The Math is not on McSally and Schweikert’s side.

by

Last month (June 2019) Congressional District Six Representative David Schweikert commented that the Mathematical odds on his reelection prospects are on his side. That may be wishful thinking on his part. The release of the second quarter campaign contributions reports from the candidates running for office show that the math, as of now, is not … Read more

Democrats need to hold Republicans to account for Trump, Barr, and the Oligarchical Reactionary Policies they represent.

Tell the state Senator McSally do you agree with Attorney General Barr in his assertion that the President asking former White House Counsel Don McGahn to change his story about the removal (firing for those who do not get that removal means the same thing) was “not a crime.” Tell the residents of Congressional District … Read more

10 Great Reasons to Support Mark Kelly’s Run for AZ Senate

by

Let’s face it, there is no such thing as a “good” politician. But those who come to the dark art of politics later in life – those who are forced into the immoral world of politics out of a genuine, and often desperate necessity for change – are our best hope. Those who spend most … Read more

Congress member Kyrsten Sinema is the odds-on favorite to beat the gaggle of wacky Republicans, including mean Joe Arpaio, kooky Kelli Ward and seldom-seen Martha McSally for the US Senate seat for Arizona.

Sinema spoke at the Democrats of Greater Tucson and was poised, intelligent and articulate. “I launched a campaign for Senate to cut through the chaos and dysfunction in Washington and finally get some stuff done. The enthusiasm on the ground is like nothing like I’ve seen before. Our campaign is building a statewide team we’ll need to reach voters who are more motivated than ever to make a change,” she said.

Sinema is a three-term Congresswoman from the 9th Congressional District in Phoenix, first elected in 2012. A member of the Democratic Party, she served in both chambers of the State Legislature, being elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2004 and the Arizona Senate in 2010.

She has a compelling personal story of growing up homeless in a gas station. Saying, “I knew I could make it if I got a good education,” she went to BYU with the help of student loans, academic scholarships, and financial aid, and then ASU, where she now teaches Legal Issues in Social Work.

“I am a product of the American dream. And my way of paying my debt to society is public service.  It is my commitment as a United States Senator that I will continue to do the work as I have done to be accountable, to listen even to people with whom I disagree, and to make best decisions in the best interests of my community,” she says.
