Republican Kevin Cavanaugh jumps into CD1 race
A former deputy chief in the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has traded in his badge in the hopes of securing a congressional lapel pin.
Kevin Cavanaugh has spent the last few months criss-crossing the vast Congressional District 1 to secure support from Republicans for his run in next year’s midterm elections.
He got into the race early, he said, because he realized the same group of candidates who had failed to turn CD1 red in the last two election cycles were unlikely to beat his would-be Democratic rival, Rep. Tom O’Halleran, who now represents the district that stretches from north of Tucson to Flagstaff.
