Carmona talks immigration, foreign policy and women's issues with Gilman and I

Above is a video of an interview videographer Dennis Gilman and I did with former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, now a candidate for the U.S. Senate. The interview took place at the state Democrats' winter meeting in Tucson.

Carmona's appearance at that meeting and his bid for the Democratic nomination were the subject of my recent column, "Richard Carmona Promises AZ Dems a U.S. Senate Seat."

Attorney and ex-Arizona Democratic Party chair Don Bivens is also vying to be the Dems' primary pick. Republican U.S. Senator Jon Kyl is vacating the seat.

Republican Congressman Jeff Flake and businessman Wil Cardon are the main contenders for the GOP nod.
