Thank you.

John,  The voters have made their decision and we must respect it. I will not be the next Representative for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District.  While we came up short, I couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve put in.  From donors to volunteers to staff to my family, we’ve all made sacrifices t…

Our deadline today

Hi John,  I’m still neck-and-neck with my opponent in the race for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District. Everything is on the line.  Today is the last day we can cure lawful ballots — so our team is working around the clock.  To make sure every lawful vote is counted fairly and securely, we need…

We can’t give up yet — we need your help

Hi John,   We knew from the start that this would be an incredibly close race.  In 2022, we lost by just a percentage point after being outspent 6:1. This cycle, we gave it our all to make sure my opponent couldn’t drown out our campaign with his millions in dark money.   We decided to spend everyt…

Too close to call!!

John, our race is still too close to call.  Kirsten is neck-and-neck with her extremist Republican opponent — but there are still thousands of lawful ballots that need to be counted.  Together, our grassroots campaign overcame millions of dollars from super PACs supporting our opponent. Arizona v…

THERE’S STILL TIME

John, we’ll keep this as quick as possible. If you haven’t voted yet, THERE’S STILL TIME! If you know someone who hasn’t voted yet, THERE’S STILL TIME! Polling places don’t close until 7pm — so get out there and vote! Vote! Vote! ➡️ Find a polling place near you➡️ Find a ballot drop box near you (…

Happy Election Day!!

John, it’s Kirsten. Happy Election Day!! We’re going to spend every minute today knocking on doors and getting folks to the ballot box, but I wanted to reach out one last time. This is a critical election. There’s too much at stake, and it’s up to us to use our voices to fight for what matters.  …

Pics from this weekend

Hi John,  Did you catch the Getting On the Road and Out the Vote AZ-06 Tour this weekend?  Together, we traveled over 650 miles to every corner of the district, making 15 stops across all 5 counties. We talked to voters about what’s at stake and got our supporters fired up for Election Day! It was…

One of the last times you’ll hear from me before the election

Hi John, it’s Kirsten.  This weekend, we traveled all over as part of our Getting On the Road and Out the Vote #AZ06 Tour. It was amazing to experience the energy and enthusiasm in the field. Voters are fired up and ready to flip this district blue!  Now, it’s onto Election Day. None of us want to …

My plans for AZ-06

Here’s the truth, John. I’m a bit of a nerd.   I’ve spent years as a lawyer and professor studying the environment and public policy in the United States. In the Arizona State House, I immersed myself in Arizona’s water policy and learned as much as I could about our programs for veterans, seniors,…

BIG ENDORSEMENT

John, big news!  The biggest newspaper in Southern Arizona just endorsed Kirsten.There are a lot of reasons Kirsten is the obvious choice over her opponent, Juan Ciscomani.  Here’s what the editorial board highlighted: “[T]he difference lies in Ciscomani’s deep opposition to abortion and his conc…

Only two days to go...

I’m sorry, John.   I’m sure your inbox is full of campaigns asking for your support, and I hate to add to it.   The truth is that fundraising is one of my least favorite parts of running for office. But when every extra dollar raised could be the difference between winning and losing, it’s too impo…

National Park Tour Guide

Before I ran for Congress, before I served in the Arizona legislature, before I taught at the U of A (Go Cats!), before I worked as an environmental lawyer cleaning up contaminated waste sites and holding corporate polluters accountable — I worked as a National Park Ranger. Hi John, We have three da…

Our eleventh-hour endorsement could make a huge difference

Hi John,  There are just three days until the election — and this race is closer than ever.  On Thursday, Inside Elections became one of the countless outlets to upgrade our race from “Tilts Republican” to “Tossup.” On Friday, the Arizona Daily Star — Southern Arizona’s largest newspaper — endorsed…

We know the truth

John,  Juan Ciscomani and his super PAC allies are flooding our TVs trying to paint a certain picture of who he is: a moderate who “trusts women” and will fight for Arizona.  We know the truth.  Juan Ciscomani served on the board of the Patriot Academy for 14 years. It’s a Christian nationalist o…

Our hard work is paying off

John, There are just four days until the election — and we’re not going to stop working for a second.   Here’s why: just yesterday, Inside Elections upgraded our race from “Leans Republican” to “Tossup.”  Our hard work is paying off. This battleground seat is more in play than ever. Now, we have to…

Feeling anxious?

Hi, it’s Kirsten.   First, John, I want to say thank you.   My team just wrapped up our last fundraising deadline of this whole race. We have been pushing really hard to make sure we have the resources to flip this seat blue — and you’re an integral part of our effort.   So thank you, truly, for ev…

Sorry to reach out late — but our race just got upgraded.

John, this morning, Inside Elections upgraded our race from "Lean R" to "Tossup."  It's another sign of how different this race is from 2022.  Two years ago, no one expected our campaign to succeed. We were underestimated and counted out — and by Election Day, we had been outspent 6:1.   The odds w…

1 text from Wes

I want to be transparent, John. We’re at risk of being seriously outspent in this race. When this happened in 2022, we ended up losing by a tiny margin — just one percentage point.  We set a big fundraising goal for October, but we’re falling short during the most critical point of this campaign. M…

Counting every dollar

Hey John,  I’m Wes, the Finance Director for Engel for Arizona. And right now, I’m counting every dollar coming in the door.  Tonight is our last fundraising deadline of this whole campaign. We set a huge goal — because we’re too close to the election to play it safe.  Will you help us flip AZ-06 b…

We don’t want things to get ruff!

Trick or treat, John!  The last day of October is here, and at Engel HQ, I’m making sure we’re keeping our eyes on the prize: lots of attention and pets from trick-or-treaters! And, of course, my mom’s final fundraising deadline tonight.   She has until midnight to hit her goal — to make sure her…

One day left

Hi John, it’s Kirsten.   I know we're all busy right now, so I’ll keep this brief.  We have one day until our last end-of-month fundraising deadline and six days until the election.  To win this race and help take back the House, we have to hit our fundraising goal. Together, we can fight for what …

Battleground district

Hi John,  It’s Mark Kelly. I know you’re hearing from all sides right now about how important this upcoming election is. Arizona is a central battleground for control of the House, Senate, and the White House. My friend Kirsten is running for one of the most flippable House seats in the country rig…

No one expected us to succeed

I’ll be frank, John.  No one expected our campaign to succeed in 2022.  We were underestimated and counted out — and by Election Day, we had been outspent 6:1.   The odds were stacked against us. But we outperformed all expectations, coming within a percentage point of winning.   That’s because vot…

Playing politics

Kirsten’s opponent, Juan Ciscomani, talks a big game on the border. But his record is clear, no matter his photo ops and political posturing. We’re in a border district — and we’re doing everything we can to make sure voters know that Ciscomani left Arizona behind when it came to border security.…

Sorry to email so late

As Election Day gets closer (just one week to go!), I’ve been thinking about our race in 2022.  By this point two years ago, our people-powered campaign had been outspent 6:1. We were scrambling to cut through my opponent’s out-of-state money to reach voters with our pro-choice, pro-water, pro-democ…

There’s one week left (!!)

John,  In one week, thousands of voters in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District will drive to their polling stations, file into a voting booth, and fill out a bubble for either Kirsten Engel or Juan Ciscomani.   We have just one week to reach those voters and ensure that when they go to fill out …

It all makes a difference

John,  We’re exactly one week away from Election Day! Polling has shown Kirsten is one point ahead of our opponent, Juan Ciscomani — but that could all change in this last week. Ciscomani has corporate interests pouring millions into our district. Will you help us keep up by donating now? We’re a…

Hopeful numbers

John, This is a toss-up race. That means it will likely take days to count all the ballots, and we won’t know the winner on election night.  But early voting has already started, and we’re seeing really hopeful numbers with the ballot returns.  It’s not just that more Democrats than Republicans hav…

Hi 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.  You can help us come out on top by rushing a donation now. Our last fundraising deadline is just three days away >>  The mar…

Hiding who you are

With Halloween four days away, John, I know a lot of us are scrambling to finalize our costumes.  One person who doesn’t need to worry is Kirsten’s opponent, Juan Ciscomani.  Because when Ciscomani is back home in our district, he likes to act like a moderate.   But when he’s in Washington, he sho…

No one wants to make these decisions

Hi John, it’s Alia. I’m Kirsten Engel’s Campaign Manager, which means I’m in charge of making the hard decisions about how our campaign spends money. Here’s the truth: we’re proud to be running a grassroots campaign. Kirsten doesn’t accept a dime of corporate PAC money, and we wouldn’t want it any …
