For Star subscribers: The independents running for Tucson mayor disagree on whether there's only room for one of them.

Two independents have filed papers with the city to run for mayor of Tucson.

In the general election, Romero won 56% of the vote to Ackerley's 39% and Green Party candidate Mike Cease's 4%. "It’s going to have to be like an unofficial primary," Yentzer said."We’re both in it early. Let’s see who has the most juice in the tank." Both Ackerley and Yentzer also lamented the polarization of local politics and what they see as the importation of national conflicts into local political discussion. They said they'd try to focus strictly on solving Tucson problems.

So on Thursday morning Kelly and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and other politicos were at an unlikely site for a news conference: a lot across the street from Tucson's Union Pacific rail yard with a clear view of the East 22nd Street bridge that crosses it. "Let me say it wasn’t easy," he went on."I find it’s so important to do things in a bipartisan way. That’s not always the easy way. But the results, I’m convinced, are always much better for the American people."
