"Politics Make Strange Bed-Fellows" : Who is Sean Bowie (Boo-Wee)


Appearing next week here on the same sound-stage here in Mesa on Mesa Morning Live, Swing-District LD18 Democratic Arizona State Senator Sean Bowie and LD ___ Republican Arizona State Senator Bob Worsley are part of the 'great line-up' scheduled live at 06:45 am. Are they an unlikely pair of politicians or what?
Or are they putting politics aside in a show of unity about something?

According to this Info-graphic from Arizona Capital Times posted on Twitter, Bowie and Worsley have a voting pattern in common with three other Republicans in the AZ State Legislature: Surprise, huh?
