The intern who helped save former US Rep. Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords in the minutes after she was critically wounded in a 2011 shooting is running to represent her old Arizona district in Congress.
Arizona Democratic state Rep. Daniel Hernandez announced his bid Thursday to represent Arizona's 2nd Congressional District. Hernandez joins a growing competitive Democratic primary set for August 2022 that includes fellow state House Rep. Randy Friese, a Navy veteran and trauma surgeon who operated on Giffords and others injured in the shooting, and Arizona state Sen. Kirsten Engel, a University of Arizona environmental law professor.
