This is personal

My whole adult life, abortions have been a protected right. That will most likely not be true for my daughter. I'm not just horrified — I'm angry. Everyone deserves the right to make intimate decisions about their own bodies and lives.  With the Supreme Court poised to overturn the 50-year preced…

Republican PACs are POURING money into this race...

Between the Congressional Leadership PAC and the NRCC, MILLIONS of dollars worth of airtime have already been reserved in Kirsten's district.  Kirsten supports comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship and protection for our DREAMers. So they'll call her an open-border …

"the epicenter of the fight for voting rights today"

Voting is one of the most important rights we have in our country. Without free and fair elections, our democracy is meaningless. That's what makes Arizona's recently passed legislation so concerning. Republicans have introduced over 100 bills this year (the most in the nation) to make it hard fo…

We’re On Air!

Hey folks,  Today is a HUGE day for Team Engel. You may have already seen it, but our first ad just went on air! Reaching out to the hundreds of thousands of voters here in the AZ-06 takes a lot of resources, and we were only able to do it with the help of our grassroots supporters. You can watch…

50 days out!!

Friend,We're 50 days out from my primary election! This is the MOST COMPETITIVE SEAT in Arizona.  While the NRA, Big Oil, and special interests have been pouring into winning this congressional seat, I've kept my focus on what matters most: the people of Arizona's 6th Congressional District. It's…

Re: enough is enough

We need common-sense gun safety laws in this country now.  No parent should ever experience the terror and powerlessness that comes with knowing your child is potentially in an active shooter situation.  I've been through it — and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.  Here's the thing: we can change thi…

Millions of COVID-19 funds misused?!

Friend,  Based on a recent Arizona Auditor General's report, Arizona misappropriated more that $20 million in federal COVID-19 relief and gave away another $1.6 billion to fraudulent claims.When COVID-19 hit, Kirsten was focused on how we could provide relief to working families, keep our communi…

Highlights from the Campaign Trail

Friend, I owe you my thanks. I know my team sent you a ton of emails over the past week, but it was only because yesterday's deadline was so important for this campaign. We share the same values, goals, and aspirations for our community. We want to protect the right to abortion, the righ…

What we are fighting for

Friend, Can I count on you to chip in a few dollars before tonight's midnight deadline? I know I don't need to remind you just how much is at stake in this race. Democrats hold the House majority by just a handful of seats, and our race will be one of the few to determine which party co…

how campaigns are funded matters.

Friend, Big Oil companies have long relied on elected officials who enable them to pollute our environment for a big check. In fact, a recent analysis found a correlation between fossil fuel industry campaign contributions and anti-environment votes taken by legislators. But we're proud …

Kirsten isn't afraid of the NRA

Friend, We hear the call for thoughts and prayers, the calls for more policing, and the blame Republicans cast on mental health, bullying, and video games. But the truth is, we already have tangible solutions — and that includes common-sense gun laws. However, our demands for real chang…

The "family values" party voted against feeding babies

Friend, As an unapologetically pro-Mom candidate, the baby formula shortage worries me. And while Republicans market themselves as the party of "family values," their vote to deny $28 million in aid to the Food and Drug Administration to address the shortage of baby formula says other wi…

A call no parent wants to receive

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…

Help defend abortion access
