Juan Ciscomani and the Patriot Academy

John,  Our opponent, Juan Ciscomani, has pretended to be a moderate on the campaign trail. But his ties to a militant Christian nationalist organization make it very clear he is not.  The Patriot Academy is a group that believes we should rewrite the Constitution to establish a Christian Nation.  Th…

Arizona experienced the consequences of this decis…

Receipts

Hi John,  Monday is the second anniversary of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision.  This decision overturned nearly 50 years of protections for reproductive rights. It paved the way for states to pass barbaric abortion bans — including the 1864 total ban in Arizona. It has forced women and girls to car…
