Hi John,  Last week, we shared some really exciting news with you. Kirsten was added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program. She was among the first of the 17 candidates to be added to this group — and the only one from Arizona! This is a big deal. The Tucson Sentinel reported on what this means for our …
