After they downplayed the threat of the virus and obstructed local officials from requiring masks even as Arizona’s case numbers were exploding.
“We have been in a state of crisis since Governor Ducey decided to hastily reopen the state,” says Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, who has been standing up to Ducey and is the first Latina and the first woman to be elected mayor of Tucson, and the daughter of migrant farmworkers.
