The Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll finds the Democrat with a large advantage among Latino voters and a small edge in all-important Maricopa County. In the race for U.S. Senate, Democrat Mark Kelly maintains his lead over incumbent Martha McSally. The poll also finds widespread voter support for a ballot measure to impose an income tax surcharge on high-earners and nominally more support than opposition for a proposition to legalize marijuana, although the latter vote could be close depending on turnout. Among all registered voters in Arizona, the race for president stands at 48% for Biden and 44% for Trump. The contest stood at a similar 46% to 43% in a poll taken shortly before the state’s presidential primary in March. Another 4% currently support Jo Jorgensen and 3% are undecided. Voter intent includes 42% who say they are certain to vote for Biden (versus 45% who say they are not at all likely to support the Democrat) and 38% who are certain to support Trump (versus 48% who are not at all likely). Under a likely voter scenario with a somewhat higher level of turnout than in 2016, the race narrows to 48% for Biden and 46% for Trump.

  • Mayor Attends Arizona-Mexico Commission's 60Th Anniversary Summit
    Mayor Attends Arizona-Mexico Commission's 60th Anniversary Summit During the last week of June, I attended the Arizona Mexico Commission's 60th Anniversary Summit. Arizona and Sonora have made history over the past 60 years as neighbors, partners and friends. The Arizona-Mexico Commission (AMC), founded in 1959, celebrated its 60th anniversary at its 2019 Summit in Phoenix. Throughout the past sixty years, the Commission has focused on strengthening the relationship between Arizona and Mexico. Together, we continue to define our future. While attending, various conversations were held regarding: Agribusiness and Wildlife, Arts and Culture, Community and Social Organizations, Education, Emergency Management, Real Estate, Tourism, Economic Development, Energy, Environment and Water, Financial and Legal Services, Health Services, Mining, Security, Transportation, Infrastructure, and Ports. The forums I attended were informative and on-point. On Wednesday, I attended the Transportation Electrification Forum focusing upon the electric grid and the economic impact of transportation innovation and electric vehicle adoption. On Thursday, attendees heard from keynote speakers regarding North American and global leadership and 21st century healthcare (specifically, as it relates to genomic medicine). There was also an important panel discussion on border infrastructure. Friday started with a fireside chat with three members of the United States House of Representatives (Rep. Debbie Lesko, Rep. David Schweikert, and Rep. Greg Stanton). This was followed by a panel discussion focusing upon markets of opportunity. Next, I participated in a small group meeting with Governors Doug Ducey (Arizona) and Claudia Pavlovich (Sonora, Mexico). Arizona's trade with Mexico and Canada exceed $20 billion last year. #USMCA will ensure our region's economic prosperity.

    BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Jo M. Holt Chair Pima County Democratic Party 4639 E. First St. Tucson, AZ 85711 Complainant, v. Representative Martha McSally McSally for Congress P.O. Box 19128 Tucson, AZ 85731 Respondents. COMPLAINT Complainant files this complaint with the Federal Election Commission under 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(l) against Representative Martha McSally and McSally for Congress for potential violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 , as amended ("the Act") and Federal Election Commission regulations, as described below. Representative McSally announced on November 7th, 2017 that she is running for the United States Senate in Arizona. Following this date, Representative McSally continued to raise and spend funds, including financing a poll apparently designed to inform her Senate campaign strategy. Yet, Representative McSally has not filed either a Statement of Candidacy or a Statement of Organization with the Federal Election Commission (the "Commission"). The Act requires every federal candidate to file these two forms to notify both the Commission and the public of their candidacy. Representative McSally did not file either form. Complainant respectfully asks the Commission to promptly investigate these potential violations and take any action necessary to ensure that Representative McSally cannot pursue federal candidacy while skirting the most basic disclosure obligations imposed upon all individuals that seek federal office. FACTS Representative McSally is a current Member of Congress from Arizona's
