Carmona For Arizona

Born to a poor Hispanic family in New York City, Dr. Richard Carmona experienced homelessness, hunger and bleak prospects for a future education and economic opportunity.

The child of parents who emigrated to the United States and struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse, Rich learned tough early lessons about economic disparities and social injustice – an experience he has never forgotten, and one that has given him an understanding of how culture, health, education and economic status shape our country.

I can identify with Dr. Carmona, the former Surgeon General, and I think you can too.

Arizona needs Senators who care about the average Arizonan and are willing to serve our interests. Vote for Rich, not the rich, and help change Arizona's future for the better.

Arizona Wildcats Win 2012 CWS

Congratulations to the University of Arizona Wildcat baseball team for beating the two-time defending champions South Carolina Gamecocks to capture the 2012 College World Series (CWS) title.

Arizona did not lose a game in the NCAA Tournament, and won its last 11 games and 18 of its last 20 in 2012, a great time of the year to get hot. They played flawlessly! This NCAA baseball crown is the Wildcats 4th national title (also 1976, 1980 and 1986).

100 Years, 100 Ranchers

Scott Baxter traveled across Arizona photographing ranching families that have been around since the state's birth. This mythos of the American West serves as inspiration for a new centennial exhibit at the Tucson Museum of Art entitled "100 Years 100 Ranchers: Photographs by Scott Baxter."

Arizona: At Least We're Not Mexico

Someone behind the political scenes recently leaked to me this alleged Republican campaign theme being considered for the upcoming state elections - "Arizona: At Least We're Not Mexico"

An unknown Democrat argued that, perhaps politically, we are exactly the same. Any thoughts?
