AZ-03: Arizona state Sen. Tern announces bid for Gallego's House seat
Arizona state Sen. Raquel Terán (D) on Wednesday is officially launching her campaign to replace outgoing Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, who is running for Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I) seat.
Terán stepped down as the Arizona state Senate’s minority leader in March after just two months on the job in preparation for her House run.
The Arizona native’s bid marks her first run for federal office, after nearly two years in the state Senate and almost three in the state House and a concurrent stint as chair of the Arizona Democratic Party.
Born in Douglas on the U.S.-Mexico border and raised binationally, Terán got her start in politics opposing Arizona immigration hawks including former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former state Sen. Russell Pearce (R), the primary sponsor of SB 1070, a controversial immigration crackdown.
