Somebody paid for the Voter Guide in your hands.
Thank you for reading the letter. Here is the rest in one screen.
Early ballots are out. The 2026 Arizona Voter Guide is already on its way to homes throughout Arizona because of friends like you. There are more households we can still reach before November 3. After that, the ballots will already be counted.
Your gift buys paper, printing, and postage, promotion of the personalized digital Voter Guide. That is the whole of the arithmetic.
Somewhere in Surprise, a woman is standing over her ballot at the kitchen counter. She made up her mind about girls’ sports years ago. She does not yet know there is a line on that ballot about it. She is not undecided. She is uninformed. Only one of those problems is expensive to solve, and we are running out of days to solve the cheap one.
Here is what I keep picturing. A Saturday morning two springs from now. Same girl, same scraped knees, same early bus. Nobody is in court about her. The roster spot she earned is hers, and it stays hers. A soccer field in Gilbert. A track in Yuma. A volleyball court in Flagstaff. A thousand ordinary mornings nobody will ever write about, because nothing went wrong.
You can create those opportunities. I do not mean that as a figure of speech.
I am not going to suggest an amount to you. You know what a leadership gift looks like at a moment like this one.
Grateful for you,
Peter Gentala
President, Center for Arizona Policy
