Many Republicans in Congress refuse to hold Donald Trump accountable out of fear that he’ll make them lose their next primary election. An election reform called Final Five Voting would change that dynamic. Learn more here: https://t.co/mdmvncw6Ax.
I want to be clear: As the next Attorney General I will prosecute any interference or violence against our elections officials. What happened to the excellent elections managers in Yavapai County was unacceptable.

Primaries are challenging for both the candidates & their supporters. As an elected official, I have more of a front row seat than most. I prefer candidates, who because of their strength, run positive campaigns based on the reality of their experience and accomplishments.
Last month, while I was door-knocking in Sunnyslope, I noticed this little creature by the side of the house in a flower bed. He was the size of my hand. His eyes were totally crusted shut, and he was not able to fend for himself. I knew he would die soon if he remained there.
Political will for action on #ClimateChange was on full display in Australia. Perhaps US climate advocates can apply this lesson to upcoming elections.

An amendment to get big money out of politics will make government responsive to voters' wishes. To get an amendment, we need voters of all persuasions to support it. Thank you, Alaska!
In recent polling, 71 percent of likely Alaskan voters said they would support the proposed #28thAmendment that would establish limits on money in politics. This poll, and other campaigns, shows that cross-partisan support is present in the states. https://t.co/P8fgb09zNE
A carbon-pricing law is essential to reversing climate change. And it uses market forces, meaning decisions by producers and consumers, to effect the change. We need Congress to pass carbon pricing.
BIG NEWS: @SenatorDurbin has introduced a carbon-pricing bill that gives the majority of revenue to low- and middle-income households. Thank you, Senator!
FYI: He's the No. 2 Dem in the Senate.
HR 1 calls for many needed reforms to improve the health of our political system, including a constitutional amendment to get big money out of politics. See HJR 1 for one such amendment.
My wife and I volunteered on two separate days in Tucson several weeks ago. Each of us got vaccinated during or after our shift. And volunteering was fun.
