Team — When we saw this, we were at a loss for words.

"Arizona Republican refers to Black Americans as 'colored people' in House floor debate"
“My amendment has nothing to do with whether or not colored people or Black people or anybody can serve,” said Crane, who is in his first term. “It has nothing to do with any of that stuff.”

While speaking in support of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to limit efforts to diversify our armed forces, Crane referred to Black servicemembers as “colored people,” and in an instant transported the Congressional floor back to 1963. Friend, we can unseat bigots like Eli in 2024, but it’ll take investment TODAY to mobilize communities in every corner of Arizona. 

Will you pitch in $2 monthly starting today through Election Day to help fight against bigotry, take back the House, and re-elect President Joe Biden?

In 2022, the GOP used their deep pockets to flip Arizona’s 2nd District and elect Eli, and since then he’s walked in lockstep with MAGA Republicans to enact their extremist and partisan agenda. This racist blunder is only the latest in a long list of despicable actions we’ve had to endure during his tenure. 

If we can mobilize 25,000 more voters in Arizona’s 2nd District in 2024, we can flip it back to blue and take back the House. But we’ll need your help today to get there. Can we count on you to pitch in $2 monthly to help us flip this District blue?

Thanks, team, we appreciate your support.
