Thank you, we did it together

Hey John, I have some exciting news that I wanted to be the first to share with you. We reached our ambitious $10,000 end of month goal and we had our biggest fundraising month to date — all thanks to you. Our grassroots team is constantly moving us forward and helping to fund this ca…

Our opponent is raising money for the Kenosha shooter

John — Our opponent has reached a new low. Our opponent, Joe Arpaio's apprentice who embraced all that was wrong in the previous administration, has firmly planted himself on the wrong side of history by headlining an event to raise funds in support of the Kenosha shooter. DEFEAT J…

Preparing to defeat Jerry Sheridan

John, We’re facing our first end of month deadline since our Republican opponent was named. Now that our opponent, Arpaio’s former chief deputy Jerry Sheridan, is past the primary, he’s got his eyes on defeating Sheriff Penzone in November. As Arpaio’s chief deputy, Sheridan was also h…

11 weeks to go

John, Earlier this month, we learned who our opponent will be for the general election — Arpaio’s former deputy chief, Jerry Sheridan, who has his own record of abuses in office. Now that our course is set for November, we need to make big investments in our campaign and voter outreac…

Our latest hiring numbers

John, When I was elected Sheriff In 2017, I knew we needed to find solutions to make MCSO the valuable community resource it should have been all along. And that is exactly what we did. This past year, we increased hiring by 60%. Maricopa County is one of the largest and fastest-growi…

12 weeks

John — 12 weeks. There are only 12 weeks to go until Election Day, when Maricopa County will make a choice between moving our community forward or returning to the abuses of the past. Navigating our response to the pandemic and ensuring public safety have come first and foremost in my…

Will you endorse Sheriff Penzone, John?

John, We email you a lot about raising money, and we do it because campaign funds help us get Sheriff Penzone’s name and message out across the county. But ultimately, this race is going to come down to votes, so today we’re asking for your help in a different way. John, will you endo…

We have our opponent

John, The results of this week’s primary election are in, and we have our opponent — Jerry Sheridan. Jerry Sheridan proudly served as Arpaio’s chief deputy, where he upheld and enforced the culture of cruelty, fraud, waste, and relentless bigotry that plagued that administration. A f…

Each and every dollar counts

John, We're right up against our end-of-month deadline, and I want to update you on where we stand. Our team set a goal of raising $15,000 before the end of the month. I know that sounds like a lot of money — but when we’re up against Joe Arpaio and his out-of-state donors, each and e…

Reducing recidivism

John, As dialogue and debate surrounding the U.S. criminal justice system persist around the nation, I want to discuss the pervasive problem of recidivism. Too often, former inmates are thrust back into society with no support or resources, leading to high rates of inmates relapsing in…

Arpaio’s dangerous campaign stunt

John, you’re not going to believe this: DONATE TO DEFEAT ARPAIO Amidst a global pandemic that is hitting Arizona hard, Joe Arpaio is ignoring the advice of health experts and rolling out a campaign bus to meet with voters in person. You really can’t make this stuff up. Marico…

COVID-19 could send more foster care kids into homelessness. We're working to stop it.
