Arizona Democrats’ No 1 message: ‘Republicans want to destroy our democracy’

State party chair Yolanda Bejarano says Biden's agenda of job creation and lowering family's costs is a winner and recent polling does not capture where voters will be come election day

Few states will have more influence over the country's political future than Arizona. Once a ruby-red Republican stronghold, it is now a south-western battleground and the stakes couldn't be higher for Arizonans - or Americans.

In 2020, Joe Biden carried Arizona by just over 10,000 votes, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state in nearly a quarter-century. Two years later, Democrats won statewide races for governor, secretary of state and attorney general and re-elected the Democratic senator Mark Kelly to a full six-year term.
