Campaign News

I’m blown away. Thanks to grassroots supporters like you, we met our May fundraising goal!

Whether you made a donation, shared our message on Facebook or Twitter, or just talked to your coworkers about us during lunch one day, all of your efforts help make us stronger.

You’re always there for us, and we’re extremely grateful.

Things are busy in Congress and home in Arizona, so I wanted to share with you a bit of what we’ve been up to. From meeting folks at Kyrsten in Your Community to competing in a triathlon to talking to the impressive young women in Girl Scout Troop 1472, we’ve kept on the move this spring.

It’s been a blast! We picked out a few of our favorite photos to share with you, so you could be a part of it, too.

Click here to visit Facebook and check out the photo album.

I’m hoping for the chance to be able to say “thank you” in person soon, but until then, I just want you to know that I’m as honored as ever by the trust you put in me.

Thank you, again,

Kyrsten

Tuesday is the last day of April, and the last day we have to meet our April fundraising goal.

We are only $2,387 away from hitting this goal. Can you help us make sure we hit this critical goal?

Challengers from the far right have already begun lining up to defeat our campaign in 2014. You and I know that their extreme agenda is not right for our district, Arizona, or the nation.

Please help make sure we have the resources to fight in 2014 by helping us meet our April fundraising goal before the deadline.

Thank you for your support,
Kyrsten

Our country has come a long way towards equality for all citizens, but there’s much more to do. We need to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act now.

Incredibly, it is perfectly legal under federal law to fire someone because of her sexual orientation.

Without a federal anti-discrimination law, LGBT Americans in 29 states have no protection from workplace harassment, being denied a promotion, or losing their job.

Please sign our petition to demand that Congress pass the bipartisan Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Read More »

Happy Earth Day!

I love Earth Day because it’s a reminder to take a moment and reflect on the natural beauty of Arizona. As Arizonans we are so fortunate to live in a place with such breathtaking natural wonders.

This bounty comes with a responsibility though, to be good stewards of the land and protect it for future generations. And fortunately one of the best ways to do that is also a great way to boost our economy, by incentivizing clean energy manufacturing in Arizona and the rest of the country.

Energy innovation is quickly becoming one of the world’s largest industries, and countries all over the world are purchasing billions of dollars’ worth of wind turbines, solar panels and other energy technologies. I want to see those products made in the United States and for our country to remain competitive.

That’s why the first bill I introduced in Congress was the Security in Energy and Manufacturing Act of 2013 (SEAM Act), which would extend the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit program. Read More »

Last night, a group of Senators from both parties released their immigration bill.

As an Arizonan, I am proud that our Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake took the lead.

But until Congress actually gets the job done, we don’t have much cause to be proud of anything. House Speaker John Boehner hasn’t even committed to bringing a bill to the floor for debate.

Please join me in telling John Boehner that we can’t wait for immigration reform. Read More »
