(February 19) New faces: Pima County voters are going to cast their ballots this year for county supervisors in a time of “political upheaval,” the Sentinel’s Jim Nintzel writes in his rundown of county supervisors’ races. After all the changes to the makeup of the Pima County Board of Supervisors over the past few years, the longest-serving supervisor is now Steve Christy, who was elected in 2016.

(March 22) With so many local elections coming up, it can feel like a tidal wave of names and issues rushing at you. If you’re a voter in the Tucson area, you’re going to have to sort through dozens of elections for county officials, school boards, state legislators, Congress, the Arizona Corporation Commission, and a U.S. senator. Not to mention all the ballot measures coming from the state Legislature and the special election in Tucson for a sales tax. That’s a lot to deal with, right? It’s easy to get overwhelmed or burn out on the whole thing. That’s where we come in. We’ve done all this before and we’re excited to do it again. (Tucson Agenda)
(April 4) Guideposts ahead: The Tucson Sentinel’s Jim Nintzel lays out who made the ballot in this year’s local elections. Candidates had to turn in signatures on Monday to make it on the ballot, and some of them fell short. The Sentinel is launching their election guide with details about local candidates and the dynamics of local races, as well as their mission for covering the elections.
(April 22) The fundraising powerhouses are emerging in the races for Pima County offices and local legislative seats. We now have the first round of campaign finance reports since the official slate of candidates was set earlier this month. So this is our first look into which of the people who will actually be on the ballot are separating from the pack and which ones are falling behind, along with which races are drawing the most money.

(May 14) Going to the candidates’ debate: Debate season is off and running. The Tucson Sentinel gives a rundown of what’s coming up in a series of debates put on by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission and the Arizona Media Association. There are a lot of them, so voters should have ample opportunity to get to know the candidates for local, state, and federal offices. The debates will be recorded and available on the Cleans Elections website and elsewhere.
