John — take a look at this picture:

That’s me, my parents, and my twin sister. At the time, I had no idea what life would have in store for me — but looking back, it’s clear how I got where I am today.

Just like many working-class families, my family faced periods of financial uncertainty when I was growing up in Tempe. When my dad was between jobs, we sometimes relied on community support like food stamps or our church to make ends meet.

That’s where my appreciation and dedication to service and supporting others comes from. Those experiences taught me a lesson I carry with me every day: when your neighbor is in need, you show up. You help. You serve.

It’s why I began volunteering at my church, why I decided to become a social worker, and eventually worked at one of the nation’s largest domestic violence shelters. I learned the value of giving back to your community in the way my community gave back to me.

But I also saw firsthand how the failures of elected officials negatively impact everyday Arizonans. From seeing families struggle to pay medical bills, provide for their kids, or be forced to work multiple jobs in order to keep up with bills, I knew something had to change.

I realized if you can’t change the policy, you have to change the people making it. So I ran for office, I won, and I haven’t lost an election since.

As Arizona’s 24th Governor, I’ve proudly erased medical debt for over 350,000 Arizonans, cut taxes for middle class families, and lowered the cost of healthcare and childcare.

I’m focused on creating real solutions for our state’s toughest challenges — unlike the Washington politicians who prefer to play partisan games. And I need your help.

After Donald Trump won Arizona by over 5 points last November, he and national Republicans have made me one of their top targets to defeat in 2026. And with all the far-right billionaires and super PACs in their corner, that means they’ve got virtually unlimited resources behind them. 

I learned early on that it takes a village, and this campaign is no different. Grassroots support is how we’re going to win this toss-up race. And I know that $5 or $10 might not sound like much, but it all adds up when everyone chips in.

So here’s the part where I ask: Can you pitch in any amount to help me continue serving Arizona for another four years? Political experts are saying there’s just a 50/50 chance I win this race — and that means I can’t do this without you.
