Former State Legislator Cal Holman was killed yesterday in a horrific car crash. He was 76.

The crash involved two men who were likely racing at speeds exceeding 70 mph. Both men were arrested and have been charged with 2nd degree murder.

Cal was still very active in Republican party politics particularly in North Phoenix and Scottsdale. He served in the Arizona Legislature from 1975-1985.

On behalf of the writers of Sonoran Alliance, I’d like to express our deepest prayers and condolences to his family. He will be missed.
