Cycling for Goddard– tonight
Don’t miss the Tucson Community Bike Ride tonight, October 12. The cycling for Goddard folks are going to ride tonight to show their support for Terry Goddard’s candidacy for governor of Arizona.
If you want to participate, bring your bike, helmet, light, and Goddard paraphernalia (t-shirt, signs, etc.) and meet in front of the Starbucks on University, near Main Gate at 7:30 p.m. For added effect, decorate your bike with extra lights or other bling. Extra Goddard signs will be available. See you there!

We often hear that corporations need migrant workers because Americans “don’t want to do these jobs.” When I hear this statement, I picture farm workers picking vegetables. Recently, I toured two dairies and an animal feed packing plant in Pinal County. The photo above from the Zinke Dairy shows a giant cow milking carousel. Nine migrant workers milk 4000 cows three times a day at this dairy. Legislators watched the two men pictured here– working at a brisk pace– bend over and pick up, lift, and attach large electronic suction cups to the cows as they ride the carousel around the giant facility. This level of automation is the wave of the future for industrial jobs.

The Living Economy event was very informative; we had a great time hob-nobbing. My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona and buying/investing locally. We believe that supporting local small businesses with low-interest loans through a public/private partnership between a public bank and community banks and credit unions is the sustainable route to improving our local economy. Trickle down economics doesn’t work; it’s time for new ideas.

Governor Ducey had proposed increasing prison beds and funding, while cutting education. Protesters took issue with that short-sighted idea.
There have been many lively debates in the Arizona House in 2018. This team of House Democrats fought for consumer protections and fought against risky financial deals in a “regulatory sandbox.” (Pictured are Reps. Mitzi Epstein, Kelli Butler, Athena Salman, Pamela Powers Hannley, Ken Clark and Isela Blanc.)
It was truly a honor to meet Nevada State Senator Patricia Spearman (center) in October and to confer with her regarding our efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Arizona. Spearman led the successful Nevada efforts to ratify the ERA in 2017. Here we are with activist and NOW leader Dainne Post after the ERA workshop at the We the People Conference in Phoenix. There are a lot of Arizona women who are ready to make history in 2018. Watch my blog here and my Facebook page here for ERA updates.

I’m out in Cochise County so I won’t be able to make it, but here’s some news to motivate you:
The latest poll has Goddard within striking distance. The Rocky Mountain Poll, conducted Oct. 1-10, has Goddard within the poll’s 4.2% margin of error, Brewer 38% Goddard 35% among all registered voters with 20% undecided. Brewer led by 20 points in a Rocky Mountain Poll conducted in July. Goddard is leading Brewer in Pima County (46% to 29%)but trails in populous Maricopa country (41% to 36%) and in the rural counties, (28% to 26%). Goddard also has a huge lead among Latino voters with 60% and only 13% backing Brewer. Story at CNN.
Arizona deserves and needs better than Jan Brewer, Go Terry!

I sure hope you’re right!
I think the community bike ride will be fun. We are trying to stir up interest in voting amongst students and other downtown types who participate in this event. Watch for video– hopefully tomorrow.
