New Republican voters are being registered at a record pace in Arizona! We made huge investments to increase Republican voter registration numbers earlier this year and we’ve seen it pay incredible dividends over the summer and in these months leading up to the November election.

Here’s the latest breakdown of the over 2.5 million active voters registered in Maricopa County:

  • 885,510 — Republican (35.36%)
  • 807,003 — Other (32.23%)
  • 788,334 — Democrat (31.48%)
  • 23,024 — Libertarian (0.91%)

Best of all, Republicans continue to see our numbers surge! Statewide, since April 1, 2020, Republicans have added 55,988 new voters while Democrats have added only 39,946 — a 16,042 margin in our favor.

Over that same period, Republicans out-registered Democrats in Maricopa County by about 9,000 new voters. To put all these numbers into perspective, a few months ago Republicans had a registration advantage in Maricopa County of around 80,000. Last month, we saw that advantage spike to over 87,000. Today, it’s almost at 97,000 — and we’re not slowing down!

Legislative District Tele-Town Halls
Last week, the Republican Party of Arizona dialed out to tens of thousands of critically important voters in LD17 and LD21 as part of a series of tele-town halls with our Republican nominees for the Arizona State Legislature.

Moderated by Chairwoman Kelli Ward, voters in those districts heard a discussion between her and our Republican nominees on topics like education, tax cuts and policy, criminal justice reform, defending the police, election integrity, and other relevant issues.

Joining as speakers on our LD17 tele-town hall were State Senator J.D. Mesnard, State Representative Jeff Weninger, and LD17 GOP nominee Liz Harris.

Later that same evening, on our LD21 tele-town hall, callers heard from State Senator Rick Gray, State Representative Kevin Payne, and LD21 GOP nominee Beverly Pingerelli.

These calls were specifically targeted to reach thousands of important swing and undecided voters in both LD17 and LD21. Additional tele-town halls have already been scheduled to take place in the coming days and weeks in legislative districts 4, 6, 9, 11, 20, and 28 ahead of the November 3rd election.
Important Home Stretch Resources
We are now 31 days from Election Day 2020. This election will be won or lost in the trenches. In the end, the better-prepared side that invested more energy and resources and fought harder until the final bell will most likely be crowned the winner. At the Republican Party of Arizona, we are executing on all fronts to secure a victory for our country and our American values. Here are a just a few updates on efforts the State Party is actively engaged in:

  • Latest "State of the Race" Facebook Live Event: The Republican Party of Arizona hosted another episode of our weekly "State of the Race" Facebook Live events this week! These events are designed to help voters learn more about the Republican nominees running to represent them in 2020. In this week's episode of our "State of the Race" series, Chairwoman Kelli Ward chatted with Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel, House Speaker Rusty Bowers (LD-25), LD-4 State Senate nominee Travis Angry, LD-6 State Senate nominee Wendy Rogers, LD-4 State House nominee Joel John, LD-23 State House nominee John Kavanagh, and Maricopa County Community College Governing Board candidate Shelli Boggs!

  • Voter Education Resources Available: Voters can also brush up on their knowledge of the Republican nominees running for federal, statewide, and legislative offices in 2020 by visiting our custom voter education website at www.azgop.vote today!

  • "Defend Your Ballot" Campaign to Enlist Poll Workers: The Republican Party is recruiting people to sign up to be volunteers by directing them to DefendYourBallot.com. We need an army of observers and poll workers to provide vital, real-time information on in-person voting, as well as to monitor the counting of mail-in ballots. Upon enlistment in our Army for Trump, our volunteers will receive training to learn all about the poll-watching process. Loyal volunteers are vital to free and fair elections. Any information about changes to election procedure, voting, and absentee requests can be sent to our Arizona State Election Day Operations Director, Gina Swoboda, by emailing [email protected].

  • Positively Framing the Media Narrative: Chairwoman Kelli Ward appeared on Newsmax TV to speak with former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer about the importance of Arizona in deciding the outcome of the 2020 election. The interview covered President Trump's margin of victory in 2016 and how he will look to build on that margin in 2020, President Trump and the Republican Party's shared values with the LDS community, and a question about Biden's absence on the campaign trail while President Trump has traveled all over the country.

You've Got Mail: Golden Tickets Incoming!
In the past, Golden Tickets have proven to be an invaluable resource for making sure our Republican nominees win on Election Day!

For your average voter, learning who the candidates on the ballot are can sometimes be a daunting and laborious endeavor. That's why the Republican Party of Arizona has worked to make voting easy for them by ensuring EVERY legislative district in the state receives Golden Tickets this election cycle!

We've used cutting-edge data to maximize our efforts by targeting specific universes of voters who may need encouragement and guidance to get out and vote for all of our Republican candidates down the ballot. We have also provided multiple training sessions for our legislative district and county chairs, partnered with a print house to deliver professional and approachable designs check out the example above of our LD21 Golden Ticket! and utilized our unique mailing permit to ensure we gained the biggest bang for our buck when it came to printing hundreds of thousands of tickets.

Best of all, these Golden Tickets are slated to hit voters' mailboxes at the same time as early ballots next week! We are so excited to see the impact these have across our state. With efforts like this one, we will ensure that we keep Arizona red, re-elect President Trump, send Senator McSally back to the U.S. Senate, and hold onto our Republican majorities in the State Legislature.

We thank all the district and county chairs who worked collaboratively with us on this project! From designing unique grassroots pieces, to compiling candidate lists, and by supporting our robust efforts, the Republican Party of Arizona encountered incredible buy-in from leaders all across the state. Now, we are thrilled to be able to deliver on this promise to our candidates and their campaigns!
Presidential Debate Watch Party at HQ
The Republican Party of Arizona hosted a Presidential Debate Watch Party at our Phoenix headquarters on Tuesday, September 29. Guests cheered on Donald Trump as he demolished Democrat challenger Sleepy Joe Biden.

Before the debate, Chairwoman Ward addressed the attendees with a brief update on the state of the 2020 race here in Arizona and special guest Richard Grenell called in with breaking national updates.

Chairwoman Ward released the following statement after the debate ended:

“Tonight, millions of Americans learned why Joe Biden has been hiding from voters in his basement. Biden is a career politician whose only accomplishments are shipping millions of jobs overseas and raising taxes on hard-working Americans. Now, contrast Biden with President Trump, a political outsider when he ran in 2016, who has already done more in his 47 months in office than Biden has done in 47 years. The choice in this election couldn't be more clear: President Trump will uphold the rule of law in our nation, negotiate better and fairer trade deals that put American workers first, and demonstrate that he is the man to continue to lead our Great American Comeback.”
