Democrat Fred DuVal was pressing the fllesh at Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild State of the City speech last month.

Democrat Fred DuVal, who is running for governor in 2014, is expected to announce today that he’s been endorsed by former Arizona governors Raul Castro, Rose Mofford and Bruce Babbitt.
