BONUS: Q&A with CD1 candidates David Schweikert and Jevin Hodge

Early voting is underway for the midterm elections. And every race matters, from the governor to the U.S. Senate, the Legislature and on down to school boards.  The Gaggle and The Arizona Republic’s political team are connecting with candidates so you can hear them make their case to voters in their words.  This is part of a series of special bonus episodes of The Gaggle throughout the voting period.  In this bonus episode we’ll hear from the two candidates running for the 1st Congressional District, which spans the northeast valley and reaches into parts of north-central Phoenix. It is a newly created district, which was mostly the 6th Congressional District before. Incumbent Republican David Schweikert is facing Democrat Jevin Hodge to represent one of Arizona’s wealthiest districts. You will hear Tara Kavaler, a politics reporter for the Arizona Republic, ask the questions to each of the candidates. First you will hear from David Schewikert, followed by Jevin Hodge.
