John,
After the 9/11 attacks, I made the decision to serve in uniform to protect the values that America represents. I joined the US Navy Reserve serving as an Intelligence Officer, and during that time, I witnessed the incredible sacrifices that my fellow service members make in order to serve our country.
I’ll never forget the people I served alongside. I admire how, no matter what was thrown their way, they never asked for anything in return. We all know that all our nation's service members deserve to return home knowing that they will be taken care of, but so often, they are not.
In 2022, when Congress finally took bipartisan action to help veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their service by passing the PACT Act, guess who voted no?
No, it wasn’t some of the well-known GOP extremists. Ted Cruz voted yes, and so did Matt Gaetz, but AZ-01's very own representative and my opponent, David Schweikert, voted no.
Schweikert then had the nerve to brag to his constituents about all his work helping veterans and encouraged them to sign up for the very benefits he so adamantly voted against. You really can’t make it up. The utter disregard for our service members and veterans is disqualifying.
Arizonans deserve to have a representative who understands and protects our veterans, not a hypocrite who’s focused on only serving the wants and needs of Donald Trump’s agenda. Together, we can get rid of Schweikert and send me to Congress to fight for our veterans, but to do so, I need your help.
John, can I count on you to make a donation today to help my campaign keep up its momentum and ensure AZ-01 has a champion of veterans delivering for them in Congress?
