Arizona hot

John,  This race isn’t just heating up — it’s burn-your-hands-on-the-steering-wheel hot. It’s mid-July-and-the-AC-stops-working hot. It’s… well, you get the idea.   Multiple outlets are now calling our race a toss-up (and admitting they should’ve called it that sooner).  That means that — despite my…

Arizona can lead the way in the climate fight

Did you see Kirsten’s new op-ed about Earth Week 2024? If you missed it, you can read it here. As an environmental law professor, Kirsten understands that the risk posed by the climate crisis cannot be understated.  In Arizona, our water supply is in jeopardy, wildfire smoke is more prevalent, and …

Hi John,  Happy Earth Day! On Saturday, Scott and I celebrated early by running in the Biosphere 2 Earth Day 5k race.

Q&A

John,  At the end of March, Kirsten stopped by the Sierra Vista Herald office for a Q&A with their editorial team. It was a great conversation, and they talked about everything from reproductive rights to the border to how this year’s race is different from 2022. If you want to check it out, you…

So what now?

John,   On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court reinstated a Civil War-era abortion ban. This law is beyond inhumane. It criminalizes doctors and doesn’t make any exceptions in cases of rape or incest. It’s a complete violation of a woman’s most fundamental rights.  Winning this November just became e…

This was a horrible week.

John,   On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a pre-statehood law that bans abortions in almost all cases. This law effectively means an end to abortions in Arizona.  Horrified doesn’t begin to cover how I feel. This law was passed in 1864. Before Arizona was a state and before women could vo…
