From what I understand, she is running a local race focused on local issues. The issue with teachers may help her, as will Hispanics in the district getting registered to vote. One of the issues that I have seen mentioned about Arizona is that Hispanics there have a pretty poor voting record, if they are registered and show up, the big republican old registration advantage gets whittled down and it boils down to convincing a few republicans that are turned off by their party.
