Working To Elect Veterans To Congress — From Both Sides Of The Aisle

Wednesday was the deadline for candidates to file their petition signatures for Arizona’s August primary. Across the country, more and more of those candidates are military veterans.

The group With Honor said it’s seen a huge increase in veterans running for Congress — both Republicans and Democrats.

Alex Johnson, the group’s Republican political director, joined The Show to talk more about this topic.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
