Continuing my coverage of some key Arizona races ... Terry Goddard, Arizona's Democrat Attorney General is touting his campaign against Domestic Violence by using hair salons and stylists as access points ...
Terry, if you don't know, was long-time Phoenix mayor when Democrats couldn't get elected to dog catcher. He is an unabashed, fighting Democrat who took down the famous "Phoenix 40" by bringing a district system to the Phoenix city council which elected 3 Latinos and 1 African-American that year.
He became Arizona's HUD Director in the Clinton years and then got elected to Attorney General in 2002. Rumors are that he will succeed Governor Janet Napolitano in 2010.
"The CUT IT OUT Program provides us with a critical link to domestic violence victims through salon professionals. One of our biggest challenges in combating domestic violence is connecting with victims. Partnering with the cosmetology community helps to bridge that gap, and allows law enforcement to get program information to victims who are often afraid to seek out help or do not know where to turn."
