TUCSON - Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA) proudly announces the election victories of Mayor Regina Romero and Councilwoman Lane Santa Cruz in Last night's Tucson municipal primary election. The election of the pair of community-centered advocates marks a significant milestone in efforts to advance progressive leadership and champion the priorities of working families and marginalized neighborhoods. For years, Tucson has served as a model of progressive policy and co-governance, and it is becoming more evident that the road to the President’s 270 electoral votes will run right through Tucson, Arizona, as a battleground city.
Mayor Regina Romero's Primary Election Victory:
Living United for Change in Arizona is thrilled to celebrate yesterday’s victory of Mayor Regina Romero in the municipal primary. Her exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to building a climate-resilient city and championing a more equitable public transit system have resonated strongly with the people of Tucson.

Her dedication to clean energy initiatives, sustainable infrastructure, and smart urban planning has set a strong foundation for a greener future and sustainable economic growth for the city.
In addition to her focus on climate action, Mayor Romero spearheaded the creation of an equitable public transit system, addressing barriers and ensuring that every individual, regardless of their socio-economic background, has access to reliable and affordable transportation. Mayor Romero’s commitment fosters a more inclusive and connected community, providing access to education, employment, healthcare, and essential services for all Tucsonans.
