Rep. Ruben Gallego Is Fighting for Arizona

House Rep. Ruben Gallego joins the podcast to talk about his Senate campaign against Republican Kari Lake to replace former Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema and what a path to victory looks like in November. Recorded well before the most recent political developments, this race remains critical to holding the Senate and being able to govern and advance a progressive agenda in 2025.  He shares his journey to politics from working with veterans to fighting back against SB1070, aka the “show me your papers” law. He also discusses the impact of the attack on reproductive rights in Arizona and shares why focusing on Arizona’s issues instead of national conversations is the key to winning across the state.
