Let's take back Arizona, yeah?
Election Day is Every Tuesday: July 20-26, 2026
July has been pretty quiet, when it comes to elections, but this week is the Arizona Midterm primary and, if you live in Arizona you know how important this primary is — especially in local races which are non partisan.
Arizona is a very purple state and this is the moment voters have a chance to really change things for the better. In Marana, Chandler and Mesa especially. And then South Tuscon progressives are facing some pretty heavy opposition from Republicans.
There’s so much at stake in Arizona, so I hope, if you are registered there, that this guide can help. Cause we gotta make sure we vote in every single election and take back this country one race at a time.
As always, we begin with…
