The Biden/Harris Campaign is Alive and Well in Arizona

To all the naysayers out there that feel the Biden/Harris Campaign does not appear to be on all five cylinders in Arizona:

Wrong again apparently.

This is evidenced by two developments over the last four days.

First, the Biden/Harris Campaign opened their eleventh field office in the Grand Canyon state in Tempe on Saturday, July 13.

The event headlined by U.S. Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano, Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Arizona Campaigns Athena Salman, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison highlighted the stakes in this election if the MAGA-Trumpist Party, headed by the 34 time convicted, twice impeached, and liable for sexual assault former President, equipped with the Republican version of Mein Kampf/The Handmaids Tale: Project 2025, is allowed to prevail this November.

From a Biden/Harris for Arizona press release, Giffords, the victim of an assassination attempt in 2011, stated:

“I’ve known the darkest of days. Days of pain and uncertain recovery. But confronted by despair, I summoned hope. My recovery is a daily fight, but fighting makes me stronger. America needs all of us to speak out, even when you have to fight to find the words. We can act. We can protect our children, our families. We can vote. We can be on the right side of history. Please join us in this fight.”

Chairperson Bejarano commented:

“We know that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans see Arizona as a testing ground for election conspiracy theories and denialism. Voters across Arizona will face a stark reminder of why they rejected Trump and MAGA Republicans in 2020 […], and we will continue to reject them. Our Democracy depends on Arizona voters coming out to protect America by voting for President Biden.”

Bejarano, along with State Representative Stacey Travers, and Roman Ulman from AFSCME Arizona Retirees, also appeared at another Biden/Harris earlier today (July 16) in a counter narrative prevention to the Republican National Convention on MAGA-Trumpism and Project 2025.

At this event, the Arizona Democratic Party Chairperson said:

“Donald Trump has everything to do with Project 2025. Project 2025 was written almost entirely by his former officials, and Trump even recently shouted out a Project 2025 author at a rally, promising to ‘bring [him] back’ in a second term. If he wins, there is no question Trump will use it to push his Project 2025 agenda.” 

Representative Travers offered:

“As a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, I served my country to protect the very freedoms that are now under threat. The right to women’s bodily autonomy, the right to feel safe out in public, the right to have our say in who will represent us and our values in government. Our future depends on Arizona voters coming out to protect America by voting for President Biden and Democrats who are fighting for working people up and down the ballot. We must stay strong and stay the course on the vision we have for America’s future. President Biden and Democrats must win in Arizona.”

Ulman relayed:

“Arizona has received historic infrastructure and manufacturing investments that have created thousands of jobs across our state and retirees across Arizona will see their prescription costs go down because of the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 has called for the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act which would wipe out thousands of high-paying jobs and raise prescription drug prices. Working families and retirees can’t afford another Trump presidency”
