Races for 2022 statewide offices taking shape
Arizona is sitting somewhere between keeping the 2020 election alive and preparing for the 2022 election, where all statewide executive offices will be on the ballot as well as a U.S. Senate seat.
D.C. statehood would advance criminal justice reform
When our senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, contemplate D.C. statehood this year, criminal justice reform may not be top of mind. But D.C.’s disenfranchisement continues a standard of democracy only for some. The Americans who live in D.C. deserve statehood, and their voices and experience would benefit all of us.
Sinema, Kelly should take ABC Test out of PRO Act
There’s no question that the pandemic has presented everyone with countless challenges this year. For parents especially, trying to juggle virtual learning and child care with a job has been an unprecedented challenge of its own.
Arizona’s senators must reject Biden’s latest radical nominee
We are counting on Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly to do the right thing and put Arizona’s interests over politics and loyalty to Biden and Majority Leader Schumer.
Vets thank Kelly
On behalf of Arizona’s veterans and military families, thank you Senator Mark Kelly for delivering results.
Environmental Justice Makes Return to EPA
Our notion of the common good calls us to be in solidarity with those impacted by climate change while avoiding the temptation to pass this problem along to future generations as a result of our own neglect or narrow interests.

Arizona’s Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Mark Kelly will be lauded as heroes if they can persuade their colleagues to change the ABC Test to the IRS Test. Failing that, voting no would be the only way to prevent potential disaster for independent contractors in Arizona and across the country.
D.C. statehood a racial, voting rights issue
When our State Senate considers D.C. statehood, they should treat this issue as a necessary and substantive pro-democracy reform rather than giving it the cursory and partisan treatment that the House did. If this issue comes up in the U.S. Senate, I hope Sens.Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly will recognize D.C. statehood for the racial justice and voting rights issue that it is.
Sinema, Kelly should vote against Biden’s mass amnesty plan
We are no doubt heading into months of debate over how to reform immigration. Fortunately, Sens. Sinema and Kelly both have reputations for constructive bipartisanship and prudent border policies.
Ducey accuses Biden of creating border crisis
Surrounded by Republican politicians, Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday insisted that everything that is now going wrong on the border is the fault of President Biden, his administration and the Democratic Congress.
Former Nogales mayor announces bid for governor
Former Nogales Mayor Marco Lopez launched his bid for governor with a request to "join us'' -- and a highly partisan jab at Republicans.
U.S. House Takes Step to Restore Voting Rights
In Arizona and across the nation Republican politicians are engaging in a power grab – they are actively working to suppress the vote and discriminating against minority communities to stop regular people from having a say. Now is the moment to make the changes needed to restore our democracy.
