Ruben is a veteran of the Marine Corps and is the only candidate in this race running to address the critical problems facing Arizonans while his opponent is doing everything she can to undermine our democratic institutions, cast doubt on the electoral process, and cozy up to MAGA extremists like Donald Trump. Throughout his years in the House of Representatives, Congressman Gallego has fought side by side with the veterans of Common Defense to pass much needed bills that have helped Arizonans as well as countless veterans across the country. From the Honor Our PACT Act to the largest infrastructure bill in modern history, the Inflation Reduction Act, Gallego led the charge.

As Arizona and the nation face some of the most challenging issues of our time, we need a battle-tested champion to lead the fight to protect access to clean drinking water and develop solutions to sustain us through dire droughts; defend reproductive access and establish federal protections that enshrine Roe v Wade into law so an activist court cannot come between a patient and their doctor; and bolster our democracy so wannabe dictators can’t misuse the levers of power to wrest control from the people. Gallego is that leader.
