Can Republican Senate President Tim Bee beat Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords? Can political gadfly John Kromko reverse a long losing streak at the ballot box to return to the state House of Representatives? Can Republican Al Melvin take out Pete Hershberger in the Legislative District 26 Senate race? Is Joe Sweeney really running for Congress again?
If you’re like most people, hearing those questions probably makes you wonder one thing: Who the hell are these people, and why do they keep sending me mail?
Don’t worry: Tucson Weekly is here to help.

This is a great idea. Thanks for doing it.
I need recommendations for The Central AZ Water Committee candidates. The only name I know and support is Sharon Megdal. Also, what do you know about Mark Stegeman,who is running for TUSD board? Is he qualified? Would you recommend him over Judy Burns? Thank you. Margo Gray
