This is GREAT news for Democrats in Arizona! There were three open seats on the Tucson City Council. The Democrats ran unopposed for one of those seats and mounted strong challengers to the other two (formerly) held by Republicans Fred Ronstadt and Kathleen Dunbar.
VICTORY news from the Tucson Citizen:
Ward 3Kathleen Dunbar (Rep): 21511
38.43%Karin Uhlich (Dem): 34395
61.45%Ward 5
Steve Leal (Dem): 40501
97.49%Ward 6
Fred Ronstadt (Rep): 19495
34.67%Nina Trasoff (Dem): 36662
65.19%Proposition 100 (Mayor & Council raises)
Yes: 27317
49.09%
No: 28325
50.91%Proposition 400 (Home rule)
Yes: 30348
62.65%
No: 20417
37.35%(emphasis mine)
I attended the Democratic VICTORY party at Hotel Congress and can testify that morale has never been higher for the party. This is a big win for Tucson and will change the dynamic of the council dramatically. Smile Big Dems! We are going to reclaim this country city-by-city.
WE KICKED ASS!
