About Mail-In ballots…
#Arizona
has had voting by mail in every election since 1992. It is safe and secure. It was first championed by Republicans in this state. Nearly 90% of AZ voters cast an early ballot in the 2020 general election. Nearly 75% cast an early ballot in 2024.

From our first interview to our last, Raúl Grijalva was unapologetically himself. More than two decades in Washington didn’t change that. I will always appreciate his kindness and his candor. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

On the one hand, it’s bad to turn the White House into a used car lot. But on the other hand, let’s not talk about how we are becoming a kleptocracy.
