90. I will vote for who I want in the 2024 Arizona primary

Fri May 7, 2021, 09:55 PM

May 2021

The problem is national Democrats picking Sinema in the first place and I knew she was going to act like this because I am from her district which is now represented by Greg Stanton.

Sinema is the one who can't win because she doesn't listen to her constituents. I hope someone like Grijalva runs but I'm voting for who I want in the primary. I voted for Deedra Abboud in the 2018 primary who Sinema declined to debate.

National Democrats should stay out of Arizona elections. I'll vote for Mark Kelly & Greg Stanton in 2022 but Mark Kelly should support the Pro Act because Arizona is a right-to-work state. I'm voting for who I want in the 2024 primary.

If the Arizona GOP steals a future election I'll move to a state where my vote will count.

BTW John McCain wasn't a "maverick" because he voted in line with his party. He would have disagreements but he was a conservative.
