Replacing Harry
Jump to Comments
The District 17 Democratic Committee met to select their three nominees to replace Harry Mitchell. The three were picked with very little fanfare or constrenation, which should suprise anyone that has been reading the Democratic blogs lately.
- Meg Burton Cahill: Current House member and candidate for the Senate seat that Harry was planning on retiring from at the end of this year anyhow.
- Eddie Ableser: Democratic nominee for the house in 2004, and also a candidate this year. Does he keep running for the house if he’s in the senate?
- Sharon Doyle: Cahill’s treasurer for her campaigns. She has vowed not to run for re-election if she gets appointed.
I know nothing about the dynamics on the board (I have enough trouble with Pima County’s Board), so someone else will have to clue me in on what happens next.

Eddie will not run for the Senate seat. He will run for his house seat. It really is not even debatable except by those in D17 that are angry that Eddie Ableser is the “annointed one”
anything that will split Meg from Eddie is in their favor, so they have been stirring all this crap.

my guess is the Bd of Supervisors picks Doyle b/c she’s not running for anything and the Rep. supervisors don’t want help either Ableser or Cahill.

I think the PCs of 17 did a fantastic job of gauging the GOP dominated Board. Their choice make it nearly impossible for the ‘copa Supes to screw with us. They almost have to pick Boyle, which is the LD17 Dems want. Despite any of the normal discontents of intra-party politics, the PCs of 17 did a great job.
