Former Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez is turning heads with his impressive fundraising surge in the Q3 of 2024. To underscore the point, of all US House candidates in the country, Nez collected more August Act Blue contributions ($889K) in August than nearly every other House candidate in the country. Only Eugene Vindman, AOC, and Lauren Boebert’s opponent, Trisha Calvarese, raised more in August on Act Blue.
Nez’s campaign is firing on all cylinders in its effort to unseat MAGA extremist and Steve Bannon’s favorite Congressman Eli Crane, and given that this is a single digit red-leaning seat (Trump carried what is now AZ-2 by 7.9 points in 2020, Crane won the district by 7.8 points in 2022), this is the type of race where outstanding fundraising, and having the right candidate can flip the seat.
National forecasters are taking notice, as several have moved the race from designations like “Solid or Safe Republican” to competitive ratings, including Inside Elections.
With just a week left in the 3Q, Jonathan Nez could use a final push to get over 3 million raised in one quarter (a pace that seems within reach given his strong July and August numbers). As an added bonus, helping Nez’s campaign also helps Ruben Gallego’s Senate race and Kamala Harris in the US presidential race.
Forecast models show Arizona to be one of the most competitive swing states in the country, and while less likely to be the tipping point than Pennsylvania, a win in Arizona would be a huge step towards ensuring Donald Trump doesn’t return to the White House. Investing in Nez’s campaign helps up and down the ballot in AZ.
As Roadrunner was scrolling through social media one day he noticed that Politics Girl says this race should be a “no brainer”. Being a roadrunner, I have a bird brain by definition, but that’s enough intellectual capacity to understand what a “no brainer” is. Time to jump in on the Jonathan Nez momentum train, because he is kicking ass and taking names in Arizona, and with your help, he can send Eli Crane back to do what he does best which is making bottle openers.
