I know it’s not “normal” for a freshman member of Congress to “adopt” a district hundreds of miles away over a year before the election.

But these aren’t normal times.

I heard from thousands of you, online and offline, that Democrats need to do more. You said loud and clear: “Business as usual” isn’t enough. We need to try something new.

That’s why we’re organizing both INSIDE Congress to fight the Trump agenda AND OUTSIDE to build a blue wave to flip the House. It’s a lot of work, but this team has never backed down from a challenge.

If you haven’t had a chance, please read the memo from my team (below) about our adopted swing district, Arizona’s 6th, and our incredible candidate JoAnna Mendoza. Then, split a donation of any amount between Jo's campaign and our grassroots organizing program → [[link removed]]

Thank you so much 💙

PREVIOUS EMAIL:

John,

Earlier this year, Emily “adopted” one of the most competitive districts in the country, Arizona’s 6th, also known as AZ-06.

That means we’re directing our grassroots energy to flip this critical seat ahead of the 2026 elections.

We wanted to give you an overview of why this race is so important – and how our combined efforts can turn this district from red to blue.


The District

AZ-06 encompasses the southeastern corner of Arizona, including all of Greenlee County, and parts of Cochise, Pima, Pinal, and Graham Counties. Most of the District’s population lives in Pima County in the rapidly growing suburbs of Tucson.

AZ-06 is truly a PURPLE district. Voters here backed Trump by 5% in 2016, then Biden by 0.1% (!!) in 2020, then Trump by 2% in 2024. However, the 6th District has supported Democratic candidates for Senate in 2020, 2022, and 2024.


The Incumbent

Republican Juan Ciscomani won this seat in 2022 by 1.5% and in 2024 by 2.5%. Despite representing an extremely purple district, he has voted lockstep with the MAGA agenda.

When the Big Bad Bill was moving through Congress, Ciscomani spoke out [[link removed]] against the provisions in the bill that would hurt Arizona’s green energy businesses.

He also said [[link removed]] he "cannot, and will not, support any legislation that reduces Medicaid benefits for vulnerable populations the program intended to serve."

However, once Trump and Republican leaders applied a little pressure, Ciscomani caved and voted for the destructive budget he knew would hurt his constituents.

The final bill contained a tax provision that benefits Ciscomani personally [[link removed]] , increasing the amount of “pass-through” income he can deduct from his taxes.


Our Candidate

While Ciscomani serves himself, our candidate JoAnna Mendoza has made a lifelong commitment to serving others.

JoAnna — known to friends as “Jo” — grew up in a farmworker family and relied on programs like SNAP and WIC. She enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 17 and served for 20 years – becoming a drill sergeant, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, and leading the next generation of Marines.

She returned to Arizona to raise her son, Aidan, and worked as a nonprofit leader, veterans advocate, and policy expert to benefit working people in her community.

Saying that she would be an upgrade for Arizona’s 6th District is an understatement!


What’s Next?

There’s no handbook for “adopting” a swing district – but here are a few things we can do now:

➡️ Help with fundraising. The earlier the Mendoza campaign brings in funds, the more effective they can be.

➡️ Combat disinformation. The GOP and their billionaire donors will target Jo. We can pitch in to counter any attacks that come her way.

➡️ Grow our volunteer team. Just like we pulled out all the stops to send Emily to Congress, we’ll do the same for Jo, with phonebanking and more.

Now is the part where we ask for a donation.

Most members of Congress don’t go all-in, over a year in advance, to help a campaign hundreds of miles away. But there aren’t normal times, so we’re trying something new. We need to flip three seats to take back the House, and AZ-06 could be one of them.

Please split a donation of $6, $26, or any amount to support JoAnna Mendoza and fuel our political program in Washington and in critical swing districts like Arizona’s 6th. Chip in today → [[link removed]]
