Democrats Say They Are Primed to Capture Arizona Voters

Arizona has long been a conservative stronghold, but Democrats say this is the year for change. Republicans hold the majority when it comes to registered voters, followed by independents and then Democrats.

Those numbers are not daunting to the chair of the Arizona Democratic Party,Felecia Rotellini.

Arizona 360 host spoke to Rotellini recently during her tour in Southern Arizona.

“Arizona values are the values that democratic candidates are fighting for — affordable health care, a good public education system, so every kid has the shot at the American dream. Protect social security and medicare and medicaid.”

Rotellini further detailed how they have the midterm backlash in favor of the Democrats and a surge of engagement following the presidential election.
