Received this e-mail today from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in support of Rep. Ruben Gallego’s (D. AZ-07) potential U.S. Senate campaign:

When U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema announced Friday that she’s switching her party affiliation from Democrat to Independent , we immediately started laying the groundwork to replace Sinema in 2024 with a real Democrat who will side with working families.

One possibility who can't be ignored is Iraq War veteran Congressman Ruben Gallego -- an outspoken progressive and a longtime critic of Kyrsten Sinema. Gallego is still deciding whether to run.

Chipping in to Ruben Gallego's campaign right now will show him that if he runs for U.S. Senate in Arizona in 2024, he'll have lots of grassroots support from progressives -- and ensure that if he DOES run, he'll be able to start his race strong. Can you make a donation today?

National news media from Roll Call and The Hill to the New York Times is covering our push to replace Kyrsten Sinema with a real Democrat in Arizona:

Grassroots activists recognize that Sinema’s not interested in helping Democrats get things done for working-class Arizonans because, as says Stephanie Taylor, a cofounder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, "Her constituency is Wall Street."

The Hill: Sinema throws curveball into Arizona’s 2024 Senate race (12/11) By Julia Manchester

Stephanie Taylor, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said in a statement that Sinema has "no constituency in Arizona among Democratic, Republican, or Independent voters....She should join her friends on Wall Street in 2024, and Democrats should nominate someone truly on the side of the working class who can unite and win Arizona," Taylor said.

Common Dreams: Momentum to 'Replace Sinema' Already Building After She Ditches Dems (12/12) By Jessica Corbett

Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, told The Hill that "she should join her friends on Wall Street in 2024, and Democrats should nominate someone truly on the side of the working class who can unite and win Arizona."

Arizona proved in 2020 and 2022 that real Democrats can win statewide. Starting today, we can start winning in 2024.

Can you show Ruben Gallego that if he runs, grassroots progressives will be ready by donating here to his campaign and our work to elect a real Dem in Arizona?

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
