Arizona: Three South Tucson recalls make the August 5th ballot, lead petitioner is councilmember/former Mayor (and former recall loser)

Recall Elections against South Tucson City Council members Roxanna Valenzuela, Brian Flagg and Cesar Aguirre has been set for August 5th. The recall was originally over claims that Valenzuela does not meet the residency requirement and the other two helped cover it up, though it seems other issues about ignoring the lead petitioner have cropped up. 

The leader of the recall effort is current councilmember and former  Mayor Paul Diaz led the effort, who also has claims that they bought a motel that seems to be used by the government to put up some people (perhaps coming out of rehab) and their support for Prop. 409, a tax to fund public safety (which passed).

Diaz himself lost a recall vote in 2015 and then came back in 2018 with a recall against other councilmembers and regained the mayoralty.

Diaz got 163 signatures for Flagg, 170 for Aguirre and 173 for Valenzuela.
