John,

Earlier this week, I delivered my first State of the State address.

I said it in Monday’s address and I’ll say it again now: I’m incredibly honored to serve as Arizona’s 24th Governor, and I’m ready to work with anyone to address our state’s greatest challenges.

That includes partnering with the business community to ensure Arizona’s businesses and the people who make them run succeed together. It includes working with our legislature to fund public education. It includes finding common ground as we put together short- and long-term plans to secure our state’s water future.

On top of that, my administration will work hard to protect and expand access to reproductive health care. And I’m proposing we implement state level child tax credits and state sales tax exemptions for diapers and feminine hygiene products — to help more of our fellow Arizonans get ahead.

Our work to build an Arizona for everyone is just beginning. I hope you’ll consider supporting efforts like these by pitching in a few dollars now:

I’m excited to get to work to make our bold vision for Arizona a reality, and I hope you are, too.

Thank you again for everything,

Katie
