Growing up in Rolle, I was an active child. After a basketball game, I always stood in line with my team, shook everyone’s hand and congratulated them if they won. On my softball team, I always expected the opposing team to agree that the score on the board was correct.
And while running on a track, I have never claimed that the race was rigged for another runner. Not everyone shares the same values when it comes to elections.
Arizonans in Congressional District 8 have a good choice in Greg Wheaton, a proven fighter who wants to move our state forward. A third-generation Arizonan, Wheaton has worked for more than 15 years to keep America safe by serving as a biosecurity expert. While serving at the Pentagon, Wheaton cut red tape to ensure our soldiers and veterans have access to health care. This is true leadership.
Wheaton is running for Congress to fight for working-class Arizonans by protecting Social Security and Medicare, securing Arizona’s water future, and making sure the ultra-rich pay their fair share.
As the voice of the Democratic Party in Congress, Wheaton will work across the aisle to achieve results for Arizonans and champion the needs of the community where he has lived his entire life. He will work to expand our freedoms and protect our private health care choices by fighting against the federal ban on abortion.
