We are saddened to share the passing of former Phoenix Police Chief Ruben B. Ortega.

Chief Ortega joined the department in 1960, was appointed Chief on February 25, 1980 and led the organization until his retirement on June 11, 1991. Under his leadership, the department earned CALEA accreditation, and his impact extended nationwide. He served as president of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, was appointed by President George H.W. Bush to the Commission on Model State Drug Laws and contributed to federal efforts addressing domestic violence. His legacy lives on through the many leaders he mentored, including police chiefs who went on to serve major cities across the country.

Join us this Tuesday for a Zoom call with Kris Mayes — Arizona's Attorney General, and one of the most consequential elected officials in the country right now. Kris made history as the first openly LGBTQ woman (and mother) to serve as Arizona AG. She won her seat in 2022 by just 280 votes — the closest statewide race in Arizona history —, and she has spent every day since proving that margin was worth fighting for.

The list of what she's accomplished is remarkable. She blocked the Kroger-Albertsons merger, saving thousands of jobs in Arizona. She sued corporations for illegally draining Arizona's water. She took on major landlords and RealPage for using algorithms to collude on rent prices. And when Trump's administration violated the Constitution, she didn't wait — she sued. 41 times. Those lawsuits have already secured $1.5 billion in federal funding for Arizona, winning cases all the way to the Supreme Court.

Now she needs to win again — and this race won't be easy or cheap. Her opponents know what's at stake in 2028, and this AG race is projected to cost $15 million, making it the most expensive in history. Kris has the record. She needs the resources to make sure voters hear about it.
Please join us on Tuesday, June 9. Bring your questions, your enthusiasm, and if you're able, your support. This is exactly the kind of race where showing up early makes all the difference.
I hope you can join us on Tuesday, June 9, at 5 PM PT or 8 PM ET.
