Udall Dinner 2024

Pima is the Path to a Flipped Arizona Legislature.

What happens in Arizona will have impacts felt nationwide. From the peaceful transfer of national power, codifying Roe, worker's rights, education funding, ratifying the ERA, Climate Change Policy, and Gun Reform - Arizona will guide the nation. We must win a majority in our state’s legislature, and that path to a majority runs right through Pima County.

Arizona Democrats are only TWO seats away from controlling the Arizona Legislature. There are 3 key districts in Pima County that will provide a direct “path to victory” statewide.

Pima County Legislative Districts 16, 17 and 23 are the path. Help us flip the Arizona Legislature - help us FIGHT FOR A BETTER FUTURE IN ARIZONA.

Welcome with Tucson Mayor, Regina Romero.

Keynote Speaker: United States Senator, Mark Kelly.

Mark Kelly has served his country as a U.S. Navy combat pilot, a NASA astronaut, and now as a U.S. Senator for Arizona. He is an independent leader who came to the Senate to serve Arizona’s working families, not corporate special interests.

As the son of two police officers, Senator Kelly learned the value of public service at an early age. He attended public schools from elementary school all the way through graduate school. Senator Kelly earned his B.S. degree in marine engineering and nautical science from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and later an M.S. degree in aeronautical engineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.

Featured Speaker: Gen Z political powerhouse, and youngest Chair of a state democratic party, Anderson Clayton. Chair Clayton serves as the current chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party - a battleground state and a must win for Biden.

Elected at only 25 years old, Anderson Clayton grew up in rural North Carolina and graduated from Appalachian State University. She worked on North Carolina Congressional campaigns before becoming a field organizer for the presidential campaigns of Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, and then for the Senate campaign of Amy McGrath.

Chair Anderson Clayton ~ "I get asked all the time, 'how are you a young person that's voting for this guy...he's the only president that's ever looked at a place like where I'm from. I believe in that. Why would I not want someone to believe in people like me?"
