Failed candidate David Alger fronted a legal challenge to the one Democratic candidate for state senate in LD8, Rep. Melody Hernandez.
It was successful, in that she withdrew from the race, leaving the Democratic ballot in that district with no candidate for the state senate seat on the ballot.
One person has stepped into the gap. - Lauren Kuby, a former member of the Tempe City Council and long-time community activist.
I don't expect everyone to agree with me on everything (they should though, as I'm always right, Just ask me. :) )
However, I do expect that all of my elected officials to be decent and honorable human beings, and Lauren falls squarely into that category.
As she's running as a write-in candidate, she'll need at least 405 people to write her name on their primary ballots in order for her to appear on the general election ballot.
And she easily deserves that.
Note: I've linked to her campaign website on the sidebar to the right. If you can donate to her campaign, please do so.
