Resnick launches bid for US Senate in 1990s Arizona race
The report traces Resnick's political rise from a 1980 bid motivated by her ill daughter to four Arizona House terms starting in 1982 and a Senate tenure since 1990. It links her advocacy for healthcare reform to creating the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System and notes regional transit shifts in Maricopa County with a 70 percent increase in alternative transportation use since 1988. It also mentions a Tempe bookstore closure after an armed robbery and a Canyon death recorded at Grand Canyon National Park.
