Ready to vote out abortion extremists this November?
Grab some gear from our store, which helps us support candidates up and down the ballot that fight for abortion access:
And with that, Arizona’s 3 highest statewide offices are run by Democrats.
Thank you to every single voter who got us here. Now, we continue our work to move Arizona forward.
Congratulations

So
@KariLake
went on Fox News and likened herself to Marjorie Taylor Greene + Paul Gosar, 2 people who are on the record supporting white nationalist ideas.
That kind of ideology might be welcome with Tucker Carlson, but it’s not welcome in Arizona.
One gov candidate is waiting patiently for the results by running in a charity 10k.
The other candidate is running her mouth pushing lies on Fox News…
#chooseyourfighter
*record scratch*
Yup, that’s
@RealMarkFinchem
at the 1/6 insurrection. You’re probably wondering how he got there.
It’s quite simple. He’s a member of white nationalist group Oath Keepers and wants to overturn the 2020 election.

NEW:
@SenMcSallyAZ
is "telling her supporters that they could come up with more campaign cash to donate, if they just 'fast a meal.'"
Former Arizona GOP U.S. House and gubernatorial candidate: "It does feel like it's a little bit of an act of desperation."

We waited patiently for ALL votes to be counted accurately and now we are excited to congratulate Attorney General Elect
@krismayes
!
This race will head to a recount, but we are confident in her victory!
Arizona Democrats support a minimum wage increase for the prosperity of Arizona families. We will not give up on working families, who need us more than ever. Democrats should work together to get this done.
FACT CHECK: David is lying about not supporting the 1864 ban.
He's sponsored the Life at Conception Act which bans abortion nationwide and jeopardizes IVF three times: once in 2015, 2021, and again this year as a member of the House GOP Study Committee.
I do not support today’s ruling from the AZ Supreme Court. This issue should be decided by Arizonans, not legislated from the bench. I encourage the state legislature to address this issue immediately.
Governor Ducey opens his state of the state attempting to take credit for the monumental funding for broadband and infrastructure. Let's correct the record, President Biden and Arizona Democrats delivered that money to Arizonans.
🚨NEW TV AD 🚨
"The guy is an election denier. He has made it clear the rule of law doesn't matter."
@RealMarkFinchem
is too dangerous for Arizona, and for our country.
.
@katiehobbs
: "[Kari Lake] threw a tantrum outside of this building that lead to people in this building getting harassing and threatening phone calls. That kind of behavior is the behavior of a high school bully, and it shows that she doesn't have the temperament to lead."
The
@AZGOP
is desperately trying to call for unity because they know that their nominees offer nothing but lies and conspiracy theories.
Maybe they should have thought that before pandering to extremists.
Congrats
@Adrian_Fontes
on being our nominee for Sec of State!
We have a *slight* feeling you’ll be much more equipped to oversee our elections than insurrectionist Oath Keeper Mark Finchem (who apparently has blocked us).
Onwards!
Arizona families will not be safe so long as people like Wendy Rogers remain in office. We will not sit idly by and be complacent as she continues to endanger the lives of Arizonans and Americans.
Hate has no place in Arizona, and Wendy Rogers has no place in our State Senate.
1. It’s spelled T-U-C-S-O-N.
2. Tucson is over 60 miles from the southern border.
Please turn over the government to someone who knows how to use a map and/or spellcheck.
Arizona Republicans want to get rid of voting by mail, outlaw drop boxes, let Cyber Ninjas tell election officials who to kick off the voter rolls, and put poll workers in jail.
These are attacks on our democracy.
Congratulations Senator Elect Kelly!
Based on how much you accomplished in just 2 years, we have high hopes for your full 6 year term.
Arizonans continue to be in good hands.

@katiehobbs
is the only candidate for Governor who will respect our tribal communities and work in tandem with them to make Arizona better.
We’re grateful to our Native voters, like our friend with the Grand Canyon Ram Dancers, who are turning out with enthusiasm!
Four statewide election victories in 2018: U.S. Senate, Secretary of State, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Corporation Commission.
Arizona women get things done.
Arizona voters showed lawmakers their values by PASSING Prop 308 (in-state tuition for Dreamers) and REJECTING Prop 309 (discriminatory voter ID law).
People want an equal Arizona.
The
@AZGOP
state legislators should remember that when they return to session.
Just hours before taking an oath to do "impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws," here's how Arizona's unelected Senator
@SenMcSallyAZ
is handling a basic question about allowing witnesses, evidence, and a fair Senate trial
#azsen
Kari Lake is out with a new TV ad claiming to "tell the truth" about herself. But Lake has built her whole campaign on lies, half-truths and disinformation. Let's take a look at the real truth about Kari shall we? ⬇️ 1/6
The Arizona Democratic Party does not agree with the language used to publicize a 4th of July event happening in Tucson. We believe there can be room for both celebration and criticism. That is at the core of American freedom.

@DrPaulGosar
in November!

Economists have compared
@KariLake
's and
@katiehobbs
' economic plans. The verdict? Kari Lake’s plan would be like putting "jet fuel" on a fire. Katie Hobbs’ plan would lower inflation and put Arizonans back to work.
#AZGov
Just a reminder that Rep. Mark Finchem, a Republican candidate who wants to run our state elections, is a member of the extremist Oath Keepers. The same group whose leader was just charged with seditious conspiracy.
Republicans have controlled this state for over a decade, and it's gotten us here ⬇️. Vote for your Democratic candidates to finally get much needed change. (Sources in thread)
Turns out bashing our military, calling women who get abortions demonic, and praising the Unibomber doesn’t sit very well with the people of Arizona 🤷🏼♂️
Actually
@KariLake
, Arizonans across the political spectrum trust our elections, thanks to the hard work of
@katiehobbs

What they don’t trust is YOU.
"Why do you keep saying that?"

presses Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona Kari Lake about her claims on the campaign trail that there was election fraud in the 2020 election.

#CNNSOTU
Maricopa County Recorder applauds
@Adrian_Fontes
and Maricopa County's administration of the 2020 election.
We repeat for those in the back: the 2020 election was the most secure election in history.
.
@KariLake
’s embrace of her white nationalist, anti-Semitic friends like Wendy Rogers and Steve Bannon will undoubtedly cost Arizona business, job growth, and values.
The truth is that
@marthamcsally
has repeatedly voted to let insurance companies charge higher premiums to people with pre-existing conditions.
And McSally is standing by a lawsuit to eliminate coverage protections entirely.
Get the facts:
#azsen
Bills are a good way to tell what a party’s priorities are. AZ Republicans have introduced 100+ voter suppression bills. Democrats have introduced bills expanding access to education, addressing Arizona's water supply, and enhancing worker’s rights. Actions speak loudly.
When democracy called,
@katiehobbs
and
@Adrian_Fontes
answered. In their roles as Secretary of State and Maricopa County Recorder, they stood up to the lies and baseless attacks coming from the MAGA Republicans.
As our Governor and Secretary of State, they'll do it again.
We defended democracy and won.
A judge has ruled AGAINST the
@AZGOP
shameful lawsuit to try and end early voting.
This is what we can accomplish together.
FACT CHECK: Juan is lying about respecting a woman's choice.
His endorsed budget supported banning abortion nationwide including access to IVF & he co-sponsored H.R 7, leg that prohibits using gov subsidies to purchase insurance plans that cover abortion.
We’ve got 5 days to show the world that Arizona is a place for truth, decency, and democracy.
We will not let extremists take over our state and run it into the ground.
#VOTEBLUE
Congratulations Secretary Elect Fontes!
@Adrian_Fontes
You have been such a steady voice for Arizonans and we have no doubt you will serve them well. The votes of every Arizonan will be safe under your leadership.
Kari, a man was arrested this summer for threatening
@katiehobbs
.
The Republican Yavapai County Recorder resigned because of death threats from members of your party.
As someone who wants to lead an entire state, you should be condemning this, not making light of it.
.
@RepRubenGallego
introduced a bill to stop foreign governments and companies from stealing Arizona’s water.
Just another example of Democrats putting Arizonans first.
And now, the Cyber Ninjas and
@FannKfann
are refusing to provide their procedures as was ordered by the court on Friday. They want to conduct their sham audit with no transparency or accountability.
Conspiracy theorists are running the show at the AZGOP.
#fraudit
ICYMI: Arizona Dems filed a lawsuit to stop AZ's GOP-backed audit, citing concerns about constitutionality and privacy. The company running the audit—Cyber Ninjas—has never completed a ballot audit before and is owned by a Big Lie conspiracy theorist.
Up until today,
@KariLake
’s extreme abortion position was maybe the only thing she was honest about.
Now that she’s realized how harmful and popular that position is, she’s resorted to lying about her record, just like everything else.
🎉VICTORY: Congratulations Mayor
@TucsonRomero
for winning relection!
Mayor Romero made history when she won her race in 2019, becoming the city's first Latina Mayor. Mayor Romero has been a champion for the environment & for creating economic opportunities for all Tucsonans.

@Adrian_Fontes
is a former Marine, experienced elections official, and wants an AZ where democracy belongs to the people.
@RealMarkFinchem
is an insurrectionist, Oath Keeper, and wants to take power away from the people.
We must elect
@Adrian_Fontes
for Secretary of State.
Mayors in cities across Arizona have sounded the alarm about
@KariLake
’s economic “plan.” Kari disregards and tells them they’re wrong.
Our cities know what’s best for them, and we need a Governor who will LISTEN and understands when someone may know better than they do.
NEW: The Arizona Democratic Party is launching Project 15/30, a year-round, statewide organizing program that will work in all 15 counties and 30 legislative districts. Grassroots organizing is critical to winning up and down the ballot in 2022 and beyond and we're starting NOW.
Blake Masters closes out the same way he began: By pretending to be someone else and trying to hide his dangerous ideas from Arizonans.
There’s nothing he won’t do or say to get elected, but Arizona won’t fall for it.
This election took all of us. Every corner of the state, every community, every vote. We've still got work to do, but we must celebrate these victories and continue to support each other.
President Biden on governors trying to block mask mandates in school: "We're not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators for protecting our children."
Ronna, Tim Scott & crew said this was about “election integrity.”
Then, why the hell is a Jan 6 insurrectionist involved in a fraudulent effort to recount ballots in AZ?!
These folks will lie, steal & cheat to gain power & we will do everything we must to stop them!
🚨ALERT:
@TheDemocrats
and
@azdemparty
plan to SUE Arizona over a new voter purge law that empowers third parties to disqualify voters from the rolls, arguing that the law violates due process rights under the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions.
The
@AZGOP
candidates asking for your vote now are the same ones who have been pushing to throw out the votes of millions of Americans and Arizonans for the last 2 years.
Grifters gonna grift 🤷🏼

She has been doing the work of turning Arizona blue for years, and her passion and love for this state has never wavered. To know her is to love her. We are proud to be in this fight with you! 💙

@katiehobbs
on why people continue to question the 2020 results: "Because political leaders like
@KariLake
continue to mislead them. She is not running for the people of Arizona. She is running for herself and the former president."
People like Paul Gosar (aka
@KariLake
) would rather engage in party posturing than be honest with you. They lie to your face just to score political points. Let’s elect leaders who can put politics aside so we can help our communities.
