In Arizona, the biggest loser on Tuesday night wasn’t Donald Trump or Martha McSally. Rather, it was the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Chamber has long controlled the levers of power in this state. Glenn Hamer, the Chamber’s CEO, is Gov. Doug Ducey’s biggest cheerleader. By most accounts, he’s also the most influential voice in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
But as the demographics shift in our state, and in particular in Maricopa County, the Chamber has found itself in the uncomfortable position of playing defense during campaign season.
