She told me that I need to continue working to get into the Arizona House. Her words, translate from Chinese to English:
"This is more important than me and I believe you would be good for everyone. We will be together there soon enough. Don't give up something you believe in."
As a result, I am un-suspending my campaign. I have my wife's blessing to continue.
Because of that, I posted a new post on my campaign website. I have decided to take the gloves off completely and go on the attack as much as possible against my Republican opponent (for now as redistricting will happen soon) Joel John and the entire Republican Party as a whole.
Here is my new posting: Katz for Arizona House is back online.
13: Biden Wins Arizona (again); Republicans Prove Biden Got Even More Votes
People in LD4 and Arizonans as a whole: We need ONE seat to flip the Arizona House. LD4 is a PVI of D+13 and John only won by 2400 votes. This district is winnable. Let's turn Arizona blue in 2022. Let's work to get me into the AZ House. . .for LD4, for Arizona. . .and for my wife who has told me it's pretty much more important for the long term good of the State and my family.
I absolutely love my wife and it feels so much better that I have her support even though she is still 7000 miles away.

(1,956 posts)I read your article a couple of weeks back when you were talking about the difficulties the two of you were facing in trying to be able to have her continue living here in the U.S. I hope you were able to get the ball rolling to be able to hopefully have her be able to stay here permanently.
I think it is great that she is thinking of you and your campaign while she is facing these difficulties. I wish the two of you all the best and I hope you are victorious in your campaign!
I was fortunate to get to spend 4 years of my military service time in Arizona (Luke AFB) back in the 1980s. I love the great and varied scenery of The Grand Canyon State. Those mild winters are pretty nice, too!

I'm going to take her up to Summerhaven when she gets here to show her that Southern Arizona has the same things Northern Arizona has as well.
She loved going up to Snowbowl outside of Flagstaff when it was snowing up there.

(1,956 posts)I am not very familiar with the Tucson area. I love the Colorado Plateau and if I had money and lived in AZ, I would split the year between either the Phoenix or Tucson area and Flagstaff.
I worked with someone who liked both water and snow skiing while at Luke. They said if you try it during the right time of year, a person can snow ski at the Snow Bowl and then water ski on one of the man made lakes north of Phoenix in the same day,

previous announcement.
There is a typo in the first sentence of your review posting -
Republican fraudit proved
her won with even more votes.
Im betting the teacher in you will want to fix that. We dont want to give the opposition anything to ding you on.
Your loving words about your wife touch me deeply.

Just saying.
Good luck!

(14,742 posts)State rep offices are decidedly low budget. No real oppo dollars are available. It's up to the skill and time available to the searcher.
Lazy opponent, and you can slide by. It might eventually turn up as you rise up, but for a low level office I have to believe simple measures work.

(5,688 posts)I will live and die by my style.
But if you would like to help, I'm looking for people to do that officially.
Considering that I know they will use my wife as a weapon against me (like how McSally tried to tie Mark Kelly to China) because she is Chinese. . .I will eliminate nothing.
