Thanks to all your hard work and support, we won a resounding victory in the District 28 State House Democratic Primary yesterday. Voter turnout was 52.7%, a bigger turnout that we have seen in an LD28 primary for at least ten years–and you helped turn out that vote.

Our dedicated Farley volunteers managed to cover on foot more than two-thirds of the precincts in the district in the last three weeks alone, making that personal voter contact that makes the difference.

The final official results are:

Steve Farley: 8715 votes (33.14%)
David Bradley: 8675 votes (32.99%)
Matt Heinz: 6075 votes (23.10%)
Ted Prezelski: 2758 votes (10.49%)

Since the two top vote-getters win the party nomination, that means that David Bradley and I will have the honor to represent the Democratic Party on the November 7 general election ballot.

I do want to congratulate Matt and Ted for having run a couple of very strong campaigns, and I hope both of them stay involved in Tucson politics. It was a distinct pleasure to run with three other people who are so intelligent, articulate, and passionate, and it was too bad that all four of us couldn’t win.

So now, on to November, and then on to make a real difference in the Arizona State Legislature, with your help.
