The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast

Arizona Democrats are in crisis


Listen Later

Arizona Democrats have held the spotlight this month with two very different votes.

One elected legacy politician Adelita Grijalva for the party's representation in the CD 7 race to fill her late father's seat in Congress.

The other was to oust their state party chair, Robert Branscomb II.

Arizona Democrats are riddled with political infighting after losing the presidential election in 2024, and soon the party will need to come together for midterm campaigns, including the re-election of Gov. Katie Hobbs.

This week on The Gaggle, we joined by Stacy Pearson, a Democratic political strategist and co-founder of Lumen Strategies. Pearson joins the show to give a status update on the party, what these two votes indicate for the future and what she thinks the Democrats need in order to get it together.
