Thank you for the vote of confidence! On Tuesday, November 6, Tucson voters overwhelmingly endorsed my campaign and goals for our community. I humbly accept the challenge to tackle the issues with great energy. We live here because of the beautiful Sonoran desert, the mountains and the people and culture. Let’s work together to continue Tucson’s reputation as the best place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
Muchas gracias to the volunteers and campaign team that helped me get this far and to Rodney Glassman and Vice Mayor Shirley Scott for being so positive on the campaign trail. I am forever grateful.
The swearing-in ceremony for new City Council candidates will be held December 3 at 10 a.m. at the Fox Theater, located at 17 W. Congress Street downtown. The event is free and open to everyone. Please bring a friend!
Yours truly,
Regina Romero

As our city continues to grow, demands on our human, fiscal and natural resources are increasing. To meet these demands, we must invest in services to our families, be more accountable and efficient in the use of our tax dollars, and protect our desert environment and urban neighborhoods through sound planning. Our campaign is focusing on:
- Securing funds for our neighborhoods and parks
- Safe and secure streets
- Investing in seniors, children and youth
- A downtown for ALL OF US
- Accountable use of our tax dollars
We have many challenges before us, but together we can create a brighter future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. Please contact me with your issues or concerns.

Primary Election!!
I am honored and humbled that the voters of Ward I selected me to voice their issues on the City Council. I firmly believe that this campaign was won when the Vote-by-Mail began over the summer; when our volunteers were toiling in the desert heat, walking every neighborhood, knocking on voter's doors and putting up signs. For all your dedication and hard work, I am forever greateful.
Romero brings devotion to city's challenges - Arizona Daily Star

A letter from Congressman
Raúl M. Grijalva
It is my hope that you will consider supporting Ms. Regina Romero for Tucson City Council. Regina is a valued friend, a tireless campaign volunteer and an exceptionally well-prepared candidate. She is currently a candidate for the Ward 1 Council seat and I believe that she represents a needed change in our future political leadership; a change that empowers women and brings into focus issues that have been pushed to the sidelines too long.
