Mar 2018

he focused on in the paragraph you included above? I looked at her website. Her jobs/work/economy program seems to be focused more on education/training the workforce which have been mainstays for the past 2+ decades, and simplifying the federal tax code. Those messages don't really align well with what many progressives want to see and hear from candidates on the economy/jobs.

Do you think there's any value in Sanders and other progressives making appearances in AZ to promote progressive messages? Is there no chance that AZ voters can be swayed by genuine commitment to a realistic minimum wage, a goal of free higher education in the future, affordable health care for all as a right, strengthening American workforce collective bargaining rights, Trade Agreements that are fair to and protect American workers, etc., etc.?

What about the two AZ Congressmen that accompanied Sanders in Phoenix (Congressmen Ruben Gallego and Raúl Grijalva) did they endorse Tipirneni?
