Big FAT NO on Petersen. Mayes has been fighting the fascists.. I’ll vote for her.
Mayes has:
• Protected federal funds Arizona depends on
• Helped block cuts or elimination of federal programs (AmeriCorps, FEMA resilience funds)
• Pushed back on federal enforcement that impacts Arizona communities
Open Season on Law Enforcement? Vote Kris Mayes .. For me,... ANYONEbut Kris Mayes.
Mayes has TDS and can only go after President Trump for bogus stuff.
