There is only one way to end the disappointment, frustration, anger, and hopelessness that many Pima County Republicans feel right now. We need a win. Of course I want to see a win in our U.S. Senate race and our state-wide races, and I want to stop the government spending and overreach of the Biden administration; but my focus is Pima County. There are 14 other counties in Arizona with amazing Republican Chairmen who will do their part. We must do ours. I hear from a lot of people about what has happened in the past. We can’t fix that. What we can do is put steps in place to win in November 2022, and we have been doing just that!

We still have a lot of work to do to elect our Candidates, and we are off to an amazing start. We are always looking for new ideas, volunteers, fundraising and candidates. There were 207,758 people who voted for Donald J. Trump for President, and 207,317 people who voted for Martha McSally for Senate in 2020 in Pima County. We know you are out there. It’s time to go to work. We need a win.
