The racists in the Tennessee State House tried everything they could to stop this man.
They expelled him. And the voters sent him right back.
Then they redrew his district.
Now, voters have chosen him as their Democratic nominee for Congress. Congratulations Justin Pearson!
🚨NEW! ANOTHER direct attack on AZ public schools by Lobbyist @MattGress & his employer @AmericansFair?
Gress & @JakeHoffmanAZ sponsored mirror bills referring #Prop320 & its diabolical funding cuts to the ballot. Gress’ boss & his co-worker @DeAngelisCorey celebrated #LD4🧵
In a major win for Arizona voters, a judge struck down HCR 2048 (Prop 145) after Republican lawmakers unconstitutionally disguised a "poison pill" aimed at killing Prop 212 (the Protect Education Act) behind protections for military families.
Republicans in the Legislature tried to trick voters by referring HCR2048 to the ballot. Disguised as protections for military families, this initiative would have undercut and nullified a voter-led initiative. The court rightfully blocked it from the ballot this morning.
Both legislative referrals were direct retaliation against the Protect Education Act (Prop 212) — a citizen-led initiative on the November ballot designed to bring accountability to Arizona’s universal voucher program.

The Protect Education Act will be titled Proposition 212 on your AZ ballot this November! This week, the Secretary of State’s office released the proposition numbers, & Protect Education is Prop. 212!!! 🎉

Why is former AZ Gov Ducey promoting an ESA-funded school owned by Mike Tyson, convicted rapist and registered sex offender? Seems like someone with that history should not own a school, right? Why do ESA supporters think this is okay?

Gov @katiehobbs said she would call a special session to fix HCR 2040. Hobbs: "The Legislature still has a chance to do the right thing and repeal 2040 if they want to, and I would absolutely support calling a special session for them to do that.”
They're supposed to be "impartial" explanations of ballot measures. But @priya4az and Dems say @SteveMontenegro and other Republicans are skewing what voters will see when they read the brochures being mailed to all Arizona homes ahead of General Election. https://t.co/R0JOE36965

PRESS RELEASE: Legislative Dems Statement on Republican Special Session Failure on ESAs and Ballot Measures Attacking Educators, Fire Fighters and Law Enforcement
Time to remember 2013’s omnibus voter suppression #HB2305. R’s rescinded law after successful petition drive to put it on the ballot; later passed it piece by piece. #GOP will always be anti-union and work tirelessly to destroy public schools and attack free and fair elections.
Hard to keep track of all the backroom deals at #azleg. The AZ GOP started this fiasco by passing poorly written, ill-conceived referrals in the first place.
AZ GOP’s long-term plan is ALWAYS to expand ESA’s w/no accountability. Don’t fall for the AZ GOP’s latest schemes!
Lawsuit challenges legislative ballot referral that would completely nullify the citizen initiative to impose new ESA restrictions while preserving military families’ ability to bank unused ESA money, arguing that it violates the AZ Constitution’s separate amendment rule.
Voucher reform advocates tell judge that a "poison pill" ballot measure to kill their initiative, approved by state lawmakers in last hours of session, is unconstitutional and should be struck from ballot. https://t.co/e6Mxdq6ZYL
