I am a resident of Southern AZ and will never forget that horrible day. Gabby was a wonderful congresswoman to all of her constituents, Democrat and Republican. Mark Kelly has been such a devoted husband, a true example of leadership we need back in Washington.

(9,426 posts)make a fine president. Brains, integrity, honesty and valor. He would be terrific. Unlike the gop, we democratic voters do not scrape the bottom of the slime barrel to elect a president to represent us.

I'm miles away from Arizona but I just made a contribution.
