In a surprise announcement, the Arizona Daily Star reports Ron Barber (D), the long time district director for former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), said he would run for office in Arizona’s newly-drawn 2nd congressional district later this year.
Barber is already running to complete his former boss’ term in the 8th congressional district special election to be held on June 12. He is a survivor of the January 8, 2011 shooting in Tucson which also injured Giffords.
