Do these issues hit home?

John, do you care about: * Shielding Arizona consumers from corporate greed and illegal price hikes? * Combating elder abuse and fraud? * Stopping foreign mega-farms from draining our groundwater supply? * Fighting back against MAGA's regressive agenda and destructive policies? Well, so do …

John, Our campaign is taking a big swing with the launch of our latest ad — Not Finished! Let me explain why this ad is so important and why we need your help in the next 48 hours to get it on the air. [ [link removed] ] The ad lays out the choice in front of Arizona this November. On my side: my…

Look at this new poll:

I want you to take a look at this new polling from AARP, John. [link removed] In a state that Trump won by 5 points, we're ahead by just 5% — that's dangerously close. Most swing voters haven't made up their minds yet about the midterms, so we can't take this lead for granted. Not for a second. W…

We're not taking the summer off

John, The dog days of summer are here. Families are squeezing in one last vacation. Parents are prepping for back-to-school. And with temperatures climbing well above 100 degrees here in sunny Arizona, politics is probably the last thing on anyone's mind. But days like these determine if races are…

I'm suing to stop a $110 billion merger

John, Paramount wants to buy Warner Bros. Discovery — the largest merger in Hollywood history. If it goes through, one company would control CNN, HBO, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Food Network, HGTV, and dozens of other channels Arizonans rely on. That's not competition. That's consolidation — an…

I just filed my third lawsuit against Trump's illegal tariffs

John, BREAKING: Earlier this week, I filed my third lawsuit against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs. This is the third time Trump has tried to force illegal tariffs onto Arizona's small businesses and families. I've beaten him in court twice already. And frankly? It's time to get angry. Here's wha…

10% are still undecided

John, I'll be straight with you: AARP just released the first poll of the general election, and this race is a coin flip. We're narrowly ahead — but almost 10% of Arizona swing voters are still undecided. That means this can still go either way. I've been here before. In 2022, I won this office b…

John, Since Donald Trump was sworn in, my office has filed 45 lawsuits against his administration. We sued when he tried to end birthright citizenship. When he froze federal funding that Arizona families depend on. When he tried to cut off SNAP benefits for nearly 900,000 Arizonans. When his admin…

What Warren Petersen would do in 2028

John, Last Tuesday, Republicans officially nominated Warren Petersen to run against me for Attorney General. I want to be direct with you about who he is and why he's dangerous. Warren Petersen spent years spreading lies about the 2020 election. He was a driving force behind the sham "audit" of M…
