Kari Lake Releases Statement on Arizona Supreme Court Abortion Ruling

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 9, 2024

Phoenix, AZ – Following today’s Arizona Supreme Court’s abortion ruling, Kari Lake released the following statement: 


“In addition to covering the state of Arizona as a fair and honest journalist for 27 years, I have traveled to every corner of this state on the campaign trail. I speak to more Arizonans than anyone and it is abundantly clear that the pre-statehood law is out of step with Arizonans. 

I am the only woman and mother in this race. I understand the fear and anxiety of pregnancy, and the joy of motherhood. I wholeheartedly agree with President Trump — this is a very personal issue that should be determined by each individual state and her people. I oppose today’s ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support. Ultimately, Arizona voters will make the decision on the ballot come November. 

As your Senator, I will OPPOSE:

– Federal funding for abortion 

– Federal ban(s) on abortion

As your Senator, I will FIGHT FOR:  

– Baby Bonuses

– Making adoption more accessible and affordable 

– Strengthening the economy so that Mothers can AFFORD a baby 

– Protecting IVF 

– Extending the child tax credit 

– Paid family leave

– Investing in childcare

I am not going to D.C. to legislate an issue that has been returned to the states. I am going to D.C. to secure our border, strengthen our families and help President Trump Make America Great Again.”

As Arizona’s next United States Senator, Kari will seek a federal declaration stating that finding new sources of water for the West is an economic and national security issue that needs to be a top priority.

We can’t kick the can down the road anymore. Arizona needs a problem-solver with long-term solutions to the problems that have been plaguing our state for decades. That’s what they’re going to get with Kari Lake.”

Ruben Gallego’s Radical Record on the Border

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 18, 2024

Ruben Gallego is scheduled to hold a photo op press conference at the border today, but let’s take a look at this record that has led to the humanitarian and national security crisis facing Arizona communities today:

– Gallego said: “There is no “national emergency” coming from the border.”

– Gallego called the border wall “stupid” and “useless”

– Gallego co-sponsored H.R. 748, the Safeguarding Sanctuary Cities Act of 2017

– Gallego voted for the Build Back Better Act. If signed into law, it would have granted amnesty to an estimated 6.5 million illegal immigrants, even being called the “largest mass-legalization program for undocumented immigrants in history”

– In February 2023, Gallego called Title 42 ineffective on a virtual town hall with Indivisible. Furthermore, in a 2021 letter signed by Gallego, members of Congress urged the Biden Administration to end Title 42 

– Gallego said securing our border is a “misguided scheme”

– Gallego said sending more troops to the border was a “misuse of funds and manpower”

The Lake Campaign Released The Following Statement:

“Ruben Gallego has been in Congress over a decade and has done nothing to secure our border. In fact, he’s done more to make this crisis worse.
