I will never forget the day of January 8, 2011.

I was on duty that day as a trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona
College of Medicine. There had been a mass shooting that morning in Tucson
and a gunman, wielding a semi-automatic, attempted to assassinate
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her constituents who joined to
participate in our democracy. Nineteen of our neighbors were shot that
day. Six died.

My team and I did everything we could to save the lives of every single
victim of this tragic and senseless act of gun violence. Me, my friends,
my staff — We’ve all seen too much devastation from gun violence
firsthand.

It’s time that changes. I took an oath to do everything in my power to
serve my patients and to save lives. Which is why I wanted you to be the
first to hear this and to hear this from me personally:

I’m officially running for the open House seat in Arizona’s 2nd
Congressional District so we can end the epidemic of gun violence in our
country once and for all.

Republicans have singled out this race as a top target of theirs and I
have no doubt the NRA will do the same now that I’m running.

I worked around the clock to save Congresswoman Giffords and took care of
her until she could be moved to rehabilitation to begin the long process
of recovery.

During that time, I quickly became friends with Gabby and her husband,
Mark Kelly.

They are the ones who encouraged me to run for state office in 2014. So I
did — and I became the only Democrat to unseat a Republican incumbent in
all of Arizona that year. Since then, I’ve been proud to push our state
Party and Arizona in a more progressive direction.

As a doctor, my job is to heal. Which is why I’m asking for your help to
take my work to Congress: To heal our broken healthcare system, to help
heal the communities ravaged by gun violence by putting an end to these
preventable deaths, to heal our planet from the soon-to-be irreversible
damage of the climate crisis, and to heal our fractured democracy.

[ [link removed] ]I’m not about to let this open swing seat fall into the hands of some
Far-Right, anti-science, NRA loyalist. We can’t afford to lose this race —
with your help, we won’t. Become a Founding Donor today and let’s win
Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.
