				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Final unofficial results from <a href="http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/AZ/42050/113200/Web01/en/summary.html">AZ Sec. of State</a> &amp; <a href="http://pima.gov/elections/results1.htm">Pima County Elections Division</a>, for Southern AZ listed below.  It took over 2 weeks to count all the early and provisional ballots cast in the General Election on November 6. Voter turnout statewide was 74.36%, higher at 77.98% in Pima County. The counting apparently took so long because many voters who received early ballots only turned them in on General Election Day, which slowed up the tallying process.</p>

<p>Stay tuned for updates, as I will post new figures as they become available &#8212; 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.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission (CCEC) held debates between contested races in the Southern AZ legislative districts, with candidates participating in Clean Elections program and also those running traditionally. &#8220;Candidates who participate in Clean Elections to run for office are required to attend one debate in the general election unless they are running unopposed. Candidates who are not running with Clean Elections funding are allowed to join the debate, but their attendance is optional.&#8221;</p>
<p> Click on this link &amp; go to the respective date to find the debate you&#8217;re interested in viewing. Mostly audience questions were asked at each debate so there were a wide range of questions and answers by these candidates.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cleanelections101.com/debates">http://www.cleanelections101.com/debates</a></p>
<p>LD 2 House race: September 20  &#8212; Chris John Ackerley (R), Andrea Dalessandro (D), Rosanna Gabaldon (D) &#8211; all three are Clean Elections candidates<br />
State Senate seat in LD 2: Senator Linda Lopez (D, incumbent in LD 29) faces write-in opposition from Don Woolley (R) and there was no CCEC debate.</p>
<p>LD 11  House &amp; Senate: September 24  &#8212; Senate: Jo Holt (D) vs. Al Melvin (R) &#8211; Holt is participating in Clean Elections<br />
House: Dave Joseph (D), Steve Smith ( R) &#8211; Joseph is participating in Clean Elections. Adam Kwasman (R) is running traditionally so his presence was optional &amp; he did not attend.</p>

<p>*9/12/12 update: LD 9 debate moved to following day, October 4, same time, same place due to conflict with U.S. Presidential debate.</p>
<p>For more info about AZ CCEC go to <a href="http://www.azcleanelections.gov/home.aspx">www.azcleanelections.gov</a>, to see list of participating candidates in the Clean Elections program. </p>
<p>The Debate schedule is <a href="http://www.cleanelections101.com/debates">here</a> on their website for other legislative districts, including LD 14 Senate &amp; House candidates on Sept. 26* in Benson, AZ. at the Benson City Council Chambers, 120 W. 6th St. In that race for Senate, incumbent Gail Griffin (R) of LD 25 is facing Pat Fleming (D). In the House race four men are vying for 2 seats: David Gowan (R) incumbent in LD 30, Robert Leach (D), David Stevens (R) incumbent in LD 25, and Mark Stonebraker (D).</p>
<p>*Update: This LD 14 debate moved to October 10, due to Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever&#8217;s memorial service.</p>
<p>In LD 10 House race, Bruce Wheeler and Ted Vogt are incumbents, currently serving as representatives in LD 28 and LD 30 respectively.  In the LD 11 Senate race, Al Melvin is the incumbent State Senator in LD 26. Cynthia Miley is a Republican write-in candidate from the AZ Primary in LD 9 House, which is why her name has not appeared in previous posts.*</p>
<p>*10/5/12 update: No appearance by Republican Cynthia Miley at last night&#8217;s CCEC debate, someone announced that she was not on the ballot. Checked with AZ SOS website, and her name does not appear for LD 9 House.</p>
<p>Attend these debates to listen to these candidates, and vote wisely on or before Nov. 6. Early voting starts October 11.</p>
