Yay! I Qualified Clean Elections Funding! Thank You for Helping!

There might be some journalistic rule against three exclamation points in one headline, but I’m excited.

On Monday, I submitted 249 $5 Clean Elections Qualifying Contributions and 750 signatures to get on the August 28, 2018 primary ballot and on the November 6, 2018 general election ballot. Thanks so much to everyone who canvassed with me, who signed my petition, who donated seed money, and who donated $5 to Clean Elections to support my re-election campaign.

If you have paper petitions or still want to sign my petition, you will have a chance in May. I know that I have volunteers out there with petitions; don’t worry. I plan to turn in additional signatures before the May deadline.

I love the Clean Elections system. I use it because I believe that big money politics has corrupted our election system. I see big money politics in action everyday. At the Capitol, bills are routinely brought forward that benefit one donor or one corporation. That is not fair to the people of Arizona.

It is a significant amount of work to collect hundreds of $5 donations, but Clean Elections funding frees me from making hours of fundraising phone calls to rich donors. My focus, as a Clean Elections candidate, is on connecting with and serving the voters.

For updates from the Capitol and from the campaign, watch this blog and my Facebook page. Check out my (almost) daily video blog from the Capitol here on Facebook and here on YouTube.

Onward!

Thank you!
