climate champion

Friend, this summer has made it very clear that that climate change has arrived in Arizona (and the rest of the country). Our state has seen nonstop scorching temperatures the last couple of months. This heat isn't just a short term threat — it's also done serious damage to our already-low water sup…

Hi friend!  We've been busy this summer talking to voters, attending events, and building the groundwork for a winning campaign. We're a grassroots powered operation, and none of this would be possible without your support. I wanted to take a moment to share some shots from the campaign trail. Check…

This is ridiculous

The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition about an 1864 law that would jail doctors and ban virtually all abortions. Abortions are already banned after 15 weeks in Arizona. Women are being forced to travel out of state and spend thousands of dollars to get the medical care they need. A…

Hi friend,  As the subject line of this email may have given away — we want to take a moment to say thank you. The grassroots energy we have in this race is incredible.   Last year, we were outspent 6:1, with Republican super PACs pouring money into our race. But thanks to small dollar donors, gener…

Friend, I'll keep this brief.  We're already being called one of the House races to watch for 2024. This district is one of the few toss-ups in the whole country — and control of the House will hinge on us.  I don't have a primary opponent. That means that my campaign's only focus, every day and wit…

Friend —  At the end of this email, I'm going to ask you to chip in to support my campaign. But first, I hope you'll give me a chance to explain why this race is so important. Right now, Republicans have a small majority in the House. It's not much, but it's allowing them to block all forward progre…
