| Senator Jerry Lewis Takes the Oath of Office |
| In the aftermath of a historic recall election in District 18 of the city of Mesa, Arizona, Russell Pearce -who was considered the most powerful politician in the state- received an astonishing, humiliating defeat that put him out of his job as senator and president of the Senate. Emerging from the shadows and unknown to the majority, 55 year-old Jerry Lewis, a soft-spoken and smiling assistant school superintendent became a political sensation as he went to win the recall election with a simple message of a "fresh voice" and "civil tone" that appealed to the majority of voters. His priority is not immigration but education, economic recovery, jobs and to change the image of the city of Mesa and Arizona. Photos by Eduardo Barraza |
