"One man with courage is a majority." (Thomas Jefferson)

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

Today I attended a local event where AG candidate @rodneyglassman was invited to speak. One of the guests there, a concerned mom and a voter, asked him a question regarding deeply concerning allegations of child sexual abuse that have recently surfaced. He refused to answer the mom’s question.

Rodney was initially scheduled to speak about child trafficking - the very definition of crimes against children. However, he did not even mention the subject but instead he pivoted to other topics, like him living the American dream with his family.

Not only that, but minutes later a fierce local actionist, @MerissaCaldwell showed up with a bunch of redacted affidavits and QR codes linked to compelling evidence supporting the allegations against the candidate. As soon as she walked up to Rodney to hand him the documents, restaurant staff escorted her out from their public venue.

At the end of the event, I expressed my interest in asking the AG candidate a question, but my question was denied. His campaign manager was respectful enough to provide an answer after the event concluded.

Here are my thoughts: why wouldn’t @rodneyglassman answer the concerned mom’s question?
Why wasn’t @rodneyglassman a gentleman with @MerissaCaldwell and prove her wrong, since she was peacefully seeking answers, and ultimately the truth?

As a mom and a citizen, I do not want to empower or place a predator in any public office, let alone the AG office.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

As we draw closer to celebrating America's 250th anniversary, I am honored to be living through it and to be a small part of it.

The occasion carries deep spiritual symbolism. In Scripture, major jubilees were times of restoration-debts were forgiven, captives were set free, and people were given a new beginning. Whether viewed spiritually, culturally, or historically, jubilees remind us that renewal is possible.

With these elections unfolding at the same time, I believe we may be witnessing one of the greatest restorations God has brought to our nation in generations. The power is transitioning back to the people. More and more Americans are becoming engaged, asking questions, seeking truth, and taking responsibility for the future of their communities.

We are one nation, under God.

🚨MARICOPA COUNTY PRIMARY ELECTION UPDATE -- Locations are now listed online📍

I asked Scott Jarrett in the Party Election Briefing meeting if they fixed the location directory so it's not so confusing for voters to search by date

He said it workes now, but it remains BROKEN and date searches remain MISSING

Voters not being able to find a voting location has always been the biggest complaint I have received on our voter hotline. It severely clogs the STAR system @azjustinheap has to manage too.

When I search by zip code, it brings up all of the voting locations for ALL dates. So if someone wants to search where to go on opening day, they have no way to do this by the map because there is no search by date feature.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

I second that.

[JustAMomma @justanazmomma]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ Can they please come to AZ? And, bringing @nickshirleyy would be a plus! ♥️🇺🇸

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

Rather than attacking me personally, I invite you to address the arguments I made and respectfully share your perspective.

Or, I can ask you some questions because I see you are open for dialogue, which I appreciate.

1. What are the top three qualities do you think an AG must have?

2. Is it right or is it wrong for a candidate to lash out at a woman - publicly and shame her by labeling her question as "garbage", simply for asking him simply what was his perspective on the allegations that had surfaced online?

3. Is it acceptable for voters to ask a candidate seeking public office questions about accountability when that candidate himself has acknowledged accountability as a core qualification for the position?

4. If I were running for public office and there were credible allegations and evidence circulating that suggested I may have committed crimes against children, what would you do if you were sitting face-to-face with me and I invited you to ask questions? Something tells me you would ask some tough questions.

Would you ask the hard questions and seek clarity, or would you ignore the issue entirely?

As voters, don't we have a responsibility to ask questions about matters that could affect a candidate's fitness for office, especially when the office itself is responsible for upholding the law?

5. If I had allegations of criminal conduct hanging over me, I would welcome an investigation to clear my name. Don't you think that would be a great idea to build public trust and also popularity?

6. What is your vision for Arizona? What do you expect from your elected officials, and what changes would you like to see in our state?

I see that you use your voice and that you care. I would be very grateful if you would answer the questions above and share your perspective with me.

Even if we ultimately disagree, I believe respectful dialogue helps us better understand one another and move closer to the kind of Arizona we all want to build.

Thank you in advance:)

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

First of all, I did not accuse @rodneyglassman of anything. I simply asked what his position was regarding allegations that had already surfaced publicly on the internet.

Do you know how he could have earned my vote instantly? By calmly assuring me that he was willing to sit down with me and the other concerned mothers and women, discuss every issue openly, and demonstrate transparency, accountability, and why he was the right person for the Attorney General's office.

Instead, he lashed out and called my question "garbage."

Anyone seeking public office will eventually face uncomfortable questions. That comes with the job. If a candidate cannot keep their composure when confronted with concerns from voters during a campaign, how can we expect them to remain calm and professional when holding an office that carries far greater responsibility, pressure, and public scrutiny?

Plus, the more I looked into Senate President @votewarren, the more I liked what I found. He has demonstrated a willingness to uphold the values he talks about, and that consistency matters to me. I believe the Attorney General should not only speak about principles, but also demonstrate them through actions, and from what I have seen, he has done exactly that.

When I look at states like Minnesota and California, I see policies and government practices that concern me. In my personal opinion, Arizona faces many of the same challenges and risks, which is why accountability and transparency in government matter so much.

To address those concerns, we need an Attorney General who is transparent, accountable, and has a proven track record of fighting for Arizona and upholding the rule of law.

That is why I wholeheartedly support Senate President @votewarren. From what I have seen, his actions align with the values he promotes, and I believe he has the leadership and integrity to set an example not only for Arizona, but for the entire nation.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

@rodneyglassman @MeredithCramer @djquinlan @votewarren You'd have to earn it, @rodneyglassman. And it would begin with some apologies.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

Allow me to clarify some things, I am an advocate for the candidate who is willing to openly and respectfully discuss any concerns that I or the community may have, who is able to have a tough conversation and who is willing to investigate crimes, regardless of who may have committed them. It looks like that is Senate President Warren Petersen.

I will never tolerate an individual to lash out at me and call my question “garbage” for responding to his invitation to ask questions, and I will never tolerate crimes against children.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

Fraud is out of control in the entire country. That is why it is important to learn about every candidate, show up at their events and ask them questions (even if some of the candidates don't like that), and then vote.
I vote for Senate President Warren Petersen @votewarren as our Attorney General because he demonstrated that he will prosecute crime and not play around, like other candidates and AGs.
It is our chance to eradicate fraud and put our tax dollars to good use.

[JustAMomma @justanazmomma]

THIS SHOULD INFURIATE TAX PAYERS!!!

Fraud is out of control in Arizona

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

@djquinlan your buddy said there was nothing more disgusting than attacking your opponent’s family. Are you two exempt?
Whatever boring and ordinary things one does in his personal life is not of public interest but just low bar gossip. I’d consider crimes against children as something worthy of discussing.

[JustAMomma @justanazmomma]

Senator, I respect you greatly. I beg you to investigate the “advocates” and look at the real truth. The evidence doesn’t lie, but people do.

Reva Stewart is a body broker; she and many others have been for years. She, along with many others are criminals received a broker fee for placing people in homes. She was named woman of the year. HOWEVER, why is the sober living “advocate” a habitual offender including 5-6 DUIs?
Raquel was in prison for dangerous crimes along with Jared Marquez and Jeri Long.

Did anyone bother to look into the “anonymous” source from 2022? She works at Scottsdale Recovery. Her name is Phaedra. It shouldn’t be surprising given the $6M in grants they were awarded by Kris Mayes. The alleged whistleblowers in this case are family members of the outcasted advocate Coleen. Coleen used to be the other half of Reva. These perps do not even hide bragging about it online. They are boastful about hating conservatives. This shouldn’t be partisan, but it is.

Turtle Island women warriors are not advocating for their people. Many of them are the ones hurting them and profiting along the way.

[JustAMomma @justanazmomma]

Senator @RepEliCrane, I am pleading for the state and US politicians to investigate the “advocates” and look at the real truth. The evidence doesn’t lie, but people do. No one wanted to listen to the whistleblower who came forward with the information that natives were receiving the kickbacks and being paid a “headhunting fee” to place natives in homes and with specific companies.

Reva Stewart is a body broker; she and many others have been for years. She, along with many others are criminals received a broker fee for placing people in homes. She was named woman of the year. HOWEVER, why is the sober living “advocate” a habitual offender including 5-6 DUIs?
Raquel was in prison for dangerous crimes along with Jared Marquez and Jeri Long.

Did anyone bother to look into the “anonymous” source from 2022 that worked with Julie Culton and Vanessa Templeman from AHCCS OIG? “Anonymous2022”, She works at Scottsdale Recovery. Her name is Phaedra. It shouldn’t be surprising given the $6M in grants they were awarded by Kris Mayes. According to signed affidavits and ignored evidence turned over by the whistleblower, Phaedra worked with the owners of Scottsdale recovery and multiple media outlets to push a false narrative.

The alleged whistleblowers in this case are family members of the outcasted advocate Coleen. Coleen used to be the other half of Reva before Jeri Long, Jared, and Racquel became the top minions. These perps do not even hide bragging about it online. They are boastful about hating conservatives and especially Trump.This shouldn’t be partisan, but it is. With @NezForAZ running for office again, didn’t anyone think that this may put egg on the faces of republicans? Why are the “advocates” all of a sudden pro conservative when they openly bash and blame them for Natives dying?

Turtle Island women warriors are not advocating for their people. Many of them are the ones hurting them and profiting along the way.

PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE!

(SS-2002; further charges which all are public record, continue with the next being in 2003)

[Warren Petersen @votewarren]

Here’s one of the things I will do as Arizona’s next Attorney General:
If there is evidence that has come forward of sexual abuse of children—I will take that seriously, and I will prosecute it to the full force of the law. People are not going to call the Attorney General’s office and feel like it’s a waste of their time.

A police officer came by tonight while I was putting up https://t.co/pFHZKe5BRR PAC signs and gave us a nod of thanks for the work we are doing to save Arizona🥰

The good guys are still in uniform 👮🏻🙏

God bless Arizona 🌵

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

@MerissaCaldwell @MerissaCaldwell, thank you for fighting for our children and for our state 🩷

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

@justanazmomma @rodneyglassman, if I were a mom 15 years ago, I probably would have worried more about child predators than about where to find free woke books for my kids.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

That's exactly why I support @votewarren:

"Here’s what I will do as the next attorney general,” Petersen said. “If there is evidence that has come forward of sexual abuse of children, I will take that seriously and I will prosecute through the full force of the law. People are not going to call the attorney general’s office and feel like it’s a waste of their time.” (Warren Peterson, May 28, 2026)

[Merissa Caldwell 🗳 ⛽ 🗽🔥 @MerissaCaldwell]

@WendyRogersAZ @votewarren We need an AG that doesn't think that they are above the law and will protect kids.

This is a promise only @votewarren has made ⬇

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

We all have questions about @rodneyglassman.

How can Rodney not know the alleged family lawyer’s name?

And which kids in Arizona supposedly didn’t have books at home 15 years ago?

For decades, there have been countless organizations helping families with books, toys, diapers, food, and everyday supplies, often starting as early as a mother’s very first pregnancy appointment. You take your child to a doctor’s visit and many times the child leaves with a book.

[R.C. Maxwell 🇺🇸 @RCMaxw3ll]

AG candidate Rodney Glassman (R) gets grilled on abuse allegations before I ask:

Do you stand by the left-leaning climate change ideology you pushed in children’s books when you were a Democrat?

He stood by his involvement in the project.

Tough night for Glassman as @votewarren is expected to pull ahead further after the debate.

[Manuela Callini @ManuelaCallini]

@MarcGaddis @RCMaxw3ll Says the man who blocked a concerned mother from recording @rodneyglassman at a public event where recording was expressly permitted - while exercising rights protected under the First Amendment, lol.
