| Description | It appears increasingly likely that Ron Barber, who has served as the district director for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords since her election in 2006, will enter the race to finish out her term in Congressional District 8.
"I would be shocked if we didn’t hear an announcement soon that Barber is running for the interim position and that Team Giffords doesn’t endorse him in that run," says Jeff Rogers, chairman of the Pima County Democratic Party.
The 66-year-old Barber, who was nearly killed after being shot twice on Jan. 8, is not likely to run for the new Congressional District 2 later this year.
Barber's entry into the race will likely clear the Democratic field, with aspiring candidates now free to build campaigns to battle it out in the Democratic primary for the new Congressional District 2 seat. |
