Now is when your voice is needed the most. Now is when we need to reaffirm the mandate on public land protections and honor tribal sovereignty.
The current attacks on the U.S. system of scientific research will have real and debilitating consequences for our nation and its international position that will not be easily turned around if they are allowed to continue.
We deserve leaders who protect access to healthcare, not jeopardize it. In November 2026, voters in District 6 should remember who showed up for their health and who voted to take it away.
The concept of "water positive" is an oxymoron. It's especially important for that to be understood here in the desert. It's not possible for Project Blue or anyone else to create more water here.
Adelita Grijalva’s journey has been one of hard work, dedication, and a genuine desire to serve. Her credentials are not inherited by association; they are earned through years of public service and community engagement.
Let’s give this opportunity the careful and thorough consideration it deserves and insist the developer do things the Tucson way. If they can, if they will – we should all be for it.Â
I carry with me the lesson my grandmother always taught me: pon tu granito de arena, put in your grain of sand. It means that every effort counts, that change is built grain by grain, person by person, moment by moment.

Our nation’s paltry federal minimum wage of just $7.25 an hour is rightly criticized as far too little to sustain a worker, let alone a family.
After the House of Representatives passed its “big beautiful bill" of goods, I went to dinner at a favorite restaurant in Philadelphia. I know the people there. They are friendly, hardworking and allow me to speak Italian with them.

Call and email your legislators to let them know that access to medical care is essential, and a priority. Our democracy depends on us telling our policy makers what is and isn't working for us.
Miranda Schubert is the systems thinking, engaged, policy-nerd candidate for Ward 6 that will represent her constituents as friends, neighbors, and valuable collaborators to continue the work of creating a Tucson for everyone.
Your story and your mind are unique, so try to show empathy toward others because everyone is connected in that way.
Anyone can say they’ll fight — but not everyone has a record of doing it when the stakes are real. The voters deserve a representative with a proven track record of fighting for progressive values.
We may lose a battle here or there, but we always manage to pull together as one and to make whatever sacrifices may be necessary to prevail for better days.Â
Leadership is not brand management; it is earned through trust and conviction. While Deja Foxx may represent a demographic, she does not represent us.

The Star’s balance between conservative and progressive articles is not based on simple addition. Currently, conservatives have nothing to write about. Conservatives, please tell me your views about Why the big beautiful bill is good? Why are tariffs good? Why are FEMA layoffs/cuts good? Why…
Although some may believe that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a fantasy, the actual fact indicates otherwise. The hatred for Trump has resulted in near insanity for those affected. Instead of realistically evaluating current actions and policies, the mantra has been criticism, name calling, c…
George Larsen believes the Star is "in the pocket of the left," thereby ignoring an alternate viewpoint. I wonder if he has considered that MAGA contributors simply are unable, or are unwilling, to provide more editorial opinions. I personally don't believe the Star is suppressing right-wing…
President Trump's response to Brazil in imposing a staggering 50% tariff reminds me of Will Smith's great line in Men in Black: "Big bad bug gotta soft spot!" Apparently, Mr. Trump's soft spot is for former Brazilian president and would-be dictator Bolsonaro, who is charged with trying to ov…
