Craig Smith enjoys the way reporting can be a passport to interesting experiences.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Democrats have had a lock on the Tucson Mayor’s Office for the last 12 years but Janet Wittenbraker is a Republican hoping to take the office back for her party. KGUN9’s Craig Smith talked to Wittenbraker about what she hopes to change about Tucson if she takes the top job.
“My firm belief is our nation is in the shape it's in because we've given up on our city, one city at a time. We've allowed for the open borders, we've allowed for fentanyl to seep across our borders, and we've allowed for people to take over a park and not face their addictions.”Tucson mayoral candidate: Janet Wittenbraker
“And it was a direct result of city policies voted by the mayor, current mayor and council, the vaccine mandate, the Black Lives Matter sidewalk, the ruling against the Thin Blue Line. We had horrible attrition and that doesn't help with enforcing our laws.”
