Of course he voted for Jim Jordan - AGAIN

Friend,  Jim Jordan has had a rough time trying to become House speaker — somehow getting fewer Republican votes on his second try than his first.  It’s not shocking: Jordan is a far-right extremist who sought to overturn the 2020 election and whose views and values are out of step with everyday Ame…

Of course, he voted for Jim Jordan...

Earlier today, Juan Ciscomani voted in favor of electing Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House. Let that sink in: If it were up to Ciscomani, the man who led efforts to overturn the 2020 election would be Speaker of the House.Team,  Earlier today, Juan Ciscomani voted in favor of electing Jim Jordan as…

Why lie, Ciscomani?

Friend,  Kirsten’s opponent, Juan Ciscomani, doesn’t want voters to know his real stance on abortion.  When asked in interviews, he tries to dodge the question (literally running away from it in 2022) or says he believes it’s a state issue.  But when it comes time to vote in the House, his anti-choi…

trail running

Friend,Fall is one of the best times to get out in Arizona’s parks and enjoy all that our incredible state has to offer. As a break from campaigning, I’ve been going for trail runs on the weekend with my husband. You can see pictures from a race in the beautiful Catalina State Park below! When I wa…

It's time to end Citizens United

Friend,  Wealthy donors shouldn’t be able to buy themselves a seat in Congress. Our democracy is founded on the principle of we the people, not we the super PACs.  But legislative attacks and court decisions over the last decade have broken our campaign finance system.  Thirteen years ago, the Supre…

My opponent is the #8 most vulnerable Republican

Hi friend,   I wanted to reach out and make sure you saw my team’s email from over the weekend. Hotline released its initial 2024 House Power Rankings last week, which has meant good and bad news for our campaign.  The great news is that AZ-06 is considered one of the most flippable seats in the cou…

We’re the most competitive race in Arizona. Friend, we were just ranked as one of the most competitive races in the whole country. The National Journal just released the Hotline’s initial 2024 House Power Rankings, which lists the House seats that are most likely to flip next year. AZ-06 was #11, ma…

Thank you so much

Wow. Friend, I’m speechless.  The end of September was an incredibly important fundraising deadline for our campaign. It’s the second time our fundraising numbers will be available to the public, and we have to show that we have the grassroots support to go the distance.   I’m so proud to say that w…

Asking one last time

Friend — we’re just a few hours away from a massive fundraising deadline. This is one of the most competitive races in the country, and your support now can really make a difference. My opponent is a MAGA Republican who has voted to cut funding for seniors, veterans, and schools. He's used bills mea…

Breaking News

Hi friend,  Juan Ciscomani, Kirsten’s opponent, has once again voted for a measure that would restrict abortion nationwide. It’s not just his party — he himself is working to take away women’s reproductive freedom at any opportunity he can get.  We’re in one of the most competitive races in the coun…

Hi friend, I’ll try to make this as quick as possible. Tomorrow is the last day of the quarter.

Friend, In 2022, Republicans were able to take control of the House of Representatives — partly because of Juan Ciscomani’s win in AZ-06.  By donating in the next 36 hours, you can support Kirsten Engel’s people-powered campaign to get Ciscomani out of office and take back Democratic control of the…

We have to fight back

Hi friend, It’s no secret: our opponent is Kevin McCarthy’s right-hand man. Last year, Kevin McCarthy’s PAC spent over 3 million dollars trying to defeat Kirsten and elect Juan Ciscomani — over half of the total spending against our campaign.  This year, we’re up against the same. Kevin McCarthy’s P…

Hi friend, it’s Congressman Raúl Grijalva.  I wanted to take a minute to tell you about a race in Southern Arizona that isn’t just important for our state — it’s important for the whole country.  Right now, this seat is occupied by a Republican who has voted to limit abortion rights, cut funding for…

Friend, this summer has made it very clear that that climate change has arrived in Arizona (and the rest of the country). Our state has seen nonstop scorching temperatures the last couple of months.

This is ridiculous

The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition about an 1864 law that would jail doctors and ban virtually all abortions. Abortions are already banned after 15 weeks in Arizona. Women are being forced to travel out of state and spend thousands of dollars to get the medical care they need. A…
