“Why does this matter you may ask…I like all candidates and whatever you may say…Returns for the primary are a bell weather for the general and allow judgements on “enthusiasm” among voters. If enthusiasm among your parties voters seems low (i.e. voting is sluggish) or about how it’s always been, the national party has less incentive to invest finite resources in your state which means your party has less chance of winning.”-  Lori Marie

The Flagstaff Branch of American Association of University Women is presenting two dynamic speakers for their annual scholarship fundraising luncheon, August 23 2018 at 1899 on the NAU campus. “What Do Women Bring to Public Office” is the theme of the program, featuring two dynamic speakers, State Senator Katie Hobbs, candidate for AZ Secretary of State and combat veteran Felicia French, candidate for AZ State Legislature LD6.

Both speakers bring varied experiences to their campaigns for state office, appealing to voters who are looking for a re-commitment by state government to improve education funding, voter protections and healthcare.

Katie Hobbs, is an NAU alumni with a MSW from ASU. She served in the AZ House in 2010 and the AZ Senate from 2012. Her work history includes over 20 years guiding homeless youth to a ‘road to self-sufficiency’, domestic violence and behavioral health. Votesmart gives her high points as a humanitarian and a “Liberal in a sea of conservatism”.

Felicia French, a third generation Arizonian, is a retired Army Colonel, combat medivac helicopter pilot, and registered nurse who have a Masters in Sustainable Solutions. Her campaign issues centers on education, student achievements, assessable vocational training and healthcare. Community involvement landed Felicia ‘Volunteer of the Year 2016 for the ‘Take Pride Pine-Strawberry’ effort in Pine, AZ.

The luncheon cost is $50 and RSVPs for the event should be made by August 16, 2018 at [email protected]. If you cannot attend this event but wish to contribute to the Scholarship Fund, the donation made by made at PayPal Donation AAUW.

Dear Friend,

We have decided to cancel our monthly meetings at the Cottonwood Library (the monthly NAZCCA meeting will continue to be held at the Library on the 1st Saturday of each month from 12:30-1:45). Thanks to all who have attended in the past.

Moving forward we will be using this email list to share important information with you on actions you can take to help restore our Constitution and democracy to our nation.

The MOST important thing you can do right now is encourage all of your friends and family (regardless of where they live) to register to vote and vote in the upcoming primaries and general election in November. And make sure you are registered to vote and that you cast your ballot in these so very important elections. This is the best way that you can make your voice heard.

You can also continue to write, text, fax, email your Members of Congress and let them know how you feel about specific issues. One way of doing this is to text the word RESIST to the number 50409.

We got on the ballot! And now it’s time to ensure victory with a serious campaign. Just two months of good work and we can invest serious new dollars in our students’ education system.

Celebrity Telethon

Be ready to receive a phone call and be ready to donate to the LD6 candidates.

They need financial backing in order to even out the partisan balance in the AZ Legislature. The Democratic Party believes they have the BEST chance of any legislative district in the state of winning. So WE need to all help by donating to help them win!!!!

More to come.
