We're thrilled to announce that Kirsten has officially been endorsed by EMILY'S List!
EMILY'S List is the nation’s largest resource for Democratic pro-choice women in politics — and Kirsten is the very first challenger that they've endorsed this cycle.
Here's what that means: no one is more qualified or prepared to flip AZ-06 blue than Kirsten Engel, and national Democratic groups are taking notice.
This is what Laphonza Butler, President of EMILY's List, had to say about Kirsten:
“Kirsten Engel knows what it takes to stand up to anti-choice extremism and fight for the rights of Arizonans — she did it in the state House and state Senate, and now, she’s running to continue that work in Congress. Engel has also been a leader in the critical efforts to reverse the impacts of climate change and help make our schools the best they can be. She’s never backed down in the face of challenges from radical Republicans. Since her opponent, Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani, will keep doing everything he can do to restrict our reproductive freedom, it is absolutely critical that we support Engel’s campaign and take back this seat so that the residents of Arizona’s 6th Congressional District have a representative who is truly a champion for their rights.”
She's right: Kirsten is an unapologetic champion for abortion rights, education, climate action, and working families. She will always put Southern Arizona first.
Kirsten is a mom, an environmental attorney, and a former State Legislator who has spent the past six years fighting to restore funding to public schools, protect Arizona's natural resources, and make our communities safer.
She’s ready to take that fight to Washington to find common-sense solutions to the challenges we’re facing here in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
