Martha McSally's New Battle

摘要

Arizona's 2nd congressional district has become ground zero in the battle over the fate of the Air Force's fleet of venerable A-10 attack aircraft. The Tucson-area swing district, which includes Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, is home to 93 Warthogs, more than any other base in the country.
