Notably, Mesa&#8217;s Republican mayor, John Giles, also endorsed Harris, emphasizing a commitment to &#8220;country over party,&#8221; a sentiment reminiscent of the\u200c values upheld by the late Senator \u2064John McCain. Additionally, some of these border \u200dmayors are supporting Rep.

The Harris campaign announced that she has received support from the mayors of Bisbee, Nogales, Somerton, and San Luis\u2014key municipalities in the southern border region. This development occurs as Republicans and former President Donald Trump attempt to attribute President Joe Biden&#8217;s border policies to Harris due to her position as &#8220;border czar&#8221; in his administration. Somerton Mayor Gerardo Anaya expressed his trust in Harris to address the needs of border communities without exploiting them for political purposes, unlike her opponent.
