As a mother and as the mayor of Phoenix, I’m voting for a candidate with a track record of delivering and values we can trust.

John — The election in Arizona’s First Congressional District will be one of the most consequential in not just Arizona but all of America.

I’ve watched this campaign and the candidates carefully — not just as an elected official but as a mom and a voter.

Today, I wanted to let you know why I’m voting for Andrei Cherny — and why I hope you’ll support him, too.

Andrei is running against David Schweikert, one of the most extreme Republicans in Congress.

Schweikert co-sponsored the National Right to Life Act six times to ban abortion nationwide without any exceptions for rape, incest, or the health of the mother. And he voted against the CHIPS Act and other bipartisan legislation to build our economy.

Schweikert only won by 1% in his last reelection campaign, and Cook Political Report rates AZ-01 as a “toss-up” — which means this district is one of the Democrats’ best chances in all of America at picking up one of the four seats we need to retake the House majority.

Andrei needs your support to flip this seat. Can you make a contribution to fuel his grassroots campaign today?

We need people in Congress like Andrei Cherny. As the grandchild of four Holocaust survivors and the son of refugees from communism, the principles of freedom and democracy aren’t abstract to him — they’ve always been real.

Andrei has the experience that Phoenix needs in a leader and that voters are excited about. He prosecuted border smuggling rings as Arizona Assistant Attorney General, served in uniform after 9/11, and founded a sustainability-focused business that created thousands of jobs. I trust him to go to Washington and break through the dysfunction we often see in Congress.

This election will be a turning point for Arizona and our country — and Andrei has the momentum required to flip AZ-01 for the Democrats and make progress on all the issues that matter to us.

But Andrei can’t defeat David Schweikert alone, so I’m hoping you join me in supporting him today.

Please make a contribution to support Andrei’s campaign today. Andrei isn’t taking a dime of corporate PAC money so he’s counting on grassroots support to fuel his campaign →
