O'Rourke pledges gun control, marijuana legalization during Tucson campaign visit
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke spent the afternoon in midtown Tucson, promising to fix America's broken healthcare system, to legalize marijuana nationwide, and to act on gun control in his first 100 days in office.
The three-term Congressman spent more than an hour at Gentle Ben's Brewing Company Sunday near the University of Arizona campus, talking to more than 100 supporters that crowded into the second floor of the popular brewery.
The first Presidential candidate to visit Tucson as part of the 2020 campaign, O'Rourke, is best known for challenging Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for his seat in Texas last year. O'Rourke is one of 19 people running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
O'Rourke talked about the El Paso Walmart mass shooting in August that killed 22, placing the blame on President Trump for dangerous rhetoric.
