Short diary to let everyone know that the AZ Congressional Race has finally been
called for Ron Barber. This was Gabby Giffords district and Ron was on her staff. He was also shot and wounded on January 9th at my Safeway in Tucson.
Because the race was too close to call for the last two weeks, both Ron and his opponent went to the House orientation. (That must have been weird.) But now Martha McSally has conceded.
Ron was the head of our state's Department of Developmental Disabilities for 30 years. He's a good guy, who worked to take care of families and their disabled children. He's not a rich guy.
The best news is that in January, our nine member congressional delegation from AZ will have a five Democrat majority.
Arizona is turning blue. Won't be long now.
Have a great day!
