In a natural extension of my service since I was first elected to Congress, I have joined the growing numbers of Arizonans who reject party politics by declaring my independence from the broken partisan system in Washington and formally registering as an Arizona Independent. 1/3

We may not get to vote in primaries, but independents DEFINITELY help call the shots. Time to #RepealClosedPrimaries in PA -- because it's PEOPLE, not parties, that make up this state. #independents #MidtermElections2022

Having watch that thoroughly pointless and excruciating debate last night, I’m left wondering: is this the best PA can do? And, btw, would these be our two candidates if ALL voters could have voted in the primary? #repealclosedprimaries @Ballot_PA @OpenPrimaryUSA

Conor Lamb. Patrick Murphy. Rocky Bleier. There are a number of candidates the Democrats could have put up that would have been stronger against Oz. Especially in appealing to #IndependentAmericans.

The political duopoly receives public funds and uses public infrastructure to conduct their primaries, while excluding millions of qualified voters. Taxation without representation rings a bell... Especially so, since the majority of races are decided in a low-turnout primary.😥

The loss of our friend and band mate Marty Sammon leaves a hole in the soul of the Damn Right Blues Band. Marty was a father, a friend to many, and an incredible musician. We’ll always be thankful for the memories and the music we made together. - Team BG 📷 Roman Sobus – at Chicago, IL

Would you believe us if we told you that hundreds of thousands of vets are kept from casting their vote every year? It's true, @RepDowling. 400K vets can’t vote thanks to closed primaries. Thanks for calling for a vote on HB1369; please vote YES and give EVERY vet their vote.🇺🇸
