Tonight, the Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano released the following statement in reaction to Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention: 

“Trump’s agenda is extreme and would be disastrous for Americans. Despite lying about his involvement in Project 2025, Trump is complicit in this same agenda that would ban abortion nationwide, hurt the middle class, and that poses the greatest threat to Democracy in decades because it would give him power like no president has ever had. Arizonans won’t forget that it’s because of Trump that the lives of millions of women were thrown into chaos by the 1864 abortion ban. Arizonans won’t forget how Trump separated immigrant families. Arizonans won’t forget how his MAGA loyalists already tried to take away our voice and our vote. A second Trump presidency will be worse as he will make good on his promise to be a dictator on “day one.” The stakes couldn’t be clearer: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will fight for our rights and democracy and we will make sure they’re elected once again.”

Arizona Democrats are prepared to fight for Arizona values by electing Democrats up and down the ballot. To learn more about key initiatives, how to vote or how to support Democrats this election cycle, please visit azdem.org.
