Public school employees voted last week, and they've decided to strike - but leadership behind the Red for Ed movement pumped the breaks.

Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett is challenging Gov. Doug Ducey in the Republican primary for governor, setting off a surprising intraparty fight over control of the state government.
