We have one week left.

John,  One percentage point.  It’s what Kirsten lost this race by in 2022. And it’s what polls are showing our campaign is ahead by now.  Just one percentage point.  This margin in this race is razor-thin — but the difference between Kirsten and her opponent, Juan Ciscomani, is bigger than the Gra…

Trump was at the border yesterday…

But we won’t forget who killed the bipartisan border bill — and who helped him. John,  Yesterday, former President Trump pretended he cares about securing the border. He doesn’t. And neither does his loyal foot soldier, Juan Ciscomani.  The Bipartisan Border Security bill was the most significant …

What I saw in Arizona classrooms

John,  Colored pencils and highlighters. Hand sanitizer. Books, from great novels to science textbooks. Desk chairs.   When we underfund our public schools, our kids end up in oversized classes with overwhelmed teachers — many of whom use their own money to pay for classroom basics.   As a mom and …

Mike Johnson is coming to Arizona to campaign for our opponent

John,  If the millions of dollars from Republican PACs didn’t make it clear, the GOP really cares about protecting this seat.  Our opponent, Juan Ciscomani, is a MAGA puppet who has consistently voted along party lines — to restrict abortion access, slash clean energy jobs, and attack Social Secur…

“unborn human beings”

John,  The Arizona Supreme Court seems to have it out for our reproductive rights.  In the spring, they reinstated a pre-statehood ban on abortion. This barbaric law criminalized doctors, made no exceptions for rape or incest, and was first passed in 1864 – before women could even vote.  This week…

Our incredible grassroots supporters gave everything they had, but we were outspent 6:1. In the end, we lost by just one percentage point — a smaller margin than …
