SAFFORD – As the race for Congressional District 1 heats up, retired Air Force pilot Wendy Rogers (R) will make a stop in Safford on Friday, Nov. 2, just days before the election Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Rogers will be the guest speaker at the monthly Graham County Republican Party Committee meeting held at The Manor House at 415 E. U.S. Highway 70 at noon. She will also be at the same venue, starting at 6 p.m., for a meet-and-greet.

Rogers has been barnstorming the state in her airplane in her attempt to unseat incumbent Rep. Tom O’Halleran (D) AZ-1.

Her platform talking points are building a bigger border wall with Mexico, supporting President Donald J. Trump, protecting gun rights, cutting government spending, caring for our veterans and repealing the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) and Roe V. Wade, thereby making abortions illegal.

“I’m the best candidate because I served my country for 20 years,” Rogers previously told the Gila Herald during an event in August. “I have more leadership in this little finger than most candidates ever running for politics. Not only that, but I’ve been a small business owner and I still made a payroll. And those are the kinds of skills that we need in Congress today to be able to flip this seat from Democrat to Republican but also to support this president.”
