This afternoon was the third candidate forum for AZ-08 democrats. It was held in Sierra Vista at Buena High School at 1:00. 4 of the 7 democrats who are declared candidates were there discussing the issues. All of the candidates did extremely well and I'm convinced that this primary is sharpening their skills for the general.
After visiting Naco, Mexico, my girlfriend, a friend and I were late, but we just missed the intros. Appearantly Francine Shacter was sick, so she felt it was best for everyone present not to show up. Her finance chair gave a closing statement on her behalf, but it allowed the other candidates to answer things a bit more fully.
In attendence were: Alex Rodriguez (TUSD Schoolboard), Gabrielle Giffords (Ex-State Senator), Jeff Latas (Commercial Pilot & Fighting Dem) & Patty Wiess (Former News Anchor). Absent were: Francine Shacter (Dem Activist), Richard Roth (Rio Rico School Teacher) & Dwight Leicster (Dem Activist whose name I've surely spelled wrong).
Follow me over to the flip for the details...
