I am in Ward 2 tonight listening to an unusual public meeting - about fiscal year 26/27.
(We are in FY 25/25, for what it is worth. )
While this is being held in Paul Cunningham’s Ward 2 office, Ward 4 Councilwoman Nikki Lee is also here.

I am on the eastside of town for a scheduled town hall with @gallego.senate.gov and Rep. Juan Ciscomani.
(Well, the two-term Republican was invited at the very least to attend.)

So what did Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva do after she was sworn in? She got to work. Find out what her next steps are by clicking the link below.
Congressional District 7 finally has its seat back — and @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social wasted zero time showing what she’s going to do with it. #AZ07
“Adelante, mi gente.”
This is just the start for Grijalva … Tucson on the hook for homeless camp … And is that your final answer Mike Johnson?

ICYMI: Mayor Romero and Supervisor Scott are trying to reset the tone ahead of next week’s joint meeting — but the hard decisions about fentanyl, homelessness, & $23 mil in opioid funds are still looming.
The people who aren’t guaranteed a seat at the table may matter just as much as who are.

ICYMI: Ward 5 voters saw one name on the ballot… and thousands still said “nah.” Selina Barajas won easily, but more than 19,000 people skipped her race entirely. Meanwhile, Prop 414 passed but even some loyal Democrats couldn’t stomach a $205-a-year tax increase.

Tucson stayed blue at the ballot box Tuesday, approving every Democrat for City Council and every school bond / override.
Plan Tucson 2025 passed, buses may stay free, but the new Council will have to tackle a $70 million budget deficit isn’t going away.

Breaking: Both #TucsonCouncil Democratic candidates are well ahead in early results. (Selina Barajas is unopposed and is having a great night.)
All four propositions on the ballot (depending on where you live it should be two props) are likely to pass, at least according to early results.

We talked to Kris Mayes just before she filed the lawsuit. Read today’s Tucson Agenda to hear what she had to say.
Wonder Woman’s on her side. So is the Arizona Attorney General. But will a federal judge finally make Mike Johnson swear Adelita Grijalva in?
