Democrat Eva Putzova mounting primary challenge to Rep. Tom O'Halleran

A former Flagstaff city councilwoman and Slovakian immigrant is focusing on the need for immigration reform as she mounts a Democratic primary challenge to Rep. Tom O'Halleran in Arizona's 1st Congressional District.

Eva Putzova, 41, came to the United States from Slovakia in 2000 and became a U.S. citizen in 2007.

It took that long, Putzova said, because of a broken immigration system that she says sets applicants up to fail.

“I saw a lot of disrespect, especially for people of color, during the procedures,” Putzova said. “I saw how officers treated people who came from Mexico and Central America, it was a lot of disrespect. And I think we are better than that.”

1. No

O'Halleran is a solid Democrat who is fairly safe in his seat. She would be beatable in the general.
