  • Democratic Erosion in Arizona and New Mexico By
    Democratic Erosion in Arizona and New Mexico A comparative analysis on the divergence of border states over time. Capstone Thesis with Professor Sperber by: Cristin Espinoza Published March 2018 at the University of Denver 1. Introduction. Whereas former US Supreme Court Chief Justice Brandeis once described US states as laboratories of democracy, recent scholarship on democratic erosion calls for scholars to reconsider the degree to which US states may also serve as laboratories for authoritarian practices (Levitsky & Ziblatt, 2018). In this paper, I seek to advance the understanding of democratic erosion. First, I establish empirical variation in the level of democratic erosion across two US southern border states: Arizona and New Mexico. I also demonstrate that although journalistic accounts often emphasize the role of demography and geography as determinants of voter suppression, redistricting, populist rhetoric, and even racial profiling practices in Arizona, the aforementioned factors are more similar than different across Arizona and New Mexico. Instead, I evaluate the hypothesis that long-run historical differences have influenced democratic erosion in these cases in ways previously overlooked. Specifically, I consider whether stronger Native American defense against white settlement in Arizona constituted a critical juncture that led to significantly more exclusive and ethnically charged state-level politics in Arizona than in neighboring New Mexico. To evaluate this hypothesis rigorously, I consider additional, competing hypotheses, including the possibility that rapid growth of Arizona’s older white population in recent decades, or differences in recent immigration flows may have steered the state in a less democratic direction than its neighbor. I find little evidence that these factors can explain what I demonstrate are longer-run political differences across state lines.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks on the Shootings In
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks on the Shootings in Tucson, Arizona January 8, 2011 As many of you are aware, earlier today a number of people were shot in Tucson, Arizona, including several who were meeting at a supermarket with their Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. We are still assembling all the facts, but we know that Representative Giffords was one of the victims. She is currently at a hospital in the area, and she is battling for her life. We also know that at least five people lost their lives in this tragedy. Among them were a Federal judge, John Roll, who has served America's legal system for almost 40 years, and a young girl who was barely 9 years old. I've spoken to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and offered the full resources of the Federal Government. A suspect is currently in custody, but we don't yet know what provoked this unspeakable act. A comprehensive investigation is currently underway, and at my direction, Director Bob Mueller is en route to Arizona to help coordinate these efforts. I've also spoken to the Democratic and Republican leaders in the House. Gabby Giffords was a friend of mine. She is not only an extraordinary public servant, but she is also somebody who is warm and caring. She is well liked by her colleagues and well liked by her constituents. Her husband, Mark Kelly, is a Navy captain and one of America's valiant astronauts. It's not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does: listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbors.
