US House Dem Whip Hoyer in Tucson for Giffords

TUCSON -- Steny Hoyer, US House Democratic Whip (MD), was in Tucson today campaigning for Gabrielle Giffords.

He and Gabby stopped by her campaign HQ around 2:30pm to thank staff and volunteers. Hoyer then headed to Phoenix to campaign for Harry Mitchell.

Sen. John Edwards will campaign tomorrow in Tucson for Gabrielle and other dems.

House Dem Leader Nancy Pelosi was recently here with Congressman Grijalva.

These important visits from national leaders show Tucson and Arizona are on the map as critical places to help change the corruption in Washington. That's good for the nation and Arizona.

This big time support also shows again what a true rising star Giffords is on the political stage.
