Can Democrats take over the Arizona House and Senate? These 10 races will decide


Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d be writing in my lifetime: Arizona Democrats soon may actually grab some power at the state Capitol.

The party that’s long been ignored during decades of Republican rule appears poised to take over the state House. There’s even an outside chance they could control the Senate after the Nov. 3 election.

You think it’s a big deal that Arizona could back a Democrat for president for the first time in 24 years?

How about the prospect of Democrats taking control of the state Legislature for the first time in 54 years? (Cue the power set, dropping into a dead faint.)

She knew she was to be appointed to finish out John McCain’s senate seat and in a brilliant comment said she wished he would hurry up and die. To say McCain is Arizona’s favorite son is an understatement! Red, blue or Indy, in Arizona you just don’t diss the guy. It’s still a political topic there.

With the McCain’s actively backing Joe Biden it’s making a difference
