I'm running a people-powered campaign that refuses to take a dime from Corporate Super Pacs or Lobbyists. In Congress I won't play political games. I'll listen to ALL of the residents of District 8.
The current "representative" . . .
Abe Hamadeh refuses to hold a single town hall to meet with his constituents and he doesn't even live in the district he supposedly represents!
The reason I'm running is that Arizona's District 8 deserves better! We deserve progressive leadership that listens, leads with compassion and puts families first.
People First.
Otherwise, just WHO ARE YOU REPRESENTING? . . . Abe?
Why I'm Running
Community Engagement
Connecting with constituents to understand their needs and priorities - This is something that has been sorely missing during Hamadeh's term. He has made it clear that he only represents the extreme right wing of his party and no one else. That needs to end.
I pledge to listen to the residents of Congressional District 8, take action on their behalf and bring common sense back to the community.
