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.

Great to spend time with Vets for Mendoza this week supporting homeless veterans! I had the chance to hear directly from so many #AZ06 veterans and their families who are ready for leadership that respects their service and delivers real results.

Juan Ciscomani voted to create a health care crisis, then refused to negotiate a deal. We would not be in this situation if Ciscomani hadn’t folded to party leaders and cut our health care in the first place. Now #AZ06 families are paying the price.
Obamacare subsidy extension bills rejected by Senate, not scheduled for votes in House
Breaking with other Republicans, U.S. Rep. Juan Ciscomani has called for an extension that looks increasingly unlikely.

On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, join me in pausing to honor the heroes who gave their lives answering the call to serve - especially those on the USS Arizona. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT!🚨 Grateful to have the support of Patrick Murphy!
As a Member of Congress and the Undersecretary of the Army, Patrick was a true example of servant leadership, and I'm honored to have him in this fight to flip #AZ06!

Today is Giving Tuesday! As a kid who didn't have a coat some winters, supporting an organization like this can make all the difference to kids growing up in poverty.

Be An Elf – Christmas Charity for Needy Kids
She mailed her letter to Santa and asked only for a warm coat, new shoes, and a toy. Our volunteer adopted it at the USPS Operation Santa ® website, and made her wish come true. When you adopt a child’s letter to Santa, it’s micro-philanthropy, direct from you to a child, with no charity involved.

I took an oath to serve and protect the Constitution and its people, and that oath never expires. The military should never be about politics - it should be about our country and serving. Period.

Last weekend, I was joined by Congressman Jason Crow, former Sen. Jon Tester, and @tiffanymuller.bsky.social to hold a community conversation in Casa Grande focused on the affordability crisis.
#AZ06 deserves representation that will always put them first - and I will be their champion in Congress.

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.

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.

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.
