We’re calling this month’s meeting our “Environmental” meeting where we will hear from both of our Corporation Commission candidates: Commissioner Sandra Kennedy running for re-election and ASU Senior Global Futures Scientist Lauren Kuby. They can share with us the stark differences between themselves and their Republican opponents. The Corporation Commission debate has already occurred, but you can listen to the debate HERE.
We will also hear from Jim Pederson, one of our four Democratic candidates running for the Central Arizona Water Conservation District. We’ll also hear from our retired school teachers and great candidates: Representative Judy Schwiebert who is running for re-election and AZ Senate candidate Jeanne Casteen.
Pizza and postcards – What a combination! We will be hosting a working event just before the LD2 meeting. We will be affixing a label, stamp, and brief message to our postcards. Make sure you bring your favorite pen and a non-alcoholic beverage.
Help us with our 20,000+ single shot postcards and get some pizza for your efforts. However, in order to participate and ensure we have enough pizza, you must contact Meg at 602-741-2373 (text) no later than Tuesday at 5pm.
Stick around to get your Repeal HB2853 petition notarized and collected by LD2 Secretary, Rivko Knox. Meet your neighbors, talk with candidates, and grab a cookie (but please bring your own non-alcoholic drink).
Please make sure to bring your non-perishable food & pet food to the meeting where we are continuing our food drive collections to the PV Food Bank. We will be doing this at all of our monthly meetings because at LD2 we care about all of our neighbors.
If you are visiting us for the first time, we are at: 17811 N 32nd St. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone.

You may be wondering, what is a “single shot” and why is it important to LD2? A single shot is a political strategy to help increase the chances of getting your candidate elected. For the State House, where we have two elected representatives for our LD, we have intentionally placed one Democratic candidate to run in a race where two candidates can be on the ballot. To make this work, it requires us to convince our Democrat voters to essentially “throw away” their second vote and only vote for the one Democrat. We know that Independent voters will typically split their ballot and if there’s only one Democrat to choose, then all the votes will go to the single shot candidate.
Please take a look at these 2 short videos explaining the “single shot” strategy. Thanks to Laura Terech, running for AZ House of Representatives in LD4, for such a clear explanation.
Well done everyone!
Judy Schwiebert (State House LD2 Representative) and Jeanne Casteen (for LD2 State Senate) will be on the ballot!
Let’s continue to do what we can to make sure they both get elected in November!
