Friends -
In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a donation directly to Katie Hobbs’ campaign for Governor of Arizona. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially this weekend — is so important.
If you’ve already heard the news and are ready to give, please use this link to donate directly to her campaign:

Otherwise, here’s the truth:
On Friday night, Arizona enacted an abortion ban from 1901 with no exceptions for rape and incest.
It’s a near total ban that puts women at risk, and more than ever Arizona needs a governor who will protect a woman’s right to choose.
But that is not all.
Katie Hobbs is running against an extreme Republican, Kari Lake, whose central thesis of the primary was that the 2020 election was stolen in Arizona and said it was “disqualifying” that her opponent would not agree.
But let me be as blunt as I can be here:
The Governor of Arizona certifies presidential election results. And if you think — for a single second — Kari Lake would sign-off on ANY Democrat winning Arizona in 2024, then you are mistaken.
Katie Hobbs, the Democrat, is the current Secretary of State. She stood up to the Big Lie in a crucial state and took a lot of far-right hate for it.
We need her as Governor of Arizona. So here’s the part where I ask:
What we do for Katie Hobbs today could make a huge difference in the outcome of this race.
Thank you,
Gavin
