Hey John,

There's a new Republican jumping into Arizona’s governor's race, and he's no stranger to us.

Last week, David Schweikert announced that he is leaving Congress to run for governor. Here's what you should know:

He's been found guilty of 11 ethics violations for diverting campaign funds for personal vacations.
He mocked the 365,000 Arizonans at risk of losing their health care as nothing more than "bedwetting and whining."
He was a founding member of MAGA's House Freedom Caucus and votes with Trump 100% of the time.

This race is already rated a TOSS-UP. That means every dollar we raise right now could be the difference in keeping extremists out of the governor's office. Donate today:

We've been preparing for this fight: Schweikert was on our House On Notice list, and our very first endorsement this cycle was aimed at defeating him in Congress. Now, he's trying to unseat Gov. Katie Hobbs and undo her progress as governor.

While Gov. Hobbs has repealed Arizona's 1864 abortion ban and expanded homeownership through her Arizona Is Home project, Schweikert has sided with Trump on tariffs, supported one of the largest tax increases in 50 years, and stayed silent on Trump's dangerous plan to eliminate Arizona’s mail-in voting system.

Here's what to expect over the coming months: a Republican primary dominated by loyalty tests to Trump, a flood of billionaire money from GOP donors, and margins that will come down to the wire.

But EMILYs List women like Katie Hobbs win because grassroots supporters like you show up when it matters most. Will you chip in today to help Democratic pro-choice women defeat GOP extremists up and down the ballot?
