Downing one of two Democratic candidates vying for
University of Arizona Professor Ted Downing won one of two spots on November's Democratic ticket last night for state legislative District 13.
The final numbers put him second only to Gabrielle Giffords, with Downing coming in at 50 percent and Giffords receiving 55 percent of the votes with 93 percent of precincts reporting last night.
"I'm feeling good," Downing said as the results came in. "Gabbi and I are leading by a substantial margin. I am now an official Democrat candidate, and the first campaign finance reform candidate in this district."
Growth initiative and campaign finance reform are the two main issues Downing has campaigned on, which he said has helped him win the nomination.
