We all get by with a little help from our friends. But for Kirsten's opponent, it's more than just a little help.
Ciscomani got caught in a pay-to-play scheme — yet another attempt to get himself — and his allies — ahead no matter what. (Remember when Ciscomani publicly condemned PPP loans during the pandemic despite using them for two of his businesses?)
Here's the deal: before new district lines were drawn, Juan Ciscomani's wife nominated a man named David Mehl to the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission. Once on the commission, Mehl tried to gerrymander our map into a district that "could help Ciscomani with the seat." The icing on the cake? Mehl's son twice gave Ciscomani's campaign the maximum he could last year — and then David Mehl gave another max contribution just a few weeks ago.
In other words, Ciscomani got money and an ally on the Redistricting Commission, and David Mehl got a new job and political influence.
Southern Arizonans deserve better than a leader who only cares about what gets him ahead.
Kirsten has a proven record of fighting for us — for the clean air we breath, the schools we send our kids to, and the right to make choices about our own bodies. Will you support her by chipping in now?
We got this,
— Team Engel
