SCOTTSDALE, Arizona—The highly educated people of Phoenix’s northeastern suburbs have long been represented by one of their own, a bona fide nerd.
So will voters in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District really pull the lever for a true jock, one who just so happens to be Tom Brady’s former college roommate?
I am no economist, but it seems two things that would help bring prices down would be 1) stopping this war with Iran and 2) ending pretty much every tariff.
Re tariffs: I would propose ending every one and then making an argument why any one of them should be reinstated.
I have lived in this District for 35 years, and have always voted for the GOP candidate.
Not this year.
As long as the Dem candidate is not a DSA type socialist, I will vote for them.
After watching the Republicans in Congress the last two years, I believe they need a wake up call.
Congress is a co-equal branch of the Government.
They are not the Duma.
I intend to do my part in sending that message.
Has anyone asked him who won the 2020 election?
I know it was ages ago.
It still matters to me where Republican candidates stand on this issue.
I live in this district.
It leans Republican but a lot of the 1st District race will depend on who the exact nominees are.
Raider, we're probably neighbors.
I'm seeing a lot of enthusiasm from Team Blue in my neighborhood.
I hope he scores electoral touchdown!
'...more than 60 percent of constituents have a college degree or higher.'
Don't mean to be picky but this falls below the standards I've come to expect from TD writing.
What is 'higher' than a 'college degree?'
A doctorate or some other higher degree that requires getting a college degree first.
Multiple college degrees, if you like.
But, a doctorate is still a college degree.
My criticism is that phrase is meaningless unless the writer is clearer.
If it was undergraduate degree or higher, or (fill in the blank but not doctorate) degree or higher, that would have been better.
