    " Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. She knows first hand what is needed in Arizona.
    Her opponent, Jesse Kelly was born in Ohio and went to school in Montana and graduated from high school in Montana. That is a big difference.
    I think Giffords should be re-elected. "

    " Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has done a tremendous job for our district. She is hardworking and knows what she is talking about because she always studies the issues and does what is best for Arizona and our area. She has the experience and the determination to pass good legislation. She will never resort to shouting down people who don't agree with her. She is a good listener. She should be re-elected. "
