Primary Winners ! Did you get your picks?

Some of the best of the best candidates didn't make it.

Here's why:

2018 registered voters: AZ Democratic =1,111,580 Republican =1,264,295

AZ Registered Voters: 3,632,337 Ballots Cast: 1,107 Voter Turnout: 30.496%

Santa Cruz County voter turnout = 25.25% . More than 2,500 cast early ballots.

Now, back to work.

Of course you'll vote for all Democrats on your November ballot.

We'll be registering voters, making calls and knocking doors to get out the vote. Don't hesitate to send us an email with "Volunteer" in the subject line. We can set you up inSanta Cruz County.... Borderviewmail@Gmail.com



Seeing Red ? Since the AZ Supreme Court took "Invest in Ed" and "Outlaw Dirty Money" off the general election ballot so we cannot enjoy our constitutional right."Remember in November"

"You don't want to wake up on November 7th wishing you did more do you?"

A few words from our firebrand Charman Mary Darling

(I'm Mary Darling and I approve this Newsletter)

First up, I wish to applaud our five Interns who have learned the skills to develop into true organizers. With weekly phone banks using the VAN "Virtual Phone Bank" (aka: VPB) we have made over 800 calls to citizens to follow up on mail-in ballots and extend invitations for volunteer to help us... Most all of them to young voters 18 to 35.

Sadly, the county turnout was only 25.5%. Yes, we have more work to do before the General Election. We do need more interns, volunteers, and appointed PCs to Get-Out-The-Vote (aka: 'GOTV). Write me at: MaryLDarling@Gmail.com

Yes, let's all thank our Democratic candidates for their arduous campaign efforts to engage with voters and highlight important issues. Many of them are sent this newsletter; and come to our county to meet n' greet us. Soon we'll have candidates down here to talk with us about Campaign 2018. NOTE: Several candidates for our Mayor and City Council will appear on the November ballot with another chance to fill a seat. Stay Tuned.

Watch this space or, see our Facebook Page:

https://www.facebook.com/SantaCruzAZDEMS/ for coming events.

Very soon we will begin refresher training for our PCs on Voter Action Network (VAN) skills to help improve our GOTV efforts. It's 2018 people... paper lists are a thing of the past.

Best regards, and sincere thanks to all for your efforts in our Democratic universe.
