A moral and constitutional reckoning

  The escalating violence of ICE agents in Minneapolis and the murder of Alex Pretti just weeks after Renée Good is a moral and constitutional reckoning for our nation. These aren’t isolated incidents, John — it is a reflection of the fascist and authoritarian Trump regime. We have …

One year ago

  One year ago this week, Donald Trump was sworn in and began his second administration. In the 52 weeks since, we’ve seen nothing but chaos and corruption coming from this authoritarian administration. He’s allowed ICE agents to use violence to terrorize our communities and threate…

Today we’re officially launching our re-election campaign to continue fighting for Arizona’s 3rd — if you’re with us, will you become a founding donor today?   2025 was stark reminder, John — progress isn’t handed to us, it’s built by people who refuse to give up. From day one, Donal…

ICE just murdered an American citizen

  John — we’re just one week into 2026 and we’re witnessing a murder carried out by ICE. This morning in Minneapolis, a woman was killed after being harassed by ICE agents. Not only did they fire the bullet that took her life, ICE agents also allegedly blocked her from receiving med…

Trump is abandoning Arizona

I talked with MS NOW about how the Trump administration is abandoning Arizona's fight against drug cartels.   John, It's Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. As you may have heard me say before, Arizona is the fentanyl funnel for America. More than half of all fentanyl seized in this…

Cook Political Report has rated our race as a toss-up

  John — The Cook Political Report released its first ratings for the new election cycle, and Arizona’s governor's race is a toss-up. I won’t sugarcoat it: we know winning re-election or not will come down to just a small number of votes. We flipped Arizona by just 0.7% in 2022 — on…

A few thoughts for you, if you have a minute
