SB 1070 is back

John, In this photo from 10 years ago, we were ousting the author of SB 1070 and fighting it at the courts. We won in the courts and at the ballot box. Now, more than a decade later, Republicans are trying to bring that hateful bill back from the dead as HCR 2060. What the extremists didn’t learn is…

A leader on abortion access

Hi John, Here in Arizona, we recently scored a huge victory by repealing an abortion ban dating back to the civil war. But the fight isn’t over in Arizona, and it isn’t over in Congress.  That’s why Raquel is the ONLY candidate Planned Parenthood endorsed in this race: because she’s the ONLY candida…

How dad met mom:

Hi John,  My name’s Eddie. I’m Raquel’s husband. In a minute, our son EJ and I want to tell you about how I met Raquel and just how awesome of a mom she is. But first, I need your help. I convinced Raquel to take the day off and told her I’d handle fundraising for today. Can you chip in $10, or what…

Thank you, Mark

Hi John, If there is anything that Raquel has made clear about this campaign, it’s that it’s not about her – it’s about the many supporters, communities, and leaders that make up Team Terán. One of those leaders is our very own Senator Mark Kelly. Mark and Raquel have worked together for years and…

The most important endorsement...

John, Not to brag, but our campaign has earned some pretty big-name endorsements. Who, you might ask?  U.S. Senator Mark Kelly, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Congressman Raúl Grijalva, Councilwoman Laura Pastor... and that's just to name a few.  This much is clear: Raquel Terán is building the bro…

Why this race matters so much

Hi John,  We don’t have to tell you how much is on the line in November. The reality is the difference between a win and a loss could come down to less than a few thousand votes right here in AZ-03. To win, we’ll need you on our team >>If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Expr…

Raquel led the repeal of the 1864 abortion ban YEARS ago.

Hi John, Last week, the Arizona Democrats in the Legislature passed a repeal of the 1864 near-total abortion ban, and Gov. Hobbs already signed it.  But before Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban was making headlines, and before Roe was overturned by the Supreme Court, Raquel knew that our fundamental right…

“Unfortunately”

Hi John,  Did you see the news? “Unfortunately” the dangerous 1864 abortion ban isn’t being enforced on Arizona women and doctors - that’s what Kari Lake said. She’s running against our friend Ruben Gallego, and if she wins, Democrats will lose control of the Senate, and MAGA Republicans like Lake a…

14 years since S.B. 1070

Hi John, Today marks 14 years since those who would now be considered AZ MAGA Republicans signed S.B. 1070, the notorious “show me your papers” bill, into law in Arizona.  It allowed law enforcement officers to demand ‘papers’ and investigate a person's immigration status if they suspected a person …
