Friend,
The 2024 election was a wake-up call for Democrats. We watched as a convicted felon defeated a woman with the experience, integrity, and vision to be a great president.
Now, we have a choice: dwell on the loss or take action to ensure it never happens again.
Today, we’re unveiling our plan for 2025 and beyond—what we’re doing differently, how we’re learning from the past, and how we’re setting Democrats up for success in the future.
1.) Year-Round Organizing and Listening to Voters—Not Just Talking at Them
There’s a disconnect between the Democratic Party and working-class voters, and we can’t afford to ignore it. That’s why we’re launching a major listening tour across the county, which comprises 60% of the voters in Arizona. We’ll be on the ground, speaking directly with voters to understand why they didn’t turn out for Democrats in 2024—and how we can rebuild that trust. In addition, we plan on registering voters year-round because we know that registration numbers need to be improved if we want to be successful in 2026 and 2028.
2.) Training Local Democratic Leaders
Legislative District (LD) leaders are often the first point of contact for voters. We want to set them up for success. With this in mind, we’re implementing a professional, in-depth training program for all LD Chairs and Board Members. Well-trained LDs mean greater community engagement, not just with local issues, but with the Democratic Party and its platform as a whole.
3.) Protecting Our Statewide Leaders
In 2026, Arizona’s Democratic Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State will be up for re-election. With Trump and his allies wreaking havoc at the federal level, we must insulate Arizona from their chaos. MCDP is committed to defending our Democratic incumbents and ensuring our state remains a stronghold against far-right extremism.
We know you’re wondering: What are Democrats doing differently this time? This is it. We’re not just tweaking our strategy—we’re overhauling it.
But we can’t do it alone.
We need your help to put this plan into action. Donate today to help us gear up for 2026, enact these bold strategies, and ensure we never repeat the failures of 2024.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
