A call no parent wants to receive

  It's a call no parent should ever receive. But I've received it, and countless other parents have as well. That terrified call from your child whispering on the other end of the phone crouching under her desk in lockdown because a suspected gunman has approached the school. Thank God …

Republicans are ramping up their attacks

Friend, Ever since last week's debate, Republicans have been ramping up their attacks. From social media posts to outrageous ad spending, they will stop at nothing to silence anyone who is beholden to the will of Arizona's voters. According to a recent poll, 90% of Arizona voters suppor…

Did you catch the debate?

Friend, Earlier this week, Kirsten took to the debate stage and proved why she is the most qualified candidate to represent the people and communities of AZ-06. From her extensive knowledge of climate change, and the many solutions before us that will enrich our economy for generations …

Before Kirsten takes the debate stage

Friend, Kirsten is about to take the stage, and we want to send her off with a strong show of support before she does. Will you chip in a few dollars to show Kirsten we have her back? We know that Kirsten is the most qualified candidate in this race, but right now she needs to know her …

Help defend abortion access

Friend, For years, Republican lawmakers have pushed unconstitutional legislation that would ban abortions. All in the hope that a right-wing Supreme Court would rubber-stamp their agenda. And now, it seems they have their wish. But this isn’t the end of our fight! Can we count on you to…

Hello Friend, I'm Former Congressman Ron Barber, and as the grandfather of three young women, I will not stand idly by while Republicans engineer the reversal of the 50-year precedent of Roe v. Wade and destroy the freedom, hopes and very lives of our next generation. That’s why I’m supp…

Happy Mother's Day

Friend, This weekend we celebrate mothers and the many strong women and female role models in our lives. Given the recent shameful attacks on our reproductive rights, I acknowledge that this holiday may feel bittersweet, and hard to celebrate. Like you, I am angry. It terrifies me that …

BREAKING: Roe overturned

Friend, I'm horrified. Multiple media outlets have obtained a draft decision authored by Supreme Court Justice Samuell Alito characterized by Politico as "a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion right…

No fossil fuel money? No problem.

Was Kirsten's decision to turn down fossil fuel money the right one? Friend, Can I be brutally honest with you? As a professional fundraiser, Kirsten’s decision to sign the “No Fossil Fuel Money” pledge made me nervous. Shutting the door on a revenue stream that literally every other cand…

Breaking news you're not going to love

Friend, I won't sugarcoat it... the news isn't great. What happened? Dozens of national publications and pundits have already characterized AZ-06 as one of the most competitive Congressional races in the country. No, that's not the bad part. Competitive districts are actually a good thi…

AZ GOP tried to outlaw mail-in voting

Republicans targetinging this seat

No one should be charged with murder for an abortion
