I am so grateful to everyone who joined the struggle in our campaign. I’m proud of what we did together. Let’s keep going in the movement to win an Arizona we can afford, an America free of ICE’s cruelty, and a world where genocide never happens.
Although tonight’s outcome is painful for me and all of us who worked so hard in this campaign, I am proud of the grassroots campaign we built so quickly and the voice we gave to thousands of Arizonans who are hungry for a different kind of leadership and an end to a corrupt status quo that has failed us.
A growing majority of Democrats support the progressive agenda our campaign fought for. Despite tonight’s setback, we must and will continue to organize to enact it — from Medicare for All to abolishing ICE, impeaching and prosecuting Trump, ending military aid to Israel and our complicity in genocide, and banning Super PACs and corporate political spending.
I am so grateful to all of the people who devoted their time, money, labor, and hope to our movement. The trust you put in me is a profound honor and your belief in our capacity as everyday people to come together to overcome great obstacles and change the conditions of our lives is so powerful. I’m sorry we came up short this time. Stay in the fight. There will be better nights to come.
I called Greg Stanton earlier to concede and congratulate him on his decisive victory. As I always pledged, I will do my part to make sure that we keep this seat in Democratic hands in November and help win the majority to block Trump’s authoritarian drive.
While this is the end of our campaign, the movement we are part of continues. The dream of making our nation a Beloved Community is alive as long as we carry it, and I will always continue serving as best I can in the fight to realize it. Thank you to everyone who has been and will continue to be part of that struggle. Onward together.
It's Election Day, Arizona!
I just cast my ballot. First time for myself. But this movement has never been about me. It’s about everyone who is done with our corrupt status quo and hungry for change.
Polls are open until 7pm. Find your nearest polling site at: https://t.co/1CFiDIvIMk.
Get out and cast your ballot and bring family and friends. Corporate PACs, Super PACs funded by AI and Crypto barons, and AIPAC are spending big to back my opponent and the failed establishment. Together, with our ballots, with our small donations and volunteer people power, we can defeat them. We can win an Arizona we can afford, an America free of ICE’s cruelty, and a world where genocide never happens.
Join our final push to reach voters at https://t.co/pEjM85rIpS. Let’s bring it home today.
Voting for the Laken Riley Act should be disqualifying for anyone seeking to lead the fight to end ICE’s rampage.
When we needed him to fight to stop Trump from launching his authoritarian mass deportation drive, my opponent gave him a hand. Unacceptable.
Elect a fighter on July 21 🗳️
‼️🚨"They have the money, but we have the people. The harder they focus on Michigan, the easier it gets for us in other races as well. Every dollar they spend on Abdul, is a dollar they are not spending on @FrancescaHongWI, @kai_newkirk, @CoriBush, @HartzellForKC, @OliverALarkin and @iElijahManley. Abdul is our tank so we have to offer sufficient defense, and then we can go on the OFFENSE, on all of these other races that are also tough battles on their own."
MAGA, AI, and Crypto are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars backing our opponent in our Democratic primary.
They've got money, we've got people. Help us get past the finish line and support Kai today.
The wave of progressive victories rolled through New York. Then it was Colorado. Arizona is next up.
Our movement is powered by the people, not the oligarchs and SuperPACs backing my opponent.
Donate today to stand up to the AI tech giants and crypto barons and keep our momentum going.
🚨 Arizona Primary Day is Tuesday, July 21! We’re in the home stretch, I knocked on 108 doors in two days to spread the word. If you’re in CD-4, please be sure to vote for @kai_newkirk! 🚨
Quiz time ⏰ Who showed up to debate? Who takes ZERO corporate PAC money? Who's actually going to stand up to ICE?
I'll give you a hint, it's not my opponent. Make a plan to vote, sign up to volunteer, and donate today to elect a leader who lives in this district and will fight the oligarchs and authoritarians for all its people.
At a time of so much darkness, let this movement be a light of hope.
Tomorrow, we vote to take the wheel from the failed establishment. To flip the tables of the corrupt status quo.
A new generation can lead the way to win an Arizona we can afford, an America free of ICE’s cruelty, and a world where genocide never happens.
I reject corporate PAC money. I’ll never take a dime from AIPAC. I’m fighting to abolish ICE. To impeach, remove, and prosecute Donald Trump. For a national moratorium on AI data centers. To end military aid to Israel. And to pass bold policies like Medicare for All, national rent control, and tuition-free public colleges and universities to guarantee the basics of a decent life.
Make a plan to vote, sign up to volunteer, and donate now. Let’s send a political shockwave to Washington.

This just in - Republicans are all in for Greg Stanton!
As if the MAGA AI oligarchs spending a quarter million to support him weren’t enough.
Anyways, vote for @kai_newkirk on July 21st in #AZ04
