Arizona VOTER GUIDE
ONLY DEMOCRATS WILL PROTECT YOUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS.
If Republicans win, here’s what you will lose:
- Social Security and Medicare
- Pre-existing condition insurance coverage
- Birth control
- Affordable drugs and healthcare
- Voting Rights & Fair Elections
- Funding to fight Climate Change
- Birth control
- Safe, legal abortion, even for ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and rape
- Women’s freedom to make decisions about their own body
Your Freedoms are being taken away by Extremist Republicans.
Arizona is an increasingly Democratic but very gerrymandered state that needs your vote to correct the imbalance in the state legislature and end the Republican trifecta. Unfortunately, redistricting has favored the Republicans again so Democrats need to work twice as hard to get their voters to fight back.
HEALTHCARE
MAGA Republicans are planning to gut Medicare and Social Security. They are criminalizing doctors helping women with miscarriages. They will reverse the $35/mo insulin and block lower drug prices. Only Democrats are protecting Affordable Healthcare and pre-existing condition coverage.
ECONOMY
DEMOCRACY AND VOTING RIGHTS
81% of elected Republicans in AZ tried to overturn the 2020 election.
ENVIRONMENT
ABORTION AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS
Abortion is now banned in Arizona. Planned Parenthood and others have re-started providing abortion again but as they are defying the Attorney General, this may be temporary. The Arizona Supreme Court denied a ballot initiative to codify abortion and birth control in their constitution.
ALL REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR OFFICE believe there should be NO abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Most believe birth control should be illegal. Many have tried to scrub their websites because of the unpopularity of their extremist positions.
BIRTH CONTROL
Most Republicans in the state legislature have voted against keeping birth control legal. And, most Republicans running for office in AZ in 2022 believe birth control should be illegal. Many have tried to scrub their websites because of the unpopularity of their extremist positions.
Democracy
Republican state legislators are working on legislation to overturn the will of the voters; giving THEM the power to decide the outcome of elections regardless of the vote tally.
81% of elected Republicans in AZ tried to overturn the 2020 election.

AZ-LEGISLATION
AZ-Thwarting the will of the Voter
Republican legislators have ignored the will of Arizonans on a number of issues. Among those issues are the minimum wage, school funding, ease of voting, the ability of localities to tighten rules where appropriate, and the initiative process itself. This has been going on for a long time. Even the voter-initiated Arizona Voter Protection Act―passed in 1998―has not deterred Republicans; they have repeatedly ignored its provisions.
BACKSLIDING ON POLICE REFORM IN ARIZONA
The Republican-controlled Arizona legislature has voted down bills intended to increase police accountability and instead has passed bills further shielding police officers and departments from oversight and accountability. So, while most of the country is moving forward on police reform and addressing racist and excessive use of force, Arizona has been backsliding to even further shield police officers accused of unnecessary violence against the public they are supposed to serve.
