John, I am incredibly disappointed.

Just a little while ago, the Arizona Supreme Court decided to enforce a law from long before any of us were born, before even our grandparents were born.

They are enforcing a near-total ban on abortion that was originally passed before Arizona was even a state, in 1864, during the Civil War.

No exceptions for rape. No exceptions for incest.

As a father, I am fearful for my daughter. As an Arizonan, I am fearful for the people of my state. And as an American, I am absolutely furious that this has come to pass.

It’s not lost on me that this happened because of the Supreme Court that Donald Trump built, and because the Senate failed to act to protect abortion rights when they had the chance.

It’s a dark day, but this is NOT over.

If I make it to the Senate I will do everything I can to pass legislation that will make the protections provided by Roe v. Wade the law of the land — including reforming the filibuster.

I’m a Marine, and I’ll fight alone if I have to. But we’ll accomplish a lot more together. So please, if you’re looking for a way to channel your anger into action, consider supporting my campaign.
