I wanted to take a moment out of my day to say thank you.

  John, it’s Katie Hobbs. First, I want to say thank you. I really mean it when I say that folks like you are critical to my campaign's mission to win re-election, prevent a MAGA takeover in Arizona, and secure another four years of results for families across our state. We could…

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, Earlier this week, Donald Trump called for Senator Mark Kelly and other veterans who serve in Congress to be hanged. Yes, you read that right. It was an abhorrent threat of political violence — the kind of stuff that everyone, regardless of party, should unequivocally cond…

President Trump is calling for me to be hanged

  Hi, It's Mark Kelly. President Trump is calling for me to be hanged.  I put out a video, alongside veterans of the military and former members of the intelligence community. It had a simple message: If you are serving in the military, you have an obligation to refuse illegal ord…

John, my story is a little different from most politicians

  John, Zoom out for a minute, and you’ll realize a lot of politicians have a similar story: Grew up wealthy. Went to an Ivy League school. Law school, maybe. Benefited from a lot of connections, ran for office. My story is a little different. I grew up in a working-class family …

Off a cliff

  Last month, we officially launched Katie’s re-election campaign for governor of Arizona.  The momentum was incredible. Thousands of people chipped in to help us reach voters across all 15 counties and mount an unstoppable defense against attacks from Katie's GOP opponents.  But …

If you're waiting for the right moment...

  You might not believe it, John, but if you're looking for the best time to make a contribution to Katie's re-election campaign, it's right now.  Here's why: Right now, Katie is up against THREE GOP opponents. Two of them have been endorsed by Donald Trump.  Over the next eight m…

File this under “Reasons why Andy Biggs would make a terrible governor of Arizona”:

  John, File this under “Reasons why Andy Biggs would make a terrible governor of Arizona”: Let this sink in: Andy Biggs is running to become the next governor of Arizona, all while trying to kick Arizonans off of their healthcare. That means no more protections for people with p…

I love hiking

  Today is one of my favorite days of the year, John: It’s National Take a Hike Day! Hiking is one of my favorite activities. Not only is it a great way to get moving, but it’s also the perfect excuse to explore all of Arizona’s beautiful parks and trails! Just like a hike up Pie…

The full weight of the National Republican establishment is against me

Don’t scroll away yet:   Sorry to add another email to your inbox this weekend, John, but before you stop reading, I want you to know why I'm asking for your support: Arizona is going to be THE battleground state of 2026, and with Donald Trump making me one of his top targets, ther…

Before midnight

  It's Katie Hobbs. I'm asking you to make a donation before our mid-quarter fundraising deadline hits at midnight. Look, I know it's not the best time to be asking for a donation. I get it. Before I was governor, I put myself through college and graduate school. Even after I was …

Trying something a little different

  John — we'll be honest. We’re not where we’d like to be as we’re approaching our mid-quarter fundraising deadline. So we wanted to try something a little different. We’re only asking for $5 today, and if you give us a moment, we’ll explain how important your contribution is toda…

Katie Hobbs is TIED with her GOP opponents

Katie can win this race — but only with your help.   This is urgent, John: A new poll shows the Arizona governor’s race in a statistical TIE between Katie and her three GOP opponents. This is a toss-up race, John. Katie can — and will — win re-election next November, but only…

We’re not waiting until “election season.” We can’t afford to.

“On paper, Arizona seems like a red state”

The refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva is part of a pattern for MAGA Republicans

  By now, you probably know that GOP Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who was elected by the people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District more than six weeks ago to represent them.  MAGA Republicans are blatantly ignoring the wil…

You simply can’t make this stuff up.

It doesn’t need to be this way
