Perception is "Arizona is turning blue." It's not. Maricopa County, home to 6/10 votes in AZ, is turning blue. Let's look at Maricopa countywide races... (thread)
#12News #BattlegroundAZ
MARICOPA COUNTY BOARD 5-member board has had just 1 Dem for decades.
➡️ @JevinforAZ on track to be 2nd Dem & 1st African American on board
➡️Dem Whitney Walker giving veteran GOP Supe Bill Gates huge scare. Down 489 votes. Would be 2nd African-American supe & give Dems majority.
MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF Dem Paul Penzone ousted Joe Arpaio 4 years ago. Trounced Arpaio & now Arpaio's top deputy. Penzone is 1st countywide candidate to break 1 million votes.
MARICOPA COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT Not a high-profile office, but Democrat Jeanne Casteen appears on track to end GOP grip.
MARICOPA COUNTY RECORDER In 2016, Dem Adrian Fontes ended GOP's decades-long hold on top elections office. He was targeted by GOP this yr. Appears Fontes will survive vs political newcomer Stephen Richer.
AND AT TOP OF BALLOT
⬆️Biden would be 1st Democrat to win Maricopa County in 72 years.
⬆️ Kelly is 2nd Democrat in 2 years to win Maricopa, after @SenatorSinema in '18. (end)
