Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible, one of the nation’s leading national progressive grassroots organization, announced its endorsement of Representative Ruben Gallego in the U.S. Senate election in Arizona:
“We are thrilled to join the dozens of Indivisible groups across Arizona to announce our endorsement of Ruben Gallego for Senate. Ruben has emerged as a true fighter for all Arizonans and will finally deliver real representation for the Grand Canyon State that constituents have been sorely missing in Kyrsten Sinema,” said Mari Urbina, Indivisible’s Managing Director and Lead for the Battleground Arizona Program.
“The stakes of this race could not be higher. Kari Lake is one of the most dangerous and extreme Trump-backed candidates in the country, and Senator Sinema has done nothing to fight back against MAGA’s attacks on democracy and reproductive rights in Arizona. There is nobody better equipped to take on these challenges than Ruben.
“We don’t say this just because we believe in him – because we do – but also because we know he has the unwavering support of Arizona Indivisibles not just in Maricopa County, but across the state from Pima County to Mohave County. Arizona Indivisibles have an expansive statewide grassroots network composed of community leaders who helped power Democratic wins in 2018 and 2020. Indivisibles across Arizona are fired up, and ready to help Ruben win big in November, and we’re proud to stand behind them.
“Ruben’s victory will not only bring a fresh voice to the Senate, it will also bring real leadership from a candidate who has a record of practicing what he preaches. When Ruben tells Indivisibles he’ll protect abortion access no matter what, even if it means eliminating the filibuster, it’s because he means it. Arizonans deserve a leader in the Senate they can trust and depend on to fight hard and break through all the barriers to progress. We are so excited to fight alongside Ruben and all the communities across Arizona to win in November and make the Senate work again."
“Indivisible plays a crucial role in mobilizing people of all party affiliations across the country around the issues that matter most. From protecting abortion access to defending our democracy to building an economy that works for hardworking families, they lead the charge to elect leaders who know how to get the job done. I am honored to have their support in this crucial race and look forward to working with them to build a better future for Arizonans everywhere,” said Ruben Gallego, Representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district and candidate for U.S. Senate.
To earn Indivisible’s national endorsement, a candidate must demonstrate they’ve earned broad and committed support from their local Indivisible network. All endorsed candidates must have a strong pro-democracy platform aligned with our movement’s values and the enthusiastic support of informed, energized voters in their district.
A statewide network of over 22 Indivisible groups across Arizona have formally endorsed Ruben Gallego and recommended him to Indivisible for our national endorsement. For local perspectives on the race, please contact the following group leaders for comment:
