Arizona is in the news a lot these days.
It's a battleground state in the 2020 election, of course. Recent polls have shown former Vice President Joe Biden with a narrow lead and its Senate race between Republican Sen. Martha McSally and Democratic challenger Mark Kelly is considered a toss up.
But Arizona also has the dubious mark as a state with one of the highest number of COVID-19 deaths per capita in the nation.
Ask voters like Melissa Trujillo how much of a factor the pandemic is in the election and they'll tell you, well, it's everything.
"This whole COVID thing made me realize, oh guess what, now I have a pre-existing condition," Trujillo says. An avid runner and hiker, Trujillo, 43, got infected in June and four months later she's still suffering from headaches, memory loss and fatigue.
