OVOV Congratulates Arizona Primary Winners, Eyes November Elections
Phoenix, AZ – Candidates endorsed by Our Voice, Our Vote Arizona (OVOV) PAC, won races up and down the ballot in last week’s primary elections. The endorsed winners include candidates for office ranging from the U.S. Senate to Chandler city council.
OVOV PAC invested over $530,000 in independent expenditures to support state Representatives Oscar De Los Santos and Junelle Cavero and Chandler City Council candidate OD Harris, all of whom won their primaries.
“These victories are not only electoral wins; they are declarations of our community’s power and commitment to a progressive future for Arizona,” said Sena Mohammed, executive director of Our Voice, Our Vote Arizona. “We are thrilled to see such capable leaders ready to champion our values. Today we celebrate these victories, and tomorrow we’re back to work as we prepare for the November elections. This is only the beginning of our journey to build the Arizona we deserve.”
Arizona will, once again, be at the center of the political universe this fall. Democrats need to flip just two seats in both the State Senate and House of Representatives to gain control for the first time in more than three decades. And the state is once again crucial to the battle for control of the White House and U.S. Senate.
More than 100 canvassers gathered at OVOV’s main office early in the morning on Election Day to distribute literature and mobilize voters. This initiative was a part of the organization’s “Power of Us” campaign aimed at registering and mobilizing new voters belonging to the “New American Majority.” As part of that campaign OVOV will knock on 1 million doors and contact every registered Black voter in the state before November’s general election. Already, the team has knocked on nearly 200,000 doors toward that goal.
“These efforts are just the tip of the iceberg” Mohammed added. “With the November elections less than 100 days away, our team is ramping up our efforts to ensure every potential voter is registered and ready. This is our pathway to change.”
