Ruben Gallego, who is hoping to win her seat in 2024.Sinema, who has not said whether she will seek a second term, still had a formidable $10 million in her bank account at the end of March, including money she’s raised in the four years since her last campaign. Gallego had $2.7 million at the end of the quarter.The senator’s fundraising is closely watched for clues about her plans and how she might finance a difficult three-way race as an independent. Sinema and her aides insist she is focused on her job as a senator and isn’t thinking about a potential reelection campaign.The Arizona Senate race is one of a handful that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate in 2024. Democrats currently have a 51-49 edge and face a tough path to maintaining their...

Briefly Damp, Dry Again

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:22:00 GMT

Even tho we had quite a cloudy, cool, raw, drizzly day still a great Patriot’s Day/Marathon Monday. I’m sure the runners would much prefer today’s weather over the record heat we had last week! As for the rain, it was caused by an area of Low Pressure way out west in Michigan but was/is able to exert its influence on our weather with the clouds, drizzle and fog. Even tho it appeared to rain the entire day, most towns only picked up around 0.10″ of rain or less!When you look at the month of April, 7 of the 17 days have featured some sort of rain occurring (rain, drizzle, mist)But when you take a closer look at those “green squares”, days with rain, you see this…Not much meaningful rainfall so far this month. Moving forward, I think we are dry for the rest of the week until perhaps Sunday. Tomorrow is brighter than today but not a brilliant sunshine-y day either…We’ll start with sunshine during the early morning hours and then see ...
