RPAZ Continues Mid-Term Momentum |
|
The Republican Party of Arizona is continuing to ramp up in this important midterm election year. We are registering voters, recruiting people to run to become elected Precinct Committeemen & Committeewomen, and raising money to have the resources to win elections up and down the ballot in November.
I want to welcome aboard our new Executive Director Pam Kirby. Many of you already know Pam from her service as First Vice Chair to the state party and her work recruiting and training candidates for school board seats. She also served nationally on the Latinos for Trump Advisory Board. Pam brings a strong business background from eleven years in Executive Finance for Frito-Lay, where she managed a half-a-billion-dollar budget and helped increase market share from 60% to 70%. She has also served as an elected official for two terms each on the Paradise Valley Town Council and Scottsdale Unified School Board. Originally from Texas, she is a Certified Public Accountant in Texas and Arizona, and holds a Bachelor’s in Accounting, an MBA, and a Master’s in Education Policy. We are lucky to have a leader of Pam’s caliber. Her knowledge of our state, our candidates, our opponents, and our operations will help us achieve victory in November.
We are also moving rapidly to grow our team to be ready for this year’s challenges. We have the statewide offices of Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mine Inspector and two seats on the Corporation Commission all on the ballot, along with our State Senate and State House. Sign their petitions here: Sign Petitions. We all know that Arizona is the tip of the spear in taking back the U.S. Senate and House and we all want to fire Nancy Pelosi and revive the American economy, right?
We are driving full speed ahead towards Republican victory this November and we need YOU! You can get involved by clicking here: Volunteer. If your time is limited, please consider donating to the efforts to keep AZ free: Donate Here.
Always America First!

Biden Delivers on His Promise to Nominate Far Left Supreme Court Justice to Bench
As he has repeatedly promised, Joe Biden has nominated a left-wing, activist judge to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
If confirmed, Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Democrat partisan, will work to rubber stamp Biden’s far-left agenda instead of protecting the Constitution and American liberties. During her legal career, she worked for several terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay including a Taliban intelligence officer who was thought to be a terrorist cell leader.
Throughout her short time on the bench, Jackson has consistently ruled against conservative policies including blocking President Trump’s executive orders to hold failing federal employees accountable – a decision that was unanimously reversed by the D.C. Circuit court. She also blocked the Trump administration from expanding a program to deport illegal immigrants quicker. Her explanation: DHS didn’t consider the impact on illegal immigrants.
Additionally, she holds membership in groups that raise questions, such as the Cosmos Club, a private D. C. club frequented by the Washington elite. The club didn’t admit women until 1988. Jackson is also a member of the Harvard University’s Board of Overseers, which, if she were confirmed, would pose a conflict of interest in the highly contentious Harvard race-based admissions case.
The Republican National Committee has vowed to expose Jackson and hold Senate Democrats accountable for their vote.
