This email is only two words

THANK YOU. Okay, two more:  SO. MUCH. Okay, maybe a few more:  At midnight, my campaign wrapped up our first quarterly fundraiser. Because of the  generosity of folks like you, we passed our original fundraising goal by a big margin. We’re now starting this race on a great foot.  It will be import…

The clock is ticking

My opponent has made it clear what his priorities are as a leader: slashing education budgets, attacking reproductive rights, and leaving veterans and seniors behind — anything to keep the GOP happy. AZ-06 deserves so much better than that.  Since he's a guaranteed Republican vote, Kevin McCarthy …

Our new endorsement

Friend,  We're thrilled to announce that Kirsten has officially been endorsed by EMILY'S List! EMILY'S List is the nation’s largest resource for Democratic pro-choice women in politics — and Kirsten is the very first challenger that they've endorsed this cycle.  Here's what that means: no one is …

Listening

Hi, it's Kirsten.While we're still over a year away from Election Day, I'm proud that our campaign has hit the ground running.One of my favorite things to do on the trail is talk to AZ-06 voters. We're a grassroots operation, and nothing is more important than hearing firsthand from the people I'm …

Abortion rights, one year later

Tomorrow is a tough day, folks. It marks one full year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped away the right to choose. In the aftermath of their decision, Republican lawmakers rushed to pass abortion bans — despite voters across the country making it clear that they support re…

Happy Pride!

Hi friend,Last weekend, I had the pleasure of walking in the Bisbee Pride Parade. It was a wonderful time celebrating love, diversity, and the LGBTQ+ community.We have made so much progress in the fight for equality. But we must keep marching forward, especially as conservative attacks against LGBT…

We'll keep this brief

Team, Juan Ciscomani's voting record tells us everything we need to know about his priorities. In just the five months since he arrived in Washington DC, he's voted:✅ For nationwide abortion restrictions✅ Against common-sense gun safety measures ✅ To cut funding for education, veterans, and senior …

shameful

My opponent just voted to make abortion pills even harder to access — but he doesn't want you to know that.  Juan Ciscomani has done everything he can to avoid questions about abortion — calling it a state's issue and literally running away when pressed. But he can't run away from his voting record…

We must protect abortion rights nationwide

Friend —  The one year anniversary of the Dobbs decision is next week. That means it's been one year since the conservative justices on the Supreme Court decided that abortion rights would no longer be protected across the country.  In the wake of that decision, various state legislatures rushed to…

gridlock

Friend,  Our leaders in Congress have a clear job: get work done for the people they represent.  They should hold hearings, make deals, and pass bills with that goal in mind. Nothing should be more important.  Unfortunately, Republicans in the House are doing the exact opposite. Right now, the enti…

Have you seen this billboard?

Friend —  Last year, our campaign was outspent 6:1. While our opponent was getting big checks from Kevin McCarthy’s PAC and other Republican groups, we relied on a network of grassroots supporters.  Even against all that money, we still came within one percentage point of winning.  We proved that w…

Help us defend LGBTQ+ rights

Friend —  Right now, LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the country — including here at home in Arizona. In this year alone, Republicans in the Arizona Senate passed multiple anti-LGBTQ+ bills, attacking drag performers, trans people, and young kids struggling with their identities. Kirsten Enge…

Hi there — it's Attorney General Kris Mayes.  Last year, I became the first Democrat elected Attorney General in Arizona in more than a decade.

A quick note

Friend, I'll be quick.  I know next year's election seems far away.

Our (fast-approaching) deadline

Hi friend — Last year, despite being outspent 6:1, we lost by less than a percentage point. Next year, we can change that. Kirsten is the best leader for Arizona's Sixth Congressional District. She'll fight for reproductive rights, water security, affordable healthcare, and better schools — the sam…

Friend — We're closing in on our fundraising deadline for May, and we need a little bit more to cross the finish line. We're asking you to chip in $22. Here's why:  Kirsten Engel's opponent claims he fights for everyone in Arizona. But his recent votes make it clear that he only fights for the far-…

Our opponent is threatening to tank the economy

Friend,Right now, Congress and President Biden are locked in negotiation over the debt ceiling.

Voters don’t approve of my opponent

Hi,  My campaign just received some really promising polling, and I wanted you to be one of the first to know. My opponent has made bad votes recently. He’s put his party’s interests over his constituent’s interests — throwing our veterans, working families, and seniors under the bus. When voters w…

Our opponent doesn't want you to know this

In our district, folks want leaders who prioritize common sense solutions, not party agendas or extremist policies.  That's why our opponent has worked hard to convince the public that he's a moderate.
