Bourbon\, and BBQ! We were so darn pleased with the enthusiasm and energy at our last partnered Happy Hour with Vets Forward\, we decided to do another one with Arizona’s Legislative District 17 to focus on our fantastic slate of Democratic candidates for the Arizona State House and Senate in that district. Come and join us to meet these wonderful folks who are going to turn the Arizona legislature Blue this fall! \n\n\n\nPlease help us estimate our head-count for Brother John’s by pre-registering through Mobilize:\n\n\n\nhttps://mobilize.us/s/nmpzAj\n\n\n\nAttendance and pre-registration is FREE\, as always. This event would be a GREAT opportunity for you to personally hand a check to your chosen candidate or candidates\, so don’t forget your checkbook! Hope to see you there!” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: LD 17 Senate is an open seat with retirement of Republican Senator Vince Leach.

Lyon ran for a House seat in then-LD 11 in 2014. \n\n\n\nCurrent voter stats for LD 17: Dems 51\,352\, Republicqns 69\,636\, Independents 60\, 613.
