Saturday, October 26, 2024 - Kamala Harris
The Vice President met with Governor Hobbs and Senator Mark Kelly in Phoenix for a morning of door knocking. Maricopa County is a constituency that our campaign believes will be critical to our success and so we want to be as transparent with them as possible. Door knocking in this community meant that we answered numerous questions about policy issues and opinions of the candidates. At around 16:00 MT, the campaign headed over to Desert Financial Arena, which is where a campaign rally was held. A full-text of that speech will be released shortly.
Proposition 133
Vote: No
Reason: Voting "no" preserves Arizona’s current election process and stops the effort to require more restrictions in primary elections, protecting both transparency and election integrity in the state.
Proposition 134
Vote: No
Reason: Opposing this measure is about protecting voter rights by avoiding the complicated requirement of gathering signatures from each district for ballot measures, which could restrict citizen-driven initiatives.
Proposition 135
Vote: No
Reason: Opposing this measure maintains the flexibility the governor has in responding to a wide-range of state emergencies, from health crises to natural disasters
Proposition 136
Vote: No
Reason: This measure would create unnecessary legal challenges to ballot initiatives, potentially blocking voter-approved initiatives through excessive procedural hurdles.
Proposition 137
Vote: No
Reason: Arizona's judicial term limits help ensure accountability and judicial independence. Voting against this measure preserves the six-year terms for state supreme court justices and four-year terms for superior court judges, keeping Arizona’s judicial election process fair and balanced.
Proposition 138
Vote: No
Reason: We believe in a fair minimum wage for all. Opposing this measure supports tipped workers by ensuring they’re paid a full minimum wage, which is essential for financial stability and dignity in their roles.
Proposition 139
Vote: Yes
Reason: This amendment enshrines the right to abortion in the state constitution, guaranteeing reproductive freedoms and healthcare rights for Arizona women. Harris-Walz asks you vote yes!
Proposition 140
Vote: Yes
Reason: This proposition strengthens democracy by advancing ranked-choice voting and open primaries, which foster fair representation and voter choice in elections. Approving this measure will give Arizona voters more power and make elections more competitive.
Proposition 311
Vote: Yes
Reason: This measure provides essential support for families of fallen first responders by establishing a $20 fee on convictions to fund a benefit for the spouse or children of those who lose their lives in the line of duty, demonstrating respect and gratitude for their sacrifice.
Proposition 312
Vote: No
Reason: Protecting vulnerable communities is key to inclusive policies. Voting against this measure prevents penalties and tax cuts for property owners based on punitive approaches toward homelessness, which is a matter better addressed with compassion and resources.
Proposition 313
Vote: No
Reason: We oppose mandatory minimums that limit judicial discretion, especially without exceptions for cases involving trauma or mental health. This measure’s extreme sentencing structure could be harmful, and a more balanced approach to justice is needed.
Proposition 314
Vote: No
Reason: This measure creates undue state burden on border and immigration issues that are federal responsibilities, potentially harming Arizona businesses, budgets, and public safety. Supporting balanced policy, we believe this overreach will create economic and operational setbacks.
Proposition 315
Vote: No
Reason: We oppose this measure as it restricts state agencies from effectively implementing necessary regulations, potentially slowing down essential progress for Arizona’s communities and environment.
