John, one thing you may not know about me is that I love going on hikes!

Not only is it a great way to stay active, but it’s also the perfect excuse to explore all of Arizona’s beautiful parks and trails.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how governing is a lot like hiking.

Some days it’s a walk in the park, and other days, it’s an uphill battle — but the reward of taking on a big challenge, like passing a bipartisan state budget that addresses Arizona’s most pressing challenges, and overcoming it feels just as incredible as reaching the top of a mountain.

And just like hiking, I’ll never grow tired of public service.

With over half of the year behind us, I’m so proud of the work we’ve accomplished, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

From protecting reproductive rights to standing up for LGBTQ+ Arizonans, we’ve made major strides in building an Arizona that supports everyone, but there’s still so much more work that needs to be done.

That’s why I’m humbly asking today: Can you pitch in before our end-of-month deadline tomorrow night? Your support will help me make even more progress for Arizona.

Thank you for letting me gush about hiking! I’m so grateful to have you as part of this grassroots team.
