I'll make this quick, I promise

  I promise to keep this short, John. Can you pitch in any amount to help me keep up with the millions of dollars already being spent to try and defeat me? Our end-of-year fundraising deadline is just weeks away, and your support is absolutely crucial to responding to the attacks …

JD Vance is coming to Arizona

The White House is ALL-IN to try to defeat Katie.   This just in, John: Vice President JD Vance is coming to Arizona this month to headline a major MAGA political conference — an early sign that the White House is ALL-IN to try to defeat Katie: Donald Trump has made Katie one of h…

This is what it means to run in a toss-up race

  Hey, it's Katie. Congrats — you’ve made it to the end of the week! Before you log off, I have a personal request: Will you chip in your first donation to my re-election campaign? As we get ready to enter the election year, my GOP opponents are gearing up for a bruising three-wa…

I will not give up on our country

It has given me too much, and I’ll never be able to repay that debt. I still believe in our democracy, our values, and our Constitution.   John, If you can believe it, things didn’t stop when Trump called for my hanging. It didn’t stop with the threat of a court-martial from Pete H…

Republicans are trying to restrict voting. Again.

  John, Republicans are trying to undermine voting rights in our state. Again. A group of Arizona legislators recently introduced a constitutional amendment that would almost entirely eliminate early voting by mail in Arizona — which is how over 75% of Arizonans cast their ballots…

Elise Stefanik is wrong for New York

While I’m working to deliver for New York families, Stefanik is delivering for Trump.   John, I’m going to tell you about what we’re up against.  Donald Trump has handpicked Elise Stefanik to run for Governor of New York. From supporting harmful tariffs that raise your grocery pri…

Do you have a moment, John?

  Hey John, it's Katie. Sorry if it got lost in the shuffle over the holiday weekend, but I'm reviewing responses to our recent priorities survey, and I don’t see yours yet. In a toss-up race like this, hearing directly from supporters like you truly goes a long way in helping us …

Apologies in advance...

  Hey John — I know it’s getting late, but I wanted to catch you one last time before our midnight fundraising deadline. There’s no doubt about it: Arizona is a swing state. We’re home to some of the closest races in the country, and this team is no stranger to tight margins.  Next…

It shouldn't work this way, but it does.

  John, it’s Katie. Thanks for opening this message. It means a lot. I wish it didn't work this way, but running in a toss-up race like this one — where national Republicans will spend millions of dollars against me — means that I need to reach out and ask for donations more than …

You know it, we know it

  Look, John. You know it, we know it: You get a lot of fundraising emails. We don't like them either. Neither does Katie. Believe us, fundraising is the least favorite part of Katie’s job. But here's the thing: In 2022, Katie's race for governor was the most expensive in Arizona'…

wish I didn’t have to write this

  Hi John, it's Katie Hobbs. I know the last thing you want right after Thanksgiving is to read another fundraising email. Believe me, I wish I didn't have to write one. But in a toss-up race like this one, there are no days off. Earlier this month, an Emerson College poll showed…

The Department of War is coming after me:

You can bet this was ordered by Donald Trump and carried out by Pete Hegseth. But right now, that's besides the point.   It's Mark Kelly. The Department of War is coming after me because they don’t like what I have to say. When I was 22 years old, I swore an oath to the Constituti…

Winning in a state like Arizona can’t happen without everyone stepping up.

Buckle up before you read this.

  Here are some real things Andy Biggs has said and done, John.  You’ll want to buckle up for this. After Donald Trump called last week for Senator Mark Kelly to be hanged, he sided with Trump — and accused Senator Kelly of stoking political violence. In an op-ed, he called Trump…

A few thoughts for you, if you have a minute

In 1990, during Desert Storm, I was stationed on the USS Midway. I flew 39 combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait. I had a missile blow up next to my airplane, I was shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire.   Hi John, it's Mark Kelly. It’s been a weird few days.  In 1990, durin…

This is serious business.

John, my story is a little different from most politicians
