Democratic candidate for governor David Garcia responded to a staffer's offensive tweets and to his own vague comments about a wall on the Arizona border during a debate with his two primary opponents on this weekend's "Sunday Square Off."
State Sen. Steve Farley of Tucson and non-profit executive Kelly Fryer, also of Tucson, occasionally took aim at Garcia, a former candidate for state school superintendent and the apparent front-runner in the Aug. 28 primary.
I asked Fryer to explain how she views border policy, given her rejection of border security as the overarching goal.
Farley explained why he was late to embrace the Invest in Ed ballot initiative, which would boost income taxes on top earners, and whether he specifically supports an income tax increase to fund education.
The wide-ranging debate touched on all the candidates' views on immigration, education, what keeps them up at night, and what they want each other to clarify.
