Dear YavDem Supporter,
My message this month is steeped in the great American principle of self-governance. As citizens, we are obligated to participate one way or another in our democratic Republic. One option we have to engage in self-governance is to run for public office: government OF and BY the people. The Yavapai County Democrats and I are calling on you to consider a run for office.
Considering a run means contacting our office at either 928-541-0413 or info@yavdems.org to learn how the process can work for you. There are several races within the cities and unincorporated areas of Yavapai County that will be on the 2024 ballot.

Dear YavDem Supporter,
Yavapai Democrats are benefitting from the elections of Governor Hobbs, Secretary of State Fontes, States Attorney Mayes and others.
Governor Hobbs has rolled out her progressive agenda and has made it clear she will use her veto power to prevent regressive Republican bills from becoming law. We can expect reforms to public schools that include increased funding, easing of the statewide housing crisis, the resolution of border issues in a humane manner, the securing of women’s reproductive rights, and preservation of our water resources, while calling for bipartisanship. YavDems are working alongside the governor to realize this hopeful vision for the state.

Dear YavDem Supporter,
Trumpism is dead—or is it? Yes—America, Arizona, LD 1, and Yavapai County said NO to Trumpism and his troop of election deniers, anti-democratic authoritarians, and radical Republicans.
LD 1 voters in this scarlet-red area delivered consequential votes for democrats Kelly, Hobbs, Fuentes, and Mayes, who will move into offices that will assure the 2024 election is protected from Republican anti-democratic shenanigans. But does this mean an end to the authoritarian movement led by Republicans? No, it does not.

Dear YavDem Supporter,
Democrats across the country, in Arizona, and Yavapai County rallied to stave off a “red wave” led by dangerously radical Republicans. Democrats presented the right message about key issues to counter the historical trend of the party in power losing significant ground in Congress. The nation’s Senate gained one more Democratic seat totaling 51, while the Democrats lost control of the House by only the slimmest of margins – 222R-212D.
