Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle posted a video on her website Sunday that reveals she will be resigning from office this week. This announcement comes after her first public appearance in Tuscon on the one-year anniversary of the shooting spree that killed six people and left her in critical condition. What side of the aisle her highly competitive seat will go to after the upcoming special election is unclear. Buzz Conover, senior political reporter at KUAT, Tucson’s public radio outlet, joins the program.
