John , thank you!

  John, Thank you. Earlier this month, my car broke down on the way back from a weekend full of canvassing across AZ-01. The repairs cost $7,000. After all the momentum we’d been building, this felt like a huge bump in the road. After all, Arizona’s First District is the 10th larges…

Will Tom O’Halleran denounce racist Stephen Miller?

  John, Yesterday, 107 members of Congress signed a letter calling for the immediate firing of Stephen Miller, a white supremacist and Trump’s top immigration advisor. Guess who HASN’T signed the letter? Tom O'Halleran, the current AZ-01 representative and my opponent. Miller is the…

Defense & regular people

  John, After last night’s presidential election debate, our electricity here in Northern Arizona went off briefly during our first winter storm. I realized we need to have a serious conversation about what defense means to regular people.  The power outage reminded me of something …

We are not afraid

  Hi John, This weekend, I had the honor to spend time with future members of Congress at the Brand New Congress Summit in DC. These are some photos from this inspiring and motivating weekend: We started off with 2-minute stump speeches (I won funniest speech). We are candidates w…

The most important choice of our lives

  John, We have two options: allow corporations to continue buying politicians, or step up, together, and support candidates who can’t be bought. With everything that’s happening under this disgraceful administration, it’s more important than ever that we go with the second option. …

John, something bad happened.

  John, We spent the weekend canvassing across our district—the 10th-largest district in the country. We use my personal car to campaign. On our way back from Kaibeto’s Chapter House on the Navajo Nation Sunday, our car’s engine died. The cost to replace? $7,000. We need to raise $7…

Veterans deserve more than a discount at Target.

  John, Today is Veteran’s Day, an important holiday to recognize all our military veterans have done for us. It’s also a day filled with sales and discounts to show “appreciation” for the people who serve or who have served our country. Because what says “thank you for putting your…

270 days until the weekend

  John, It may be Friday, but here at our campaign we consider our next weekend to be 270 days away. That’s how many days until the Aug. 4 primary here in Arizona, where I’m taking on the corporate PAC-funded incumbent, #TimidTom O’Halleran. Unlike him, we don’t take any money from …

This is important to me

  Hi John, My name is Gabby. I am 18 years old and from North Idaho. I’m so excited to work on this campaign because Eva’s message is important to me — People First. Growing up, I was never very interested in politics. If you told me that I would be studying political science as a m…

Politics over values

  John, The DCCC is playing games — AGAIN. On Oct. 17, the DCCC chair sent out a memo that included message guidance for incumbents on how to talk about impeachment. This came one the heels of new research, conducted by DCCC pollsters, about Democratic election chances in the face o…

Flash $5 by midnight!

  John, Thank you so much for the support you give this campaign!  We can only do this through people power, which is why I’m once more calling on you to help us get over the finish line before the clock strikes twelve TONIGHT at midnight.  Can you give just $5 by midnight tonight a…

John, I can’t do this without you!

  Hi John — Just checked in with the team. We're $2,000 short of our midnight deadline!  My opponent's war chest is overflowing with PAC money, so we REALLY can’t miss tonight’s goal.  It’s OUR time. It’s our moment. Now, we need to fight. That’s why I'm counting on you to help us …

John, we need $8,000 by TOMORROW

  John, Our campaign is 100% grassroots. We’re dedicated to serving people, not corporations. That’s why, unlike Tom O’Halleran, we don’t take any corporate PAC money. If you want someone with integrity who won’t sell out, please help us raise the $8,000 we need to meet our fundrai…

O’Halleran: Profit Over Health — a Halloween horror story

  John, Earlier this year, #TimidTom O’Halleran was one of 130 House Dems who didn’t support HR 1384 (Medicare for All Act of 2019), which had an impressive 106 co-sponsors. Why was that?  Because, in the fewer than three years he’s been in office, he’s received $141,600 from anti-h…

The Introvert Comes Out!

  John, I’ve been a supporter of Eva since she first ran for City Council in Flagstaff some years ago. She talked a good game, and once she was elected it was clear that she played a good game too. That’s what I want from someone representing me — someone who really fights for what …

URGENT: Halfway point

   John, Today is a special day for the campaign. We launched this people-powered movement 283 days ago, which means we are now halfway there, with only 284 days left until the primary election. We’ve built a lot in terms of our campaign infrastructure and field work, and it’s all b…

Missing in action...

It’s too urgent!

URGENT: Only 9 days left!

   John, I’ll get right to the point. We had a pretty big dip in our fundraising after the third quarter wrapped up. Right now, we need to raise $10,864 to meet our fundraising goals for October, and keep this campaign afloat.  We’re a 100% grassroots, people-centered campaign that…

O’Halleran: Not an ally to women!

  John, Arizona deserves a real champion of issues affecting women. Unfortunately, incumbent Tom O’Halleran isn’t the longtime advocate for women’s reproductive rights he purports to be. Before he saw the opportunity to ascend to Congress when he switched parties in 2015, O’Haller…

Wells Fargo

  John, In late August 2019, the Navajo Nation announced that it reached a settlement with Wells Fargo. Why? Wells Fargo had a long history of predatory and unlawful practices that targeted and harmed the Navajo people. They routinely misled customers into opening unnecessary accoun…

Making the world a better place

  John, I’ve been making phone calls for Eva for several months and helped host a house party for her last winter. I’ve been following her various campaigns and efforts for much longer. To me, Eva is a true candidate for the people. Why? Some of it stems from hearing about her upbri…

Courage to persist
