It is imperative to VOTE for BOTH GRAHAM & UGENTI-RITA
The DSA-Endorsed DEM Candidate
It is critical that conservatives win this election to maintain control of the Scottsdale City Council.
Remember that over the last decade, liberal control of Scottsdale has meant decaying roads and development of tens of thousands of high-density apartments - including approval of the Axon apartment deal that gave away 12,000 homes worth of water without replacement requirements. Water availability and decaying infrastructure was of secondary concern.
The DSA-endorsed candidate has a resident-friendly message, but he is closely aligned with the liberal ideology that changed Scottsdale for the worse in many ways. If he were elected, the Scottsdale City Council would tip back to liberal control sending Scottsdale back in the wrong direction.
By voting for the conservative Top Picks (Graham & Ugenti-Rita), your city - and the resident viewpoint - will be protected on the City Council.

West-MEC 7
(Vote for 1)
Elections have consequences. We must elect Andy Biggs, Governor. Then many more conservative judges will be appointed.
NOTE: CS reviewed judges based the 2026 Judicial Performance Review (peer & citizen) and other formal reviews that assess judicial conduct. Historical data shows removing judges at the ballot box is a rare event. It is 30x more effective to improve the judiciary by electing a conservative governor who - by law - makes judge appointments and populates judicial screening and review functions with conservatives.
Ballot Initiatives & Questions
Katie Hobbs has rejected hundreds of good improvements to AZ law. But, the conservative state legislature has refferred 9 important ballot initiatives for voters to decide this election cycle. Bypasses Katie Hobbs' veto power. All are very important for your conservative vote.
