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 Eight and bring back the rule of law and due process to our country!
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!
Arizona's District 8 deserves better! We deserve progressive leadership that listens, leads with compassion and puts families first. Abe Hamedah voted to raise the deficit by 3 Trillion Dollars so that the ultra-rich could have a tax break, at the same time throwing millions of the most vulnerable Americans off of Medicare.
I will put the PEOPLE first. Not the eight richest billionaires in the country!
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.
