Make Elections Fair AZ

Chuck Coughlin & Sarah Smallhouse of the @MakeAZFair initiative join @OpenPrimaryUSA's last Primary Buzz Discussion of the year to round up Lessons Learned from the Campaign Trail. Dive into where the #openprimary movement is now: what’s working? What’s not? How can we effectively grow in 2025 to set us up for success in 2026.

🤔Prop 140 aimed to amend the constitution to allow #openprimaries. Meanwhile, lawmakers pushed an opposing measure Prop 133, to preserve the current system and "confuse voters — not to win," said @ejmontini via @guardian. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…

We are proud to work alongside organizations committed to a better future for all voters. @representus @OperationVAV @fairvote @RankTheVoteUSA @RepresentWomen

We hear the nearly 7 million Americans across nine states who cast ballots in favor of election reform. Our commitment to the voters first movement is as strong as ever. bit.ly/3YO655U

Our team cannot thank you enough for the time, energy, and treasure you put into Make Elections Fair Arizona. The committee extends our gratitude to our generous donors who empowered our campaign on our strenuous journey to get the initiative on the ballot and withstand multiple lawsuits from the opposition. We owe immense thanks to our dedicated and spirited volunteers who gave us countless hours of their time to get #Prop140 on the ballot. The voices behind every op-ed, every rally cry, and every cheer were vital to this victory.

We’ve listened to voters, and we’re determined to refine our approach, returning with a proposal that resonates with Arizonans even more strongly. ⏩While the outcome was not what we hoped, we wanted to share our reflections on the challenges we faced and the lessons learned that will guide our path forward.
