John: If there’s one thing we learned from 2018, it’s that small dollar donations can change how politics works and who it works for. According to The Intercept, “First-term Democratic members relied less on corporate donors in the 2018 midterm elections and raised higher percenta…

  John, Yesterday, it was found that CVS Caremark was cutting reimbursement rates for mail order birth control pills. What does this mean? It would increase the cost of this service, making it out of reach for tens of thousands of people. This move directly affects those who are di…

  Dear John, It’s back to school season already, and we are so excited about the students who are coming on board to help power our grassroots campaign. Having so many students willing to invest their time in our movement is inspiring, especially when you consider the lengths they …

  John, We need to tell it like it is: thanks to bi-partisan inaction of the past decades we are in the midst of a climate crisis which qualifies as a national emergency as described in this proposed joint resolution to Congress. Without pushing for massive investments to retool our…

  John, Today is designated as World’s Indigenous Peoples Day. I would like to take time out to recognize Indigenous People around the world as well as the cultural richness that we here in Arizona’s First Congressional District are so fortunate to have.  For me, Indigenous People…

  John — it’s no secret we’re facing some of the most pressing crises that will end up defining our generation and the next. Climate, healthcare, income inequality, white supremacy, the list goes on and on. And while people in power continue to stall, failing to take proper action, …

  John — I have known Eva Putzova for more than 15 years. We met in a local hiking club and I know she cares about properly maintaining our beautiful landscapes. For a variety of reasons, we face challenges in Arizona, and the entire West, when it comes to wildland fire. In many fir…

  John, In less than a year from now, we will find out if all of our hard work pays off. August 4, 2020 is the Democratic primary election, in which votes will be tallied and one person will move on to represent our party in the 2020 November general election. While it might seem li…

  Hi John, My name is Trey. I’ve known Eva for years — not only as a member of our community, as a proud and respected Arizonan, as a progressive and honorable Flagstaff City Councilmember, but as someone with a warm heart who I’m so grateful to call a friend and ally to those who w…

  John, On August 2, 2017, ICE deported my little brother Frankie to Mexico. Escaping violence, my mom brought Frankie to Arizona when he was just a few months old. Flagstaff was the only home he knew. He was active in the LGBTQ+ community, cared deeply for his friends, family, and …

  Dear John,  I’m blown away by how you all stepped up for this campaign in time for our July deadline. I can’t thank you enough for the support you provide.  People power is the only way to beat back the systems that keep regular working people from getting ahead in this district …

  Hi John, Quickly touching base on our July fundraising numbers. First of all, thank you to the folks who have pitched in to give us an end of month boost. I am so grateful to you. As you know, we’re starting off as the underdogs in this race, but we knew that from the beginning. …

  John, Just a quick update on our campaign to bring change to the people of Arizona’s First. We’ve had an amazing month of outreach and coalition building, and we are so grateful for the support we are receiving. We’re gaining valuable momentum and we can’t stop now. We need to bu…
