Thank you.

John,  The voters have made their decision and we must respect it. I will not be the next Representative for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District.  While we came up short, I couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve put in.  From donors to volunteers to staff to my family, we’ve all made sacrifices t…

Our deadline today

Hi John,  I’m still neck-and-neck with my opponent in the race for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District. Everything is on the line.  Today is the last day we can cure lawful ballots — so our team is working around the clock.  To make sure every lawful vote is counted fairly and securely, we need…

We can’t give up yet — we need your help

Hi John,   We knew from the start that this would be an incredibly close race.  In 2022, we lost by just a percentage point after being outspent 6:1. This cycle, we gave it our all to make sure my opponent couldn’t drown out our campaign with his millions in dark money.   We decided to spend everyt…

John, our race is still too close to call.  Kirsten is neck-and-neck with her extremist Republican opponent — but there are still thousands of lawful ballots that need to be counted.  Together, our grassroots campaign overcame millions of dollars from super PACs supporting our opponent. Arizona v…
