Progressive Raquel Terán is the new chair of Arizona’s Democratic Party. What does that mean for voters?

The Arizona Democratic and Republican parties held elections on
Jan. 23 to elect their party chair. During an in-person meeting
that was largely closed to the media, the Arizona GOP narrowly
re-elected the fractious Kelli Ward as its leader. Democrats opted
to vote for a new chair in a virtual meeting,
electing Raquel Terán overwhelmingly with 75% of the vote.
Terán is the state representative for Legislative District 30
in the metro Phoenix area. And she's a self-identified progressive
with roots in community organizing. As Democratic chair, Terán will
oversee the state's party platform and work to gain Democratic wins
up and down the ballot ahead of 2022, as well as fundraise for
the party and recruit candidates.  In this week's episode of
The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett
Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen are joined by the newly-elected Terán.
She will break down the future of the party in Arizona, including
questions about how progressive party's agenda will be in coming
years.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
