I won the No Labels Party primary without getting a single vote in Pima County—which last week asked me to approve how the September 23 Pima County ballot looks.

Candidates in parties not entitled to continuous representation on the ballot (currently the Greens and No Labels) need a plurality of the vote to win a primary. Write-in votes cast for anyone not registered with the state as a write-in candidate are invalid and discarded.

So thanks to one voter in Pirtleville in Cochise County, I received 100% of the vote and will be the first No Labels Party primary winner and be on the ballot alongside Grijalva, Butierez and Quintana on your special general election ballot.

Democracy triumphs!

They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” I disagree when it comes to PIOs, and would correct to “reading your newsletter every day and bothering to ask for a correction is the sincerest form of flattery.”

And on that note, good morning Mark 😘

Do you have an update on Justine Wadsack’s case against the city? The hearing with Judge Zipps disappeared from the court schedule on Tuesday. Did Wadsack drop the case?
