'Most people think Cunningham is doing a good job representing Ward 2. So the fact that his opponent's campaign has been unable to cultivate meaningful support from Tucsonans is not surprising.'
Raising money to run for office is difficult. Council Member Paul Cunningham decided for his re-election campaign to reject contributions from PACs and special interest groups. This made it more difficult to raise money. Paul has raised nearly $40,000 from hundreds of donors.
According to recent data, a record $75,000 has been poured into the race in support of Paul’s opponent. I cannot recall that much outside money ever being spent on a city council race, let alone a primary. Paul’s opponent says she will “end homelessness” but fails to explain how she’ll do it. Meanwhile, Paul is working everyday with stakeholders to find real solutions. He also created a staff position in his office to help address this issue, regularly tours homeless encampments, and his weekly volunteer events often help those experiencing homelessness and neighborhoods adversely impacted by homelessness.
As a past Tucson Education Association president, retired TUSD teacher and longtime Ward 2 constituent, I casted my vote for Paul Cunningham and mailed in my ballot. I have been a political activist for over 45 years.
