Voters in Districts 17, 18 and 21 must choose from Arizona Senate candidates who disagree on almost every election issue.
Carol Ann Alaimo Three Arizona Senate seats are up for grabs in the Tucson area this year and voters face stark choices over who will best represent them on issues ranging from abortion rights to gun safety to the fight against climate change.
Wadsack, 48, who describes herself as a"Pro Trump America First conservative" declined to be interviewed for this story, claiming the Arizona Daily Star is biased against her because it has published comments from those critical of her candidacy. She also declined to take part in a debate hosted by the Star's editorial department.
Her endorsers include a local Republican group called Tucson Trump MAGA, which repeatedly posted QAnon content on its Facebook page last year. Wadsack posted a popular QAnon slogan on her own Twitter account twice in 2020 but recently disavowed QAnon as"crap" in an interview with the Arizona Republic.
Nickerson said while he holds strong views, he's a problem-solver who believes"politics is about compromise. When you bring people together you find the best solution for the whole group, not just one group." Sundareshan, who recently bore her second child, said protecting abortion access at the state level is a critical priority after federal protections recently were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Democrat Rosanna Gabaldón has served in the Legislature since 2013, first in the House, and now seeks a second term in the senate. Her opponent, Jim Cleveland, won the Republican nomination by default as a write-in candidate when a second write-in candidate quit the primary race. His top priority is stemming"the epidemic of drugs flooding our streets and the crime it creates," he said. He favors publicly-funded addiction treatment centers, full funding for law enforcement and border protection.
