Somebody you will never meet paid for your Arizona Voter Guide.

You asked for the Arizona Voter Guide. Most people do not. They get a ballot, look at forty names they have never heard, and guess. You decided to do it differently, and I wanted to say thank you first.

My name is Peter Gentala, and I lead Center for Arizona Policy, an Arizona ministry working on the issues that shape families here. We have published the Arizona Voter Guide every election cycle for nearly 30 years.

Here is the one thing I will ask.

The Voter Guide costs nothing to anyone who asks for one, but it is not free to print. A neighbor of yours, somewhere in Arizona, covered the cost of yours without ever knowing your name.

Early ballots were mailed in the first week of October. There are more households we can still reach before November 3. After that, the ballots will already be counted.

A gift of $25 puts the Voter Guide in front of more than 75 additional Arizona voters before they fill theirs out. It goes straight into paper, printing, and postage, and gets somebody else the same opportunity you are about to have.

Twenty-five dollars. That is the whole ask.

Two springs from now, a girl in Gilbert is on the field she earned, and nobody is in court about her. A track in Yuma. A volleyball court in Flagstaff. Ordinary mornings nobody will ever write about, because nothing went wrong. You can help put that there, starting with the ballot on your counter.
