Sometimes it feels like the only race that appears to be going on this September is the District 18 Senate race. Well, the Tribune has devoted some equal time to some of the other races around town. They are covering the fairly quiet District 19 race and they are also covering the crowded field of the District 18 house race.
They are also running the obligatory story about how early ballots have impacted elections. They use a District 18 spin to the story, which is fine, but I would have liked it if they would have put in some District 19 numbers as well. There are still a lot of ballots out, but it makes you wonder how many people are going to vote this time around. After all, this is a September election, and when you first open up your early ballot, there isn't very many contested races listed. In Mesa, short of the congressional race in CD 5 and a few legislative races, the Republican ballot is just a lot of fill in the lines. Same goes for the Democrat ballot with the exception of the County Attorney race.

Im not a big fan of either of these guys. I think they are focusing on one issue too much. That is immigration. Its good, and it should be one of the focal points, but Mesa has many other issues than just illegals. I think a lot of people like to use this argument as a crutch, and the candidates are aware this is an emotional subject, one that be talked about. At times, I get frustrated with what our representative is not doing for Mesa. I think we deserve more, but if this is what we got, you have to go for what is best choice.
Our elected official in the house and senate have very little to do directly with the city of Mesa, that’s the job of the city council.
What they can do, as Russell Pearce and our other elected official did with the Mesa General Hospital in getting the time limited extended so that the hospital could open back up again with out having the recertify. If the hospital had to recertify it would have never opened again.
Thank you Russell, Karen and Mark.
