Stay tuned for updates, as I will post new figures as they become available — but only if the results are changed from this initial report, as ballots will be counted slowly day by day. This is the update of the latest returns, but not all precincts have reported statewide. Congratulations to the winners.

There are several contested State Senate & House races in LD 2, 9, 10, 11 in the upcoming Nov. 6 General Election. Candidates in LD 3 are unopposed: State Senator Olivia Cajero Bedford, House Reps. Sally Ann Gonzales and Macario Saldate. LD 2 State Senator Linda Lopez is running unopposed. Attend these forums to meet & ask questions of your future legislative representatives.

If you’re unsure of who’s running in your Legislative District (LD), go to AZ Secretary of State’s website (click here for official list). Each LD elects one Senator and two House representatives to the AZ State Legislature, every two years.

All forums (between October 1 and 12) are from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Vote wisely on or before Nov. 6, with early voting starting on Oct. 11.

A live debate between the 3 candidates running for the vacant CD 8 Congressional seat will beheld on May 23 at 7 p.m. at the Tucson Jewish Community Center, 3800 E. River Rd.

Complimentary tickets for admission will be issued starting at 6 p.m. for the 500 people allowed inside the ballroom. Injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords resigned from this seat in January of this year.

All 3 candidates Ron Barber (D), Jesse Kelly (R) and Charlie Manolakis (G) will be participating. The MC for the evening will be radio talk show host Bill Buckmaster of the Buckmaster Show (high noon on weekdays on KVOI AM 1030) .
