We could win everything - including my Congressional race

And what that would mean for our country   Hi Friend, President Biden will be remembered as one of the most consequential presidents in American history. And now we have Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party to be the next president! B…

Project 2025, Trump and the Federalist Society

The unholy trinity bent on destroying America   Hi friend, I'm not a believer in conspiracy theories. But I do know there is a concious, well-funded and years-long strategy by the GOP to reshape America based on religious nationalism, the theory of a unitary executive and the de…

Let's not forget what we're fighting for and against

The differences could not be more clear   Hi friend, We have choices in this election — we can panic, or we can take action; we can sit by or we can stand up; and we can play defense or we can go on offense! Frankly, I'm tired of this equivocating — it's time, as Democrats, that…

Multiple things are true at this moment

Why my race is key to one of them   Hi Friend, Several things have occurred over the last few days that lead to the following all being true at the same time — and the stakes couldn't be higher: 1) Political violence must be condemned in all its forms, whether that's violence d…

What does an utterly relentless campaign look like?

Let me show you what we've done.   Hi friend, This was the headline in the local Phoenix newspaper when I announced my campaign against MAGA GOP extremist David Schweikert. Ever since, I've been on a crusade to win this race, one that could literally decide if the Democrats ret…

This election is a binary choice

and my moral compass highlights the difference   Hi friend, This election is a binary choice - from the President's race to my Congressional battle against MAGA GOP extremist, David Schweikert. My moral compass points toward finding the goodness in people, being kind, caring fo…

These are the 5 chapters of the autocrat's playbook

And our country is under assault from all of them   Hi Friend, Throughout history, autocrats have used a very similar playbook to sow discontent, take power and eventually control the population. The five chapters from that playbook are now being used in America, and we are in …

Last day to meet our FEC quarterly goal

And why the last week shows the importance of my race   Hi friend, Make no mistake — this congressional race MATTERS. Just over the last week we've seen:   1) Supreme Court decisions that protect insurrectionists and traitors,  criminalize homelessness, and gut the ability of t…

3 days to the most important fundraising deadline

And 3 reasons to chip in today   Hi Friend, We’re just three days away from our June 30 FEC fundraising deadline, so I thought this was a good opportunity to share three reasons why this deadline is so important for our campaign. But first, I have to ask: will you please chip…

Our end-of-quarter deadline is 7 days away - and we can flip this seat!

This is, in fact, one of the very few competitive races in the country.   There are so many important races coming up in 2024.  None may be more important than my race against MAGA extremist David Schweikert in AZ. This was the 6th closest race in 2022, he's more vulnerable t…

My MAGA opponent just voted to restore a Confederate monument at Arlington Cemetery

Don't let the latest Supreme Court ruling fool you

They are still coming after reproductive and other rights   Hi Friend, Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and the Supreme Court's decision to allow for continued access to the birth control pill, mifepristone, is the right legal decision. But, on the same day as th…

If "It's the economy stupid," then my campaign has a great story to tell

And I will NOT let the GOP lie to the American people   Hi Friend, We've been told since President Clinton's campaign that "It's the economy, stupid!" Even now, polling shows that the economy is the #1 issue for voters. So, my campaign is going to be straight with the American…

I was asked about an assault weapons ban on TV

Let me be very clear on my position   Dear Friend, I've spent my life in the service of others, often helping those in their darkest hour. One of the reasons I'm running for Congress is that I refuse to accept what our society has somehow found acceptable — the almost daily vio…

I don't see what is; I see what could be

What reimagining a new America could look like   Hi Friend, I was recently doing an interview on a podcast and the moderator suggested I sounded like an idealist. They meant this as a compliment and, to me, an idealist is simply someone who envisions what "could be" and isn't s…

Trump is now a convicted felon - but the fight continues

We're in a war of propaganda and misinformation

The root cause of MAGA is clear and its part of the dictator playbook

Speaker Johnson shows up at Trump's trial and attacks our judicial system

Me and my opponent

This video explains everything about how we're different   Hi Friend, I've spent my life in the service of others. My opponent, MAGA GOP extremist, David Schweikert has only worked for himself. It's why he was found guilty of 11 House ethics violations and had to pay a $125,000 fine…

Do honor, integrity and decency matter anymore?

I hate to say it but the Supreme Court is corrupted

It's now crystal clear we are in the fight of our lives   Hi Friend, I was holding out hope that the U.S. Supreme Court would follow the Constitution and the laws of our nation and faithfully execute them — I was wrong. Given the recent arguments in Trump's immunity case, it is…
