ABA Compliance Schools Spring 2019 Session March 30 – April 5, 2019 Tucson, AZ Register Today: aba.com/CS2 Lindblom in LD12 and State Rep. Michelle Ugenti-Rita (R-Scotts- dale) beat former DES Director Tim Jeffries in the LD23 Republi - can primary. Now that the general election field is set, what are some of the more interesting match-ups to watch? Will 2018 indeed be the year of the “blue wave?” To be sure, all eyes will be on the U.S. Senate race. The Governor’s race should also be exciting, even if many observers are confident Gov. Du - cey will win a second term. The race for Secretary of State may well be a close one, with Senate Democratic Leader Katie Hobbs (D-Phoenix) facing off against well-funded upstart Steve Gaynor. In the fight for control of the State Legislature, no race will be more closely-watched than the LD28 faceoff between incumbent State Senator Kate Brophy-McGee and 2016 Teacher of the Year Chris - tine Marsh. LD28 is the most competitive legislative district in Arizona and both sides are plan- ning on spending a lot of money on their candidate. Other key races include: incumbent Senator Sylvia Allen (R-Snowflake) vs Holbrook Vice-Mayor Wade Car- lisle in LD6, incumbent Senator Sean Bowie (D-Ahwatukee) in a rematch against Frank Schmuck in LD18 and current House Speak- er J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler) against Democrat Steve Weichert in for the LD17 Senate Seat. So what will happen on Election Day? Right now, that’s anyone’s guess, but one thing we know for sure – you can bank on an excit- ing election season. w
