I am dumbfounded by the Republican party. The City Council of packed to the gills with incompetents, but none are as bad as reheeeeeena romero. Even stupid Tucson voters have got to see that one for themselves. Yet, the republicans don’t even field a candidate for that Ward? What in the world were they thinking???
If you truly care about what’s best for this community (which judging by election results most of you don’t), do not reelect any incumbent on any local level….ESPECIALLY in city council races.
