Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will appear at a get-out-the-vote concert on Saturday, June 9 with Ron Barber, her former aide who is now running in a special election to fill the seat she vacated earlier this year. The event will be her first public appearance in Tuscon since she stepped down on January 25.

“Gabby is eager to get back home to Tucson and help get out the vote for Ron,” said Giffords’ husband Captain Mark Kelly said in a statement. “We need Ron Barber in Congress to stand up for Southern Arizonans and to help rebuild Arizona’s middle class.”

Barber faces Republican opponent Jesse Kelly in the special election on June 12.
