This GOP Super PAC just broke a record

Hi John,  Last week, Kirsten debated her Republican opponent.   While she was clear about her plans to protect reproductive freedom, prevent the flow of drugs through our border, and bring down costs for Arizonans — he continued to dodge questions about his voting record and ties to Patriot Academ…

Three weeks!!

John,  I can’t believe I’m writing this — we’re just three weeks away from Election Day.  We’re working around the clock to make sure that AZ-06 flips blue on November 5th. If there was ever a time to donate, it’s now — as we gear up for our last big push. Can I count on you to make a grassroots d…

It's a critical moment in our campaign

Hi John,  Last week, I had my second — and final — debate against my opponent.  It was a critical moment to reach AZ-06 voters, because the next day, early voting started in Arizona.  Just like in our previous debate, my opponent was on the defensive.   He said he supports border security, but he …

Ciscomani abandoned our border community

John,  When Kirsten was in the Arizona legislature, she was willing to work with anyone to make progress on what mattered most.   She reached across the aisle to work on criminal justice issues like drug treatment programs and improved prison oversight — because she knows that people come before p…

How it started…

And how it’s going! Hi John, For me, this is how it started: scooping ice cream and giving tours as a Park Ranger to pay my way through school while studying the environment and law. Here’s how it’s going: I’m running in one of the most competitive Congressional races in the country. We’re 25 …

It's getting harder to reach our supporters

Hi John,  Voting started this week in Arizona.  The election isn’t on November 5th — it’s here, now. This is one of a handful of House seats around the country with the potential to flip from red to blue. It’s why we’re working around the clock, and why Republican mega-donors are pouring millions …

Why I got personal on the debate stage

John,  I remember how angry and heartbroken I was when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Like so many of us, I immediately knew that women would suffer because of this cruel, inhumane ruling — and that Republicans would let it happen.  Juan Ciscomani, on the other hand, cheered when the de…

Kirsten is about to step onto the debate stage

Hi John, we urgently need your support.   Kirsten is about to step out on the debate stage. And if you’ve caught any debates this year, you already know — Republicans are willing to stretch the truth however they need when they’re up there.   Juan Ciscomani will try to claim he trusts women to mak…

We could be in trouble

John, new Republican spending could mean trouble for our campaign.  Today, the House GOP's main super PAC posted a record-breaking Q3 haul of $81.4 million. And they named our district as one of their top targets for all that new money. We have to fight back. Can you chip in now to help us take on…

Talking lower costs — in English and Spanish

John,  The rising cost of living is an undeniable problem in Arizona. But when we talk about it, we have to keep in mind one of the root causes: corporate greed.   I wrote an article breaking down soaring costs, their causes, all of the ways I plan to address this issue in Congress, and all of the…

There are just 30 days to go.

John, It’s October 5th — which means we have just 30 days until the election.  We are all hands on deck here at Engel HQ. Super PACs and corporate interests are pouring millions into supporting my opponent’s campaign, and polling has shown us just barely in the lead. We can’t risk falling behind …

Who would you trust with your future?

Hi John,  In many ways, Arizona is ground zero for climate change.  As weather patterns become more extreme, we face extreme heat, wildfires, loss of biodiversity, and drought.  Kirsten has spent her career working to address climate change and protect Arizona’s water security. When she was in the…

It’s simple: we will win because of your support.

Where Ciscomani’s checks are coming from
