(The Center Square) - Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs has a double-digit lead over U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Surprise, in Arizona’s gubernatorial general election, according to a new poll. Noble Predictive Insights released a poll on Thursday showing Hobbs leading Biggs by 13 points among Arizona likely voters: 48% to 35%. NPI CEO Mike Noble told The Center Square that it is not a surprise that Hobbs has a big lead over Biggs, given that the congressman just came out of a primary where he defeated U.S. Rep. David Schweikert, R-Scottsdale. Hobbs did not have any opponent in her primary, Noble noted. Despite the poll showing Hobbs having a big lead, Michael Beyers, a spokesperson for Hobbs’ campaign, said the race between the governor and Biggs “will be close.” “Hobbs isn't taking anything for granted. She'll continue meeting voters across the state and working across the aisle to cut taxes, eliminate medical debt for nearly 700,000 Arizonans, secure the border and protect our water,” Beyers told The Center Square. The spokesperson noted Biggs has supported “tariffs that are raising costs, and pushed a 23% sales tax on everything Arizonans buy — which is exactly why voters will reject his extreme, cost-hiking agenda in November.” The Center Square reached out to Biggs’ campaign but did not hear back before publication time. According to Noble, the race between Biggs and Hobbs “will tighten up,” noting Arizona is a battleground state. “I expect this race to get closer and to remain competitive,” he said. Among likely Republican voters, the poll showed 15% supported Hobbs, compared with 3% of likely Democratic voters backed Biggs. Noble said the Republicans who are going to vote for Hobbs are part of the GOP's moderate wing. This group of Republicans is not large enough to affect primary races, but can affect general elections, Noble explained. The poll showed 75% of likely Republican voters are backing Biggs, while 86% of likely Democratic voters are supporting Hobbs. Noble said Biggs has a base issue, which is a problem in a state where races are closely decided. The poll showed likely voters trusted Hobbs over Biggs on water issues, housing, education, economics and data centers. According to the survey, voters trusted Hobbs more than Biggs by a difference varying from 9% to 19% across these categories. The only category in which Biggs saw more voters trust him over Hobbs was immigration and border security, but only by 1 percentage point. “Historically it’s a surprise to see a Democrat ahead on economic issues,” Nobel told The Center Square. He added that it is “also telling” that Hobbs is close to Biggs in border security. Despite Hobbs leading in these categories, Noble said voters may change their minds as Election Day approaches after being inundated with campaign messaging. He pointed out that Biggs has not “had time to message.” “When one person has had the stage to talk, and the other hasn’t, that’s how you get numbers like these,” Noble said. As the race gets closer to Election Day, polling numbers will get closer, he predicted. Noble noted it is a “tough election environment for Republicans,” citing people’s frustrations with the economy and the Iran conflict. Regarding lieutenant governor choices, the poll showed only 16% of likely voters said the gubernatorial candidate’s running mate would greatly impact their vote. Because of Proposition 131, voters on Nov. 3 will vote for a governor-lieutenant governor ticket, and starting next year, Arizona will have its first lieutenant governor. Up to now, the state's second-in-command was the secretary of state. Prop. 131 was passed in 2022. Hobbs’ pick of former Mesa Mayor John Giles is helping the Democratic governor with some independent and moderate Republicans, Noble said. The poll found 35% of likely independent voters said Hobbs’ choice of Giles makes them more likely to support her. “Only time will tell if Katie Hobbs’ attempt at a bipartisan ticket will pay off,” Noble explained. “The voters who like her choice of a (former) Republican as lieutenant governor might still prefer a Republican at the top of the ticket. The poll also discovered 55% of Republican voters were more likely to vote for Biggs because of his choice for a Republican running mate, former state Sen. Sine Kerr. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.04%.

(The Center Square) – San Antonio fuel workers are the latest in Texas to oust union bosses from their workplace. Support to remove the union was so great that union officials left rather than face election defeat. Fueling employees with Allied Aviation Fueling Company of San Antonio ousted the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), District 142, from their workplace with the assistance of the National Right to Work Foundation. The foundation provides free legal aid to employees whose human or civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism. It’s the second NRWF assisted union ousting from a major workplace in Texas in two weeks. Texas is a right to work state, which prohibit unions from enforcing contracts that require employees to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. In Texas, union membership and dues payments are strictly voluntary. Despite this, under federal law in right to work and non-right to work states, union officials are allowed to impose “representation” on workers in a work unit, regardless if they want to be represented by the union. In this case, the IAM claimed AAFC employees were subject to the Railway Labor Act, which overrides worker protections against forced dues provided by state Right to Work laws. After a landmark 2019 National Labor Relations Board decision in a case won by the NRWF, workers who want to remove union officials from their place of employment can do so by submitting a majority-backed petition asking their employer to stop recognizing the union. The NLRB enforces federal labor law in the private sector and administers elections to install (certify) or remove (decertify) unions from workplaces. In the AAFC case, fuel workers who operate and maintain the fueling facilities at the San Antonio International Airport filed a petition for a decertification election earlier this month. AAFC employee Matthew Garwood led the petition, which was filed with the NLRB in Washington, D.C. The majority of fuel workers signed the petition, far surpassing the 30% threshold of signatures needed for the NLRB to schedule a decertification vote. Instead of fighting the vote, and before the vote was scheduled, IAM District 142 union bosses formally “disclaimed interest” in the bargaining unit, withdrawing their claim of monopoly bargaining powers over the workers. IAM union officials also didn’t defend their position that AAFC employees were covered by the Railway Labor Act before the NLRB. As a result, approximately 38 airline fueling workers are free to negotiate directly with their employer. “The IAM was not negotiating in our best interests,” Garwood said in a statement. “We are grateful to have regained control over our workplace after being confronted with a poorly-written contract that negatively impacted employees in multiple ways and threatened us with forced dues just to stay employed.” “Union bosses have no shortage of tricks to use when trying to maintain their stranglehold on hardworking Americans’ paychecks, but in this case, the workers of Allied Aviation made their will abundantly clear,” NRWF President Mark Mix said. “We are grateful to have assisted these workers as they exercised their rights, and especially pleased that they were able to regain their workplace so quickly. “Cases like these demonstrate why all hardworking Americans need Right to Work protections to ensure union affiliation and financial support is strictly voluntary, including those who might fall under the jurisdiction of the Railway Labor Act because they work in the railroad or airline industry.” It’s the 13th case the NRWF has won, won in part, or favorably settled in Texas since Jan. 1, 2023. Earlier this month, Texas Public Radio employees decertified the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, removing them from their workplace, The Center Square reported. NRWF also helped crude oil drivers for Sunoco Logistics Partners successfully remove United Steelworkers union bosses from their place of employment in four states, including in Texas, The Center Square reported. These cases exclude NRWF assisting Dallas-based Southwest Airlines flight attendant Charlene Carter, who sued after being discriminated against for her religious beliefs. After a nine-year legal battle, she won a $1 million judgment in April, The Center Square reported. The case is ongoing related to sanctions the judge imposed on the airline. Carter is still being forced to pay union dues 13 years after she withdrew her membership. The NRWF told The Center Square she is paying a reduced amount that excludes dues for politics since she opted out of union membership.

Le porte-avions USS George Washington est arrivé dans la zone d’opérations des États-Unis au Moyen-Orient. Il vient remplacer l’USS Abraham Lincoln, qui est en mer depuis neuf mois. Les conditions de vie des marins à bord étaient devenues l’objet de vives critiques aux États-Unis. Les familles dénonçaient des sanitaires bouchés, des rationnements alimentaires. Certaines évoquaient une hausse des tentatives de suicide. L’administration Trump a démenti ces récits. Mais l’USS Abraham Lincoln a révélé les difficultés des États-Unis à tenir leur engagement dans la durée.

The operation today resides in the hands of four esteemed managers who Carter entrusted to carry the torch.
