We in this district are voting to replace our Congressman who got caught in the 'Me, too' movement late last year. If you want the sordid details look up Trent Franks.
Two women are running to replace him. The guy that both Franks and former Sheriff Joe Arpaio wanted was defeated in the primary. Chances are that the Republican will win, and win easily. If the Republican woman gets 70% of the vote, there's really nothing to see here. It's a strongly Republican district that often doesn't have a Democratic challenger for this seat. If the Republican gets around 60% the Democrats will have plenty to celebrate even if a lot of places it would look like a heavy loss. If it ends up fairly even or the Democrat squeaks out a win, the other Republicans in the House of Representatives should start looking for a place to hide as the November election approaches.
I've been bombarded by phone calls, which I don't answer, from polling groups for that last month. I told the Republican worker who came to my door a few weeks ago, I'd vote for the Democrat. In fact I already had by mail.
