When I see so many folks this fired up about flipping the state legislature, I know this is the year we can do it. LD16 is ready to elect Julia Romero Gusse, who's a veteran and a fighter who will never back down from doing the right thing for Arizonans.
Trump and Hegseth aren’t just going after me. They’re trying to chill the First Amendment rights of every retired veteran who served our country. That’s why I'm not backing down, because this fight is about all of us.
Gabby and I were lucky to get to know Dolores Huerta over the years. She gave the entire labor movement a unifying message of hope with "Sí Se Puede" in Phoenix in 1972, and her fight for farmworkers and working families made Arizona and our country a better place.
We need change in Washington, and that's why I've been traveling all across the country to help elect the leaders we need to win on November 3rd.
Working families are getting left behind, and they deserve fighters who will actually stand up for them and not just rich people.
🚨 Arizona: Today is the LAST DAY to mail back your ballot. If you can’t put it in the mail by today, you can drop it off at a dropbox or voting location until Election Day on November 3rd. Find your nearest voting location and make your plan at IWillVote.com/AZ.
So much to talk about heading into next week's election. Watch me on @TheView coming up at 11 AM ET on ABC.
Just over a week left to vote! Gabby and I already dropped off our ballots, so now it's your turn. Mail yours by Oct. 27 or drop it off by Nov. 3. Make your plan at IWillVote.com/AZ.

With just under 10 days to go until election day, New Mexicans are pulling out all the stops to elect a slate of inspiring candidates running to build a safer future for our kids and communities.
Mark and I saw this energy first hand in Albuquerque yesterday when we joined Senator @BenRayLujan and leaders from across the state in support of Democrats up and down the ballot.
I’m excited to continue working with so many determined champions.
What a day in Albuquerque with @BenRayLujan, @DebHaalandNM, and so many other great folks! New Mexico is lucky to have such tough fighters standing up for working families, and Gabby and I were proud to join them yesterday.

MAGA Republicans are counting on us to sit this one out. We're not going to let that happen.
Today, we kicked off our canvass with @RahmEmanuel, @CaptMarkKelly, and @AaronDFordNV to mobilize voters and fight for Nevada's future.
We're 12 days out. Every conversation matters. Every vote matters. Let's win this thing!

As a navy veteran @CaptMarkKelly knows a thing or two about keeping people safe.
He knows @AaronDFordNV been a fighter for keeping Nevadans safe and holding big corporations accountable. That’s why he’s secured $1.2 billion from opioid companies and sued Meta to protect Nevada’s kids.
As Attorney General, @AaronDFordNV never stopped fighting for Nevadans, and as Governor he’ll continue that fight to keep our communities safe and lower costs.

The 4th in the Nation Matanza Rally was a success! A huge thank you to our special guests, @CaptMarkKelly, @GabbyGiffords, and @VanHollenForMD, for joining us. It was a pleasure to welcome you to our great state!
And thank you to all the folks who came out and braved the rain!
10 days left to elect some of the most battle-tested fighters the Democratic Party has ever seen. From Georgia to New Hampshire to Arizona, the folks on the ballot this November are focused and ready to deliver. Let's get it done.
Veterans stepped up to serve our country, and they’re stepping up again to be the leaders Arizona needs this November. Folks like @Adrian_Fontes, Julia Romero Gusse, and @ElectWeinberg. Thanks to everyone who joined us!
AI is already changing the way we work, and Americans are worried about their future. We need to be ready for it.
My AI Horizon Fund will make sure big corporations aren’t the only ones benefiting, because AI should work for all Americans.
Too many young men don’t have good leaders and mentors to look up to. I introduced legislation this summer to help get our young men the role models they need to thrive.
It was great being in Virginia Beach to support @ElaineLuria. Elaine served our country for 20 years in the Navy and knows what it means to put service before politics. We need more people like her in Congress who will stand up for working families and get things done.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
This Administration is one of the most corrupt in history. Everything Trump does makes him and his rich friends even richer, meanwhile working Americans are still struggling to get by.
