Still plenty of ballots left to count, but The Range reported earlier today that Republican Todd Clodfelter was within striking distance of state Rep. Stefanie Mach.
After more ballots were counted today, Clodfelter now leads Mach by 230 votes.
More updates as we get ’em!

Go Todd! Tucson and Arizona needs you.
What has Clodfelter ever done for Tucson? Who is this guy that has run for office every year for the past 15 years?
The last contact I had with him was when he ran a small printing operation on 22nd. street printing shirts and hats for whomever wanted to advertise their cause.
Seems like he has stepped up his printing press to flood the streets with signs on every corner. Must be working!
Like Foster, the more signs, the more name association for the voters!
Beside the cost of the signs, what does it cost to hire workers to erect the signs?
I put the “BOOT” signs up for free because I agreed with the message.
Can I get paid to put up “Dump Grijalva” signs next time?
Never mind, I’ll gladly do it for free!
Stephanie Mach has done a great job; hoping she makes it again.
If Clodfelter wins, Tucson and Pima County lose. Nice guy but doubtfully willing or strong enough to stand up to the Maricopa-centric GOP caucus in the House. His site quotes Bruce Wheeler as saying Dems are ineffective in the legislature. He doesn’t add that Bruce says nobody has less clout than a Republican from Pima County. Todd will go along to get along and we’ll have one fewer House member to represent us.
This must be from la-la land. I know Bruce Wheeler and he said the truth about a D from Pima County, and I doubt very much he said that about the Rs. The Rs from Pima County have had plenty of clout which is sorely missing these days. If the Ds forgot to show up one day in Phoenix, no one would notice, except not being able to provide the “loyal oppostion” debates which is their role in political life. Having one more Republican, dare I say the only R in the City of Tucson limits given the loss of an R in LD 2 , which is a multiple county district, will keep the City of Tucson and Pima County’s voice in the majority caucus. And that is most important, as political decisions and committee chairmen emanate from there, not from the minority caucuses.
