What we’re up against this November

Friend, Last week, Kirsten Engel won big in AZ-06. But the fight to win this seat is just starting.  Kirsten's Republican opponent is BAD NEWS. Juan Ciscomani only cares about what gets him ahead, even when that means deceiving voters or rubbing elbows with far-right extremists.Make sure Kirsten ha…

thank you thank you thank you

Friend, From the start of this campaign, I have made one thing very clear: I will always show up for what matters. I will show up for our reproductive rights, for our kids' educations, for our environment, and for our working families.  On Tuesday, AZ-06 voters showed up for me and made me the Demo…

We did it!

Friend, Because of your incredible support over the last year, our campaign won our primary election. I am honored to be the Democratic nominee for Arizona's 6th Congressional District.  Today's results are loud and clear. This win isn't about me, it's about all of us — Arizonans who are fed up. It…

It's time to vote!!

Election Day is here, friend! Every last vote counts in this primary election. So we want to make sure you have a plan to vote, in case you hadn't had a chance to do so by mail yet.  If you need to find a polling place, you can enter your address here. You also need to bring valid ID (a list of whi…

I'm so grateful for you, friend

I know you've heard from me and my team a lot recently. That's because my primary election is tomorrow, and we've been working overtime to reach as many undecided voters as possible. We set an ambitious goal for July to make sure we had the resources we need to win. And thanks to your support, we …

The choice is obvious ⏰!!️

Kirsten will always fight for our workers — which is why she's been endorsed by the largest union in Arizona. She will always stand up for the environment — which is why she's backed by the Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters. She will always defend reproductive freedom and champion work…

You could make all the difference

I'll be quick, friend. I ran for State Assembly because I saw how the legislature was failing Arizona students — including my own daughter. I wanted to make a difference, and I'm so proud of the work we accomplished there.  Now, I'm running for the House of Representatives for a lot of the same rea…

Quick note for you

I'm writing to you from Tucson, where I, along with Kirsten, her daughter, and the rest of Team Engel have been working overtime to reach every last AZ-06 voter we can. Kirsten's primary is just FOUR DAYS AWAY, so every person we connect with matters. Happy Friday, friend!  I'm writing to you from T…

When there's a fire, who do you call?

There is NO ONE in this race — and very few people in Congress — who are as qualified to take on the climate crisis as Kirsten. If there's a fire, you call the fire department.   Well, when you're facing down an existential threat like climate change, you call Ki…

Hi friend, I wanted to reach out to make sure you got the exciting news: Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick has officially endorsed our campaign! Congresswoman Kirkpatrick has been an incredible advocate for the Tucson commmunity, so her endorsement is a big honor — and one I don't take lightly. You ca…

The end of this month is crucial

Hi

Friend — It's Robijn, Kirsten's campaign manager, and I wanted to give you an update on our race. The good news: Kirsten is doing GREAT. Her message truly connects with voters, and we have incredible momentum going into our primary — which is just a week and a half away.  The not-as-good news: this…

losing is not an option

Yesterday, the House voted on the Right to Contraception Act. It's a simple law that would protect access to birth control across the country.  In what should be horrifying to all of us and surprising to none, only eight Republicans voted to pass the act. That means 195 voted AGAINST it. Unbelievab…

Why I'm endorsing Kirsten Engel for Congress

Kirsten Engel has been a fierce advocate for Arizona families in the State Legislature. As an environmental attorney, she understands the climate crisis we are facing and the need to protect our state's resources. When it comes to energy and water, she is the expert we need advocating for Arizona.…

We need to act quickly, friend

Two weeks. That's all we have left until Election Day for our primary. But with thousands of AZ-06 voters choosing to vote-by-mail, we have to treat every day like Election Day.  Kirsten is the champion of the environment, reproductive rights, and gun safety that we need in Congress. Will you make …

You don't just have to take my word for it 🌎

I've spent my life fighting to protect Arizona's wilderness and climate. I've helped preserve our wild spaces as a park ranger, fought to keep our communities safe and air clean as an environmental lawyer, and taught the next generation of climate advocates as a professor.  In Congress, I will cha…

Kirsten's opponent isn't telling the truth

Unions are a crucial part of the United States workforce. Because of organized labor, we have the five-day work week, better wages, safer working conditions, and so much more.  In the last few years, we've seen an incredible groundswell of folks organizing through the US workforce. Workers are ris…

I want to address something

On the last day of June, the Supreme Court handed down a decision that effectively gutted the Clean Air Act and the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions.  The decision is going to make it incredibly difficult to have any systemic regulatory response to climate change — which is exactly what …

What. A. Month.

Friend, Early voting for our primary election started this week! We've been busy this last month trying to reach voters before ballots were sent out — you can see the work we've been doing down below: First, Kirsten and our team have been knocking on doors all around AZ-06. Ron is a retired auto…

It's an exciting day 🙌

As of today, mail-in ballots are being sent out for our primary election. We've been working hard to reach voters over the past month — through our new ads, knocking on doors, and community outreach. Now, we need to double down on all of those efforts. It's an exciting day, friend!! As of today, ma…

Wishing you and your community a happy 4th of July!

Thank you, friend

This is the most competitive seat in Arizona. It's CRUCIAL to protecting the House majority and — as this last week has proven — we need our House majority more than ever. I will fight tirelessly for reproductive freedom, climate action, and gun safety. But I can't do any of that without your sup…

Politics can get really frustrating at times — and it can be hard to feel like the fight is worth it. That's when I think about my daughter. I want her to grow up in a world where SHE chooses what she does with her body. I want her to have clean air and water, and to be able to experience big, wi…

We can't lose this seat

The Supreme Court has officially overturned Roe v. Wade. And in their decision, they indicated they might also be preparing to overturn the right to contraception AND same-sex marriage. This is a really competitive seat. But this decision makes it clear that Arizona needs a representative who wil…

Where we go from here

I am livid, friend. The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The writing was on the wall – but that doesn't make the news any less devastating.  Republicans have been attempting to roll back the right to abortion care for decades, regardless if that means denying people the freedoms and futu…

BREAKING: the Supreme Court has found more rights to destroy

For weeks, we've been waiting for the Supreme Court to release their decision officially overturning Roe v. Wade. But, this morning, they released a different, very disappointing decision on gun control. The six conservative members ruled that a New York law requiring "proper cause" for carrying …

Last week, we released a new ad to show voters who Kirsten is and what she'll fight for. We had a GREAT response to the video, so we want to make sure we can keep in on air. Mail-in ballots will be dropping in just two weeks — which makes these next 14 days really important. We need to reach as ma…

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...

"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…

Millions of COVID-19 funds misused?!
