson.
