AZ: Independents Crowding Out Democrats and Republicans in State House Race

From the Tucson Citizen:

The State Senate race in midtown LD 28 is heating up but now has more Independents running than Democrats or Republicans. I’ve reported on this race briefly before (click here), but here’s the latest surprise.  Former state rep. Ted Downing has changed his party affiliation on the Secretary of State’s website from Democrat to Independent . . . Meanwhile, Dave Ewoldt has filed in that same office as an Independent as well. Dave was the campaign manager for Green candidate Dave Croteau for Mayor in 2007 and has been active in the Green Party.
