This campaign isn’t about one person. It’s grandparents. Veterans. Young people. First-time volunteers. People who have never knocked a door in their lives. People who decided this election was too important to sit out. There’s room for you, too. 💙 #NurseLee4AZ

The gap is closing in AZ-05. New internal polling shows @nurselee4az.bsky.social within the 3.4% margin of error as more voters join the movement. This seat is winnable. Donate, volunteer, and tag a friend to help us keep the momentum! #NurseLee4AZ #AZPol app.sosha.ai/s/BQI0F9tC

#MarkLamb 's American Dream is on a ranch in Tennessee. Ours is right here in CD5. We need a representative focused on our neighbors and our district. That’s why we’re supporting @nurselee4az.bsky.social

When asked about his $2M Tennessee ranch, Mark Lamb called it "living the American dream." In a state that’s not Arizona. In a district he’s not running to represent. CD5 deserves someone actually doing the work here: @nurselee4az.bsky.social

10 days until the primary! 🗳️ I’m running for Congress because I am tired of watching politicians debate the problems Arizona families are forced to live in real time. Washington needs fewer career talkers and more leaders who know how to listen.

Ballots are out. Being "experienced in the system" isn't the flex establishment candidates think it is. Winning in CD5 as a Dem would mean a wholesale rejection of business-as-usual and corporate PACs. Falling in line isn't courageous—it's just the status quo.

True leadership means showing up when things get tough & doing the hard work of building coalitions. 🤝 Our campaign is proud to be backed by a broad coalition from healthcare to labor because they know that's how we actually get things done in D.C. Let's bring collaborative change to Arizona.

Why am I with Elizabeth Lee for CD5? Simple: she shows up. Elizabeth is building a real, diverse coalition right here where we live. She isn’t a detached insider; she’s a leader focused entirely on us. Don’t stay on the sidelines—get involved and let’s put @nurselee4az.bsky.social to work for CD5!

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

this entire opinion is really remarkable, and Judge Young calls it exactly like it is when it comes to ICE hiding behind masks. We must not tolerate such an insidious assault on who we aspire to be as a nation.
