                              A note to readers

                              A note to readers

                              To our readers:

                              Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                              Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                              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.

                              Arizona Daily Star Editorial: New tactic to come after public lands must be stopped

                              Arizona Daily Star Editorial: New tactic to come after public lands must be stopped

                              Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.

                              Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                              Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                              The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.

                              Local opinion: Arizona Corporation Commission elections are critical to electricity cost

                              Local opinion: Arizona Corporation Commission elections are critical to electricity cost

                              As Tucson faces another scorching summer, this opinion argues that rising TEP rates, utility profits and Arizona Corporation Commission elections are closely connected — and says voters should pay closer attention to the officials who regulate electric companies.

                              Arizona opinion: Arizona counties making it harder to vote in Spanish

                              Arizona opinion: Arizona counties making it harder to vote in Spanish

                              Arizona voters in several counties will no longer receive printed Spanish-language ballots, this opinion argues, raising concerns about language access and voting accessibility for Spanish-speaking and tribal communities ahead of future elections.

                              Terry Bracy: Reclaiming democracy begins with confronting concentrated power

                              Terry Bracy: Reclaiming democracy begins with confronting concentrated power

                              As billionaires wield growing political influence, this opinion argues that restoring public trust in government will require more than winning elections. The author points to antitrust history, the New Deal and recent Supreme Court rulings as central to the debate over America's democratic future.

                              Local opinion: Diversity strengthens America, not weakens it

                              Local opinion: Diversity strengthens America, not weakens it

                              The Trump administration's efforts to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs threaten equal opportunity and distort American history, this opinion argues, saying the nation's diversity has long been one of its greatest strengths.
