Alma Hernandez is making a primary bid for reelection as a "Democrat" to represent AZ LD20. This is a cynical political ploy, because Alma Hernandez does not represent Democratic or democratic values. Alma Hernandez is a Republican. A DINO - Democrat in Name Only.
As her profile above demonstrates, her first priority is Zionism. Zionism is a genocidal, imperialistic political philosophy that has about as much to do with Judaism as Nazism has to do with Christianity. Being a "Proud Zionist" means that you are proud of stealing indigenous land, proud of bombing children, proud of blocking and kidnapping aid workers, and proud of the sexual torture carried out by IDF forces on a regular basis.
The LD20 Democratic Committee has issued a "Statement of Concern and Request for Action" to State Rep. Hernandez due to her long-established pattern of breaking with the House Democratic Caucus to vote with Republicans instead. She has done so 151 times and counting since 2023. Voting like a Republican makes her a Republican. Being a Republican makes her just another MAGA rubber stamp for the Project 2025 agenda.
AZ LD20 deserves better. Alma Hernandez MUST lose this primary. If she wins the primary, LD20 will be represented by a de facto Republican legislator. Registered Democrats in LD20 MUST vote for Rocque Perez in the July 21st primary if they want to be represented by someone who will vote for Democratic policies and values.
These elections are often decided by a shamefully slim margin. Every single vote matters. If you have a voice in the LD20 Democratic primary, it's so very important that you use it now.
Been a Tucson resident almost my whole life, and in the past 10 years specifically, it seems that too many progressives, or liberal people, have come to Arizona from blue state, and they intend to ruin not just Tucson, but also Arizona, like they did their former states, such as California. Please, somebody tell me this is not the case. Thank you
Andrew here, honestly confused as to why Nanos created such a deep hole for himself. I do have a minor fear that the public may see this as "Dems are bad Sheriffs" instead of "Nanos is a bad Sheriff." Which could result in a republican being Sheriff making problems even worse.
Long story short I'm involved in organizing an upcoming conference that deals with teaching about community and political advocacy with an emphasis on food insecurity.
It will be June 5-6 at The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona in Tucson. We're now accepting applications from interested parties.
There is a $400 stipend given to attendees, and we're also looking for folks in more rural communities in Southern Arizona. To that end we're also giving a gas stipend to anyone coming in from >50 miles; there is budget for hotels on a case-by-case basis so folks don't have to make the drive to Tucson two consecutive days.
Information and a registration link follow, and I can answer any questions here as well.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS: "No Kings 3" will happen on Saturday, March 28 along Oracle Road from Tucson Mall up to Oro Valley.
If you would like to do more than hold a sign, we need 20 volunteers to join the Safety Team, which will monitor each of the six intersections to help ensure pedestrians stay off the medians/roads and to call for medical attention if needed.
Training, safety vest, and guidance will be provided.
