The year of living dangerously: Close calls & public unrest defined 2025 in Tucson politics
Authoritarianism roared in at the start of the year and seems to be petering out at its end. We faced hostile federal takeovers, the death of at least one legend, close calls in local government and some genuine missed steps. Through it all, the people let their voices be heard. The year of uncertainty and public unrest in Tucson politics marked a year that saw several high-profile incidents, including the dismissal of executive director Farhad Moghimi and the death of legendary legend Kirk Kirk. The author reflects on the year that included hostile federal takeovers, threats to civil liberties, and missed steps in local government. He praises the Vail Unified School District Governing Board for focusing on student learning and planning, rather than outside politics. The worst decision by local government was to abandon Project Blue, a $3.6 billion data center project that was supposed to add to the tax rolls and employment base, which resulted in backlash from the public. Despite this, the author notes that democracy is in a much better shape now than a year ago and that democracy seems to be on the rise.
