I’m running for Congress in one of the most critical districts to taking back the House

  Hi John, My name is Jonathan Nez, and today I’m officially launching my campaign to become the next Congressman for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District  – one of the most critical districts to win to take back the House. As a man driven by faith, family, and love, my campaign is…

NEW: Our “Accountability Summer” tour

I’m talking to Arizonans across the state about how they’ll be impacted.   John — Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress rammed through their Big Ugly Bill, which is now officially law. Americans across the country will lose their health care. Jobs and food assistance tha…

My story. Our fight.

  Hey John — I wanted to take a minute to tell you a little bit more about myself, but if you’re short on time today, I’ll cut to the chase: Will you consider making a contribution to help us continue this work? I got my start in politics thanks to my mom. She immigrated to this co…

Epstein cover-up

  John, Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and this corrupt administration are leading a massive cover-up to protect the ultra-wealthy. Despite their promises to release the full list of Jeffrey Epstein’s former clients, Donald Trump and his administration are now blocking the release of that…

A scam

  School vouchers are nothing more than a scam to send our tax dollars to give the wealthiest families in the country a coupon for a low-cost, expensive education. And now Education Secretary Linda McMahon and House Republicans are trying to push this scam at the national level. We …

It isn’t hyperbole, this law will kill people

  I want to make it clear, John: the Big, Ugly Bill that was unilaterally passed by Republicans and signed by Donald Trump will be disastrous for our already broken healthcare system. More than 365,000 Arizonans will be kicked off their healthcare outright, and thousands more will l…

Disappointed, but not surprised

  Hey John — I want to start this note off with gratitude. Americans from all over the country made their voices heard and flooded my office (and, even more importantly, the offices of my colleagues across the aisle) with phone calls, letters, and messages demanding that we put a st…

Quickly

  We’ll make this quick, John.  Yassamin is hard at work fighting to make life affordable for everyone, ensuring that communities across Arizona’s Third Congressional District are safe, and holding Republican leaders accountable for their authoritarian agenda — but that doesn’t leav…

Cheaper housing:

  Recently, at our town hall, an Arizonan stood up and asked me, “How are you planning to advocate for federal policies that support cities like Phoenix with affordable housing policies?” Housing affordability is one of, if not *the* most important issues that affects my constituent…

What’s next? Accountability.

  Donald Trump has signed the big BS budget bill into law and the question that has been on everyone’s mind is, what’s next? I want to remind you, John: the most important thing that we’ll do in the coming weeks is hold every single Republican that voted for this disastrous bill acc…

Where things stand

  John, will you give me a moment to share where we’re at? We’ve hit the halfway point of 2025, and setting our foundation for the rest of the year is critically important. One-time contributions are really crucial to help us meet deadlines like the one we just passed, or during big…

Extreme heat

  Extreme heat is dangerous, and, in Maricopa County, too often deadly. But it’s something Yassamin is laser-focused on addressing. Yassamin is and will continue to be a climate champion. Whether it be through her work on the Phoenix City Council to establish the city’s first heat o…

House Republicans just sold the American people

  Republicans just passed Donald Trump’s budget bill that will be devastating for everyday families — and cheered while they did it. I voted NO, John, for the 365,984 Arizonans who are just trying to make it, and are now at risk of losing their healthcare under this disastrous budge…

We just need four Republicans to stand up and oppose this bill

Here’s what I want you to know:

  Yesterday was exhausting, but I’m truly full of gratitude to those of you who tuned into my reading of Republicans’ budget bill at the United States Capitol. This bill would be devastating to so many communities across the country, and Arizonans will feel the impact of Republicans…

This is really disturbing

  Again, Laura, I’m an agnostic woman who was born in Seattle and raised in Arizona. It’s disturbing how comfortable Laura is throwing racist attacks my way in an age where political violence has become normalized by right-wing extremists. It’s disturbing how comfortable right-wing…

10 hours in

  John, 10 hours in, and Yassamin is STILL speaking at the U.S. Capitol. Since 8 o'clock this morning, Yass and supporters have been reading the full text of Republicans’ disastrous budget bill to shed light on the devastating impacts it will have on the American people. Yassamin’s …

Yassamin is on her way to the Capitol, here’s why

I’m sure you’re getting a million emails

  Hey there, John — this is the last time I’ll reach out before our FEC deadline passes. I know you’re probably getting a lot of emails right now, so I’ll make this quick. Will you make sure you're on our list of supporters by pitching in any amount right now? You can use this link:…

Laura Loomer’s attack was racist, John

  Our team’s live reaction to right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer’s X post targeting Yassamin last week: (Here’s the post, for reference:) Not only was Laura completely out-of-pocket with that post, but this disgusting hate speech (which she doesn’t believe in????) incites…

a personal ask

  I’m Maxwell Frost, first Gen Z member of Congress. Yassamin said I can reach out, because I have a personal ask, John. I just checked in with my finance team, and even though we only have two days until our End of Quarter deadline, we’re still short of our goal. That doesn’t work …

Just another reason this budget is BS

  Need another reason to despise Republicans’ Big BS Bill? This one is big: this bill threatens over 90,000 jobs nationwide, including thousands of jobs here in Arizona. Here’s how: The clean energy tax credits that were baked into the Inflation Reduction Act allowed for clean energ…

Stop the steal 🌄

  Public lands should be for public use, John. But Donald Trump and the GOP want to sell places like THIS off to Big Oil’s highest bidder: Places like Kaibab National Forest should be for the public to enjoy, not for Big Oil and developers to destroy. We're so thankful this provisi…

Another red eye

  Another long week ahead, another flight back to DC from the west, John. This past week was a hard one, I won’t lie. From the assault on a Senator rightfully demanding answers from this administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security, to the heartbreaking assassination of Melissa …

This is personal.

  John — Three years ago today, the landscape of protections for reproductive care and abortion access was fundamentally changed by the Dobbs decision. A right-wing majority on the U.S. Supreme Court overturned decades of precedent that protected access to care nationwide, and, in t…

With a B.

I refuse to sit by silently.   Billions, John. With a B. That’s how much Big Oil spent to buy a president and a Republican majority willing to sell our environment to them. And that’s how much taxpayers have paid to subsidize non-renewable energy sources all while we deal with more e…

Beth, Vicki, Richard, and John

We want to let you in on a secret.   John, Yassamin doesn’t take corporate money. We’re serious: unlike some members of Congress who accept millions of dollars from corporate donors, this team is fueled by $5 from Beth in Phoenix, $10 from Vicki in Glendale, and $35 from Richard in M…

As the first openly trans member of Congress, I knew there would be times like this

I’ve never felt alone because I have people like you standing with me.   Hi John, it’s Congresswoman Sarah McBride.  Right now, the GOP is using LGBTQ+ people as pawns. They’re not offering solutions to make everyone's lives better. Instead, they’re busy launching attacks — on our r…

Red eye
