On September 29, KUAT Channel 6 is hosting a televised debate between Republican LD 30 State Senator Frank Antenori and challenger Democrat Dr. Todd Camenisch, at 6:30 p.m.
You can view it online at: www.azpm.org (usually a few hours before the debate and thereafter).

The next day the three candidates running for LD 30 State House (Rep. David Gowan, Rep. Ted Vogt, and Andrea Dalessandro) will face off at an Arizona Clean Elections Commission (CCEC) debate live in Tucson, at the Pima Community College East Campus, 8181 E. Irvington Rd., at 6 p.m. Gowan is running “clean” and the other two are running traditionally.

Senator Frank Antenori was appointed to this position in February, 2010 when then LD 30 Senator Jonathan Paton resigned to run for CD 8 House (which he lost to political newcomer Jesse Kelly in the GOP primary). Antenori was one of the 2 freshman house legislators in that district since January, 2009 and is program manager in the Aerospace-Defense industry. Dr. Camenisch serves on the Catalina Foothills School District Governing Board and is a professor at the U of A in the College of Pharmacy.

The other 2 Republican house legislators elected Rep. David Gowan and appointed Rep. Ted Vogt are both running for re-election, on the same team as Senator Antenori.

Gowan is a magazine distributor. Vogt was a 3rd year law student at the U of A when he was appointed in March, 2010. Their Democratic challenger is Andrea Dalessandro, who ran before for this same position in November, 2008, and is a retired CPA/teacher/small business operator of a tax practice.

Stay tuned for final unofficial results, especially for AG race which is still too close to call for the Republican nomination. Other races likely to remain the same till all votes counted, and the canvass is accepted.

UPDATE: Thurs. 8/26 5:07 p.m. 869,441 votes counted to date, 28.02% voter turnout. Stay tuned for tomorrow night’s tally. Horne ahead of Andrews by wider margin (1073), same with Rotellini over Lujan by a much wider margin (3203), causing Lujan to concede tonight. Same candidates still ahead in LD 26, 27, 28, which are the only close races to watch now.

UPDATE: Friday 8/27 6:36 p.m. 913,578 votes counted to date, 29.44 % turnout. Andrew Thomas thought of conceding today but has apparently changed his mind since he is only 485 votes behind Horne now. Most candidates leading in LD 26, 27 and 28 seem to have won. About 22,000 votes still to be counted, stay tuned for next tally.

UPDATE: Saturday 8/28 8:13 p.m. 931,817 votes counted, 30.03% turnout. Andrew Thomas still behind Tom Horne by 853 votes. Let’s see what Monday’s tally will be.

Sec. of State’s office told me they had 3800 votes to count today and into tomorrow. Counties have 5 working days to submit their votes, so tomorrow night is the deadline. Finally!

FINAL UPDATE: Tuesday 8/31, 4:29 p.m. 934,113 votes cast (final unofficial results), turnout 30.10 % of the 3,102,876 registered voters in Arizona.
