Barber lost a squeaker to McSally in 14, but I'm not sure he'll be back.

It used to be Gabbys district. She isn't able to serve. I don't think Mark Kelly
has political ambitions. Ron Barber? Maybe. I voted for him twice.
Not much cookin' in this district.

I was told by a senior Dem in the area that Barber was only appointed to the seat on the condition that he wouldn't run but he broke his word.

He was a terrible candidate.

Heinz only lost 56 43 but Clinton won the district.

Kelly keeps the door open for a run. If he ran he would win in a landslide. Giffords is also a possibility, from 2015

Lately, there has been speculation that one or both of them could run for political office.

"You never say never," said Kelly, who has flown four space shuttle missions. "It's not something I have planned. You know, right circumstances, I might consider it."

When asked if she will ever run for office again, Giffords replied, "Maybe."

Giffords was just starting her third term in Congress in 2011 when, during a meeting with constituents at a Safeway supermarket parking lot in Tucson, a gunman opened fire. Six people were killed and 12 others were also injured. Giffords was left with a bullet in her brain.
