          • Frank Montez, East side

          I did my due diligence. Read about Proposition 421. Read for and against. I am voting for proposition 421. This is finalized due to Kevin Dahl! Kevin Dahl is not in my city council district however he sent me a card praising my last letter to the editor. I have also read so many letters to t…

          Letter: 2026 ballot measures

          Letter: 2026 ballot measures

          • Stephen Yozwiak, Northwest side

          In recent years, it’s been easy to recommend which statewide ballot referendums from the Arizona Legislature should pass or fail. Because of the special interests who often control the state House and Senate, it was easy to “Just Say No.”

          Letter: The grand old cottonwoods

          • Joe Gardner, East side

          There have been many news articles and letters to the editor regarding the Lochiel cottonwoods, I was born and raised in the San Rafael Valley and lived in Lochiel the first 16 years if my life. My ancestors have lived in the area since the 1850s. If not for my physical limitations, I would …

            • David Blevins, Southeast side

            As a patient at the Tucson VA hospital it was by chance that Congressman Ciscomani heard of my delay in getting care. He immediately instructed his staff to get it resolved for my urgent assistance in getting my needed care. It was handled within an hour and I was transfered the next day. He…

            Letter: The rubber stamp

            • William Garrity, Foothills

            Juan Ciscomani claims he's no rubber stamp. Odd claim from someone who voted 100% of the time for the Trump agenda. Interest on the national debt is now 19% of all taxes collected. Juan where do you intend to cut costs and raise revenue? Or do nothing and let the dollar collapse? So far you …

            Letter: Ciscomani Has Put in a Ton of Work for AZ-06!

              A lot of people say this election will be a referendum on President Trump. I see it differently. To me, it’s about who has actually done the work for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District.

              Letter: More misleading ads

              Letter: More misleading ads

                The new misleading ads against Jo Mendoza are almost funny. Supposedly she wants to tax everything from diapers to popcorn. The legislature decides what to tax (and sales taxes cover most everything). If you want to be angry you must be angry against them all. It is said she wants to pay for…

                      AI is changing motherhood for the worse | Abby McCloskey

                        Recent books and studies have begun to highlight the risks that artificial intelligence poses to children. This is a good thing. Maybe we’re collectively realizing that we shouldn’t wait a decade after a new technology emerges — as we did with social media — before sounding the alarm.

                          Nearly two years into his role as secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has yet to leave his old job as a Fox News host behind. His recent “State of the Force” address at the Quantico military base in Virginia demonstrated again that he’s more interested in fighting a culture war and delivering…

                          I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                          A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
