Rothschild was previously interviewed on KUAT in January (click here).

Karr is pictured below on the left, he is a retired Correctional sergeant and Maher (on the right) is an architect in Tucson.

All face off in the Democratic primary on August 30, so watch the interview (click here) and vote or write-in wisely.

Also running for Mayor are 2 Green candidates Dave Croteau & Mary DeCamp (who were previously interviewed on KUAT, click here), and two write-in Republican candidates Rick Grinnell and Daryl Peterson who are scheduled to be interviewed next Friday on KUAT at 6:30 p.m.

UPDATE: only Peterson was interviewed, to air on Friday August 19, as Grinnell was not able to attend the taping.

Vote-by-mail ballots will be mailed next week starting August 10. Absolute deadline to turn in these ballots is 7 p.m. on August 30, so mail them back early. There will be only 7 locations in the City to vote in person on August 30 (click here) from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

That’s all folks: the deadline is past for filing by any other person desiring to become a write-in candidate for Mayor of the City of Tucson or for Council seats in Wards 1, 2, and 4. *

Update 7/22/11 late afternoon per Tucson City Clerk’s website: Last minute Republican filed for Mayor: Construction worker Daryl A. Peterson, so stay tuned. And Green Beryl Baker filed as a write-in candidate for the Ward 1 City Council seat, which she ran for before in 2007. She got 26.62% of the vote then compared to Regina Romero’s 72.86%.

Remember that the City of Tucson has changed this year to vote- by- mail, where ballots will be mailed to registered voters on August 10, with the actual primary election being on August 30. Absolute deadline to drop off your ballot is 7 p.m. on August 30. (Voter registration cut off date is August 1, so there’s still time to register). The primary election ballots MUST be in the possession of the city personnel by 7 p.m. on August 30 — so mark your ballot & mail early.

7 locations will be open on August 30 for voters to:

• Drop off your ‘voted’ vote-by-mail ballot, or
• Bring your vote-by-mail ballot, cast the ballot in person and drop it in the ballot box, or
• Receive and vote a vote-by-mail replacement ballot

As to who’s running, refer to my previous blog which lists the campaign websites of almost all the candidates, including 3 write-ins – click here.

There is now two Republican Mayoral write-in candidates Rick Grinnell and Daryl Peterson, plus three Democratic ones, David Karr, Joseph Maher, Jr., and Rich Kessler. The latter was listed on the City of Tucson’s webpage as of 7/15/11, but I don’t have any information on him to date, except that he is “retired.” ^

There is only one write-in Council candidate. Green Party candidate Beryl Baker has filed as a write-in to challenge the winner of the Ward 1 Democratic primary, either incumbent Romero or challenger Flores. I believe that Baker only needs to get 3 Green Party write-in votes to qualify for the General election.

And for more info on City of Tucson’s Elections, go to their website:
http://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/gov/elections. *I’ve been awaiting the Tucson City Clerk’s updating of their 2011 candidate listing or an email reply about this deadline being past.

^Kessler has withdrawn from this race (updated 8/5/11).
