Stakes

Hi John, Multiple outlets are now calling our race a tossup. In Congress, Kirsten will fight to lower the cost of living, pass common-sense gun safety laws, protect Arizona’s water security, invest in good-paying jobs, and defend reproductive rights.  In Congress, her opponent has slashed clean ener…

This changes everything

It’s been a big week, John.  On Wednesday, End Citizens United put Juan Ciscomani on their list of the Most Corrupt members of Congress — thanks to the hundreds of thousands of dollars he accepts from corporate donors and the millions of dollars poured into this district by his dark money super PACs…

You don’t want to top this list

John, End Citizens United just announced their list of Congress’s Most Corrupt Members — and Juan Ciscomani is at the top. Running against Ciscomani means taking on the super PACs and corporations who back him. We’ll need your grassroots support to flip this seat blue in November. With just a week l…

Millions of dollars in dark money are pouring into our district

John,  My team just called to let me know that Mike Johnson’s PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund, reserved almost $6 million in ads in our district. They’re desperate to protect Juan Ciscomani’s seat — and they’ll throw as much money as they can into this race to make that happen.  We’ll know mo…

Our water future

Hi John,  When I was in the Arizona legislature, there was one issue I took extra care to prioritize. Water.  Arizona’s population is rapidly growing — but our water supply isn’t. The Colorado River is drying up, and we must plan for the future.  Solving this problem requires collaboration — across …

We need your help to take back the House majority.

John,  There are a lot of different ways we can describe how competitive this race is.  Here are a few:  ✅ In 2022, Kirsten lost to her Republican opponent by just one percentage point. ✅ This is one of the only districts in the country that Biden won — but has a Republican representative. ✅ The DCC…

John,  This is the most competitive race in Arizona — and one of the most flippable seats in the whole country.   With the election coming up fast, our campaign has been working hard to build up our support, get out into the field, and connect with voters. This spring, we also qualified for the ball…

John, Thank you. In a race as competitive as this one, the only way we can win is together.

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.
