My name is JoAnna Mendoza. In the Marine Corps, we have a saying: lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

I’m running for Congress in the most competitive seat in Arizona. Together, we will flip Arizona's 6th blue.

Spread the word.

Yesterday’s conversation with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social, Jon Tester, Jason Crow, and @mendoza4az.bsky.social was another reminder of how corruption and rising costs are hurting working Americans. It’ll take real work to take on these issues, but with team members like this, we can get the job done.

We’re proud to endorse @mendoza4az.bsky.social to represent AZ-06 in Congress.

She understands that repro freedom is a fundamental right—and she’ll fight for every person’s ability to make their own decisions about their lives, bodies, and futures.

We’re with her. And we’re ready to win.

Any day that you can spend with a veteran is a good day. This morning, I had the chance to join veterans and their families in Tucson to honor all our servicemembers who served our country with honor, valor, and grit.

Happy Veterans Day, #AZ06!

While the Navy was my first love, the Marine Corps is my soulmate. Happy 250th birthday to the Corps - and to all Marines, past, present, and future, thank you for carrying the legacy of honor and duty. Semper Fi! 🇺🇸🌎⚓️

@mendoza4az.bsky.social is the Marine veteran who will unseat Juan Ciscomani in AZ-06!

JoAnna’s story of lifting herself from humble beginnings in rural AZ to Marine Drill Sergeant to 2 Masters degrees is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard.

I understand what SNAP means to #AZ06 families. Without it, I wouldn't have grown up healthy and strong enough to serve our country for twenty years. I'm appalled that starting tomorrow, so many in AZ may not be able to put food on the table because DC can't come to an agreement.

Hundreds of servicemembers in Sierra Vista are furloughed, leaving their families in limbo and our national security at risk. Every day this shutdown continues, #AZ06 families are paying the price for inaction and failed representation.
Furloughs at Arizona’s biggest Army post mean widespread pain in Sierra Vista
Roughly one in five people in Sierra Vista, Ariz., works at Fort Huachuca, where the Army trains drone operators and intelligence professionals. With thousands of civilians furloughed, the government shutdown is hitting the area especially hard.

Happy to spend some time with the Arizona Education Association’s Retired Tucson Chapter!

Teachers are the backbone of our communities, and it was great to hear about the issues that are most important to them. I’ll always stand with our #AZ06 educators - past and present!

23 days.

23 days of our federal workers not getting paid. Some are continuing to work without a paycheck. 

In #AZ06 and across the country, families are puling double shifts while Congress can't do the one job they were elected to do. Enough excuses.

42 years ago, 241 U.S. service members, including 220 Marines, were killed in the Beirut barracks bombing.

Their courage reminds us that service isn’t about politics. It’s about people and the duty to one another that binds us as Americans. 🇺🇸

🚨 NEW POLL! 🚨 A new #AZ06 poll shows me ahead of Ciscomani! These numbers confirm what I'm hearing every single day talking to folks in Southern Arizona.

Families are ready for new leadership - and I will carry the commitment of service I've held my whole life to DC.

Our grassroots movement is going to carry us forward to victory next year. Let's make it happen, #AZ06!

Arizonans are fed up with career politicians like Juan Ciscomani who say one thing at home and vote the opposite in DC. They’re ready for new leadership that puts people first.

Proud to stand beside these inspiring working-class women who are reshaping America’s political landscape.
