1. Republicans targeting 3 female legislators in recalls.

The Republican war on women in the public space continues.

One of the three female state senators is a former Republican who is now nonpartisan and caucuses with Democrats: Patricia Farley.

Another is: Joyce Woodhouse-D

The third is Nicole Cannizzarro-D

Election 2016 gave a state senate majority to Democrats and the Republican Party wants to subvert the will of the voters and regain control of the state senate.

These women rankle because they want to legislate for the benefit of the people. Therefore they are accused of such things as not being "pro-business." (translation: tend to vote for fair wages).

Another charge is being pro-felon (translation:votes for such things as criminal justice reform).

Woodhouse is a big supporter of public education and is backed by teachers union. She is being accused of the "pro-sanctuary city" stance -the latest phony charge dreamed up by Republican schemers.

I am not in Arizona so if I have facts wrong please correct me.

These recall schemes, I think, are likely to be promoted in other states also.
