Copper Area News publishes article, "Democratic wave reshapes Arizona politics; LD7 remains Republican," mentioning candidate for state representative Richard Grayson

Today, Wednesday, November 11, 2002, the Copper Area News, a shared digital hub for three community print newspapers, including the Superior Sun, published an article, "Democratic wave reshapes Arizona politics; LD7 remains Republican," mentioning candidate for state representative Richard Grayson:

The statewide shift did not extend to Legislative District 7, which includes Superior. Superior resident Mike Montiel received 39.52% of the vote in the earlier returns provided at press time but fell short against incumbent Republican Sen. Wendy Rogers. Republicans Walt Blackman and David Cook won the district’s two House seats, keeping all three LD7 legislative positions in Republican hands.

Blackman and Cook finished ahead of Democrat Samuel Martin and Green Party candidate Richard Grayson. The outcome underscored the contrast between LD7 and the broader Democratic gains across Arizona.
