#BanDataCenters I've been against tax breaks for data centers and allowing them in LD19 from the beginning of my campaign. Will Gail Griffin support local efforts to ban data centers from Cochise, Pima, Santa Cruz, Graham and Greenlee counties?

Did you see it? My billboard in Sierra Vista, AZ. Thank you to all of my supporters who donated. Billboards are one way to get the message out in rural areas. Many volunteers knock on doors, address postcards and share candidate slate cards to prove the Democrats are fighting for everyone!

In good company. At the Mule Mountain Democrats' booth in Bisbee, AZ. This is what a down ballot candidate is. First US Senate (TX), then US Congress (AZ CD6), then AZ State Senate (LD19)

From our good friends @arizonaagenda.bsky.social izonaagenda. Tally so far this election season. Dems show up for "debates". Republicans, not so much. As I stated last week, I showed up, Gail Griffin did not. (Nor did David Gowan or Lupe Diaz). www.arizonaagenda.com/p/corralling...

About 10 years ago Gail Griffin supported term limits. Not for herself, but for US Congress! Ask her why she doesn't support real term limits for AZ Legislature. I do. 12 years and you're done! I have a lot to say on this issue. More coming soon.

Gail Griffin again refused to appear at the LD19 Clean Elections Debate. Yesterday I showed up. This really isn't a debate, rather a candidate forum because none of our elected Republican office holders participated. View the debate at www.youtube.com/live/cfWGQ0h...

Robert "Bob" Karp @rwkarp.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Gail Griffin and the rest of the Republicans in the state legislature don't think affordability is an issue. This report from the right-leaning pro business think tank, Common Sense Institute, is telling a different story.

Voters back first-in-nation permanent data center ban in city near L.A.

The ban on computer warehouses in Monterey Park won overwhelming approval as the tech industry struggles against pushback across the country.

#Affordability The affordability political discussion has taken place mostly at the national level. However, state candidates, such as I, will need to have some thoughts on the issue. Let's start with where we are today. Trump administration decisions affect working class families the most!

Cochise County needs poll workers, who get paid to work at vote centers on election day. You must be trained. The county Democratic Party needs volunteers to work on election day as poll OBSERVERS for three hours to make sure voting is going smoothly. DM the county party for more information.

#AZLD19 From our friends at Arizona Mirror, a month-long break by the state legislature - and they still get paid! Maybe this is justified, but I'm running to ask questions like - why take a break when you haven't got a state budget yet? tinyurl.com/vrcm3m3c
