At age 28, Ramon Valadez is already a political veteran. He's worked for U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini, U.S. Rep. Ed Pastor and gubernatorial candidate Eddie Basha. He's currently working in the office of Pima County Supervisor Dan Eckstrom. He identifies himself as a pro-choice candidate who will focus on education issues at the Legislature.
Marilyn Venne, who has been involved in the Democratic Party, says she'll focus on legislation strengthening families. Sally Ann Gonzales has been active with the Pascua Yaqui tribe.
