Today we were joined at the PCDP office headquarters by more than 70 volunteers and staff from Pima County Democrats, Mission for Arizona, and the Arizona Democratic Party!
Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped us launch this event so successfully! A special shoutout to our Volunteer Team Leaders Mary Ellen “Emi” Martinez, Chris Criley, Kathleen Edelman, and Margaret Lacey!
At 9am, we heard from AZ Democratic Party Chair Raquel Terán, Pima County Party Chair Bonnie Heidler, and Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick on the critical role of volunteers to turn out the vote in November. Now it is important for us to lay the groundwork so that when the right time arrives our efforts will efficiently turn out voters.

After hearing from our speakers, more than 20 canvassers launched from the office to go out and talk to Democrats about the midterms!

Then at 12pm the Arizona Democratic Party’s hybrid State Committee Meeting commenced. There were watch party locations all over the state, including here at the office where Democrats were invited to watch and participate.
During the State Committee Meeting, we also heard from Senator Mark Kelly and Britney Fonteno, the president of Arizona Planned Parenthood. They reiterated the urgency of what is happening throughout the country; the stakes have never been higher!
Finally, our Communications Director Shelly moderated a virtual Discussion 4 Democrats forum with Superintendent Kathy Hoffman. Superintendent Hoffman discussed the future of Arizona educators and took questions from the audience. You can watch the entire forum on our Discussion 4 Democracy page here.
With less than six months until the November election, today’s events re-energized Democrats all over the state! We are ready to buckle down and do the work that is needed. We ask that all Democrats in Pima County take a moment to think about how they can best support us, whether financially or through volunteering. Your engagement will increase the number of conversations that we have with voters in Pima County!
Watch our virtual sit down with Corporation Commission candidate Lauren Kuby; Sandra Kennedy was unfortunately not able to make it. Please make sure that you tell your family and friends to vote for both Commissioner Kennedy AND candidate Kuby this year!

LD17 Candidates need canvassers to collect enough signatures to make sure their names appear on the ballot! Want to help?
It’s simple: Just print out the signature sheets below (double-sided), collect signatures from your neighbors and people in your community, and then bring your signature sheets to PCDP Headquarters!
If candidates don’t get enough signatures, you won’t be able to vote for them in the upcoming election. Democracy needs choices, so do your part and help choose the candidates you want to see!
Every Saturday, from 10am – 1pm, petitions for all ballot initiatives and Democratic candidates will be available at PCDP to sign and/or circulate. All Democratic candidates are strongly encouraged to contact director@pimadems.org for more information on providing petitions.
