Steve Farley: Take down racist Confederate statues

Asked if the state's Confederate monuments should be removed Farley was direct in his answer: "Those Confederate monuments need to go now. They are not monuments in history, they are monuments to a moment in our history: they're celebrating the accomplishments of racists." Farley [said] Ducey should call an emergency meeting of the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission and direct them to take down the monuments, "not punt, the way he's done."

Deedra Abboud: Equal pay for equal work, and paid sick leave

[Asked about women in the workplace], Abboud said she is "ready to fight for equal pay for women."

"Because I am a woman and I have experienced getting paid less than my male colleagues," she said. "I'm ready to make sure that working families have paid sick leave so they can take care of themselves and those they love."
