"This poll speaks to the momentum and support Martha has been receiving from around the district", said campaign manager Bruce Harvie, "voters of the 2nd Congressional District are ready for a change from the same old Washington policies that Barber supports, and they want a strong independent leader like Martha McSally fighting for them in Washington."
