Hi John,

Last week’s primary left us with a dangerous, extremist Trump-endorsed slate on the November ballot. We’re facing true threats to our democracy, our rights and our state – and processing what to do now can feel overwhelming.  

There are many ways to help and so many candidates and initiatives that need our help. Where do you start?

You can’t win Arizona without Maricopa County

The above statement couldn’t be more true, but unfortunately, the Maricopa County Democratic Party (MCDP) is struggling to garner the financial support needed to not only win our critical county races – from Julie Gunnigle as County Attorney to school board – but also to set up our statewide candidates for a win.

We didn’t expect a County Attorney race in 2022, but with this special election, we have an opportunity to elect someone who will not prosecute women and doctors for healthcare decisions.

Unfortunately, MCDP doesn’t receive funding from national and top of the ticket sources. As strange as it may seem, that money does not trickle down. Funding comes from individual donors like you and I.

I realize it is hard right now to navigate the numerous fundraising asks, but if you can contribute to MCDP, every dollar will make a difference.

“The County Attorney's race has been deemed the most contested prosecutor race in the nation. As we move toward the general election, every dollar we raise will go toward getting County democrats elected in the midterm election.”
- Ne'Lexia Galloway, MCDP Executive Director
Volunteer Together

If you’re like me, you want to help as many races as you can. So we’re forming an action crew -- an inspiring group of former campaign friends and like-minded individuals.

We’ll plan out one action each weekend starting in September, each supporting a different key race. You pick and choose when you want to join us. This will include some canvases, text/phone banks and some special actions to help CD1's Jevin Hodge. Let's help him unseat Schweikert!

Interested? Fill out this quick form to get on the email list for the A-Team Action Crew.

Say No to Vouchers, Again

Arizonans loudly rejected voucher expansion, but the legislature ignored our voices yet again. Help stop this attack on our public schools. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, want to circulate a petition or need more information, find all the details here.

Can’t make it to a signing event this weekend? I’ll be at the Black Rock Coffee Bar on Tatum on August 20th from 9-10:30am. Come by and grab some coffee, chat and sign!

Fighting Cancer

Earlier this summer, you showed up and helped me raise nearly $90,000 to support those fighting cancer here in Arizona as part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man/Woman of the Year campaign.


I was named runner-up and my team, Team Hope Heroes, received a special Community Engagement award. Once a grassroots organizer for a stronger community, always one. ❤️

I am truly grateful for all the support. Thank you.

Together, we can and do make a difference.

Remember, even when it seems impossible or daunting, we will find our way to impact change.

Best,
Anita
