Tucson speaks up: Letters to the editor for the week of Dec. 5, 2025
- Updated
Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Arizona Daily Star.
- Gerald Schwartz, Foothills
A loyal writer appears to have a new hot topic. Crime. Yes, people who have been convicted of various crimes get released and then commit another crime. And it appears it is apolitical. View those pardoned by the current President. Some had prior criminal records, convicted of J6 violence, pardoned and have subsequently been charged and convicted of crimes and some serious felonies. One could spend hours researching recidivism rates of various groups. Maybe that is what our loyal friend should do in his spare time.

This country desperately needs a leader who is a hero and who is a decent person. I think that person should be Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona. I say, Mark Kelly for President.
