Optimistic Indicators Hint at Arizona Republican Success in 2022
The weekend before Thanksgiving, we had a terrific turnout for the American Freedom Tour conference in Phoenix. It was my honor to speak to well over three thousand excited lovers of freedom along with Dinesh D’Souza, Laura Ingraham, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump Jr., and many others! We were excited to register new Republicans and have people signing up to become Republican Precinct Committeemen. It was an inspiring and exciting event.
 
The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) is continuing with its open meetings on its draft maps for Congressional and Legislative Districts for the next ten years. They are holding public hearings this coming week, and you can use this link to see the schedule. For months, we have driven record numbers of Republicans to these critically important meetings, and we cannot take our foot off the gas now. We urge you to make your voice heard by the IRC! You can get guidance on how to sign up and testify with Fair Maps Arizona.
 
Republicans continue to lead Democrats in voter registration in Arizona and outpace them in new registrations quarter after quarter. In fact, the Republican Party of Arizona is the only party that is adding to its ranks, while the others are actually losing members. We intend to keep up this momentum!
 
A poll from Morning Consult shows both Biden and Mark Kelly dropping more than 10 points in favorability with Arizona voters since April. As the effects of Biden’s inept policies and Mark Kelly’s failure to stand up to those failed policies become clear to Arizonans, their polling numbers continue to plummet. Let’s all remember when speaking to our friends and neighbors that we would not be seeing these outrageous gas and food prices with Republican policies in place. It is a good opportunity to have them change their voter registrations to Republican and grow our party!
 
As we watch armed looters storming stores in California, New York, Chicago, and Minnesota, it is important to note that these crime sprees are happening in places with liberal prosecutors. Their soft on crime policies are leading to mayhem. It illustrates the importance of voting for Republicans all the way down the ballot, especially for sheriffs and prosecutors. Where criminals know that laws will be enforced, which are generally Republican jurisdictions, we do not see these problems.
 
Now is the time for Republicans to stand tall and be counted. Arizona, our home, is on the line in 2022. We must put a stop to the Democrats’ disastrous policies by again defending both chambers of our state legislature, winning our statewide executive races, and sending Mark Kelly packing by electing a strong Republican senator. To do this, we must be united in common purpose, smart in our approach, and relentless in our work. Together, we will defend Arizona. In doing so, we will do our part to save America.


Always America First!
