The number of House members who've announced they aren't running for reelection is running a fair bit ahead of recent cycles. Not dramatically so, but a noticeable uptick.

Tucson stayed blue at the ballot box Tuesday, approving every Democrat for City Council and every school bond / override. Plan Tucson 2025 passed, buses may stay free, but the new Council will have to tackle a $70 million budget deficit isnโt going away. Link below. ๐

Democratic candidates are well ahead in early results. (Selina Barajas is unopposed and is having a great night.) All four propositions on the ballot (depending on where you live it should be two props) are likely to pass, at least according to early results.

Six months after voters crushed a half-cent sales tax hike, a new plan is bubbling up. Instead of one big measure, Councilman Kevin Dahl wants to split public safety and social services into separate ballot questions โ betting that breaking the tax apart might finally break through the opposition. ๐
