🚨¡ENDORSEMENT ALERT!🚨Proud to have the support of @latinovictoryus.bsky.social in our race to flip #AZ06!

LVF knows the importance of bringing our communities' voices to Congress, and that's what I'll do. I look forward to working together to bring leadership rooted in service to DC!

On Medicaid’s 60th anniversary, I’m thinking about how vital it was for my family. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to serve our country for 20 years.

I’m running for Congress because I'm sick of politicians who do not understand the lived experiences of working people.

That’s what makes the Hellcats different — four women Veterans running to flip the House and take on MAGA extremists.

Authentic. Tough. Ready to lead.

"The are telling the truth & fighting for the people. *THAT'S* the future for Democrats-not just another way to film a video."

Today, on Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we honor the brave Americans who put service above self. They answered the call in a time of need to defend freedom and protect peace. We will never forget their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Utility costs emerge as campaign issue as Democrats pan sweeping budget law - Roll Call Some Democratic candidates say provisions in the sweeping GOP tax and spending law may result in higher energy prices for Americans. 

Juan Ciscomani voted for the Big Billionaire Bill knowing it would gut clean-energy investments, kill good-paying Arizona jobs, and raise utility costs for working families. He once again chose party over us.

I spoke to Roll Call on the impacts this will have on #AZ06. ⬇️

Great to reconnect with so many friends from the Hispanic Leadership Institute! HLI was a wonderful resource to help me transition back into the community after retiring from military service, which is difficult for so many veterans.

Juan Ciscomani continues to be an empty suit for his party. His vote to cut public broadcasting funding will critically endanger #AZ06 rural communities, and he has to answer for it.

Today, we remember the legacy of Congressman John Lewis, who showed us what it looks like to fight for what you believe in by getting in to Good Trouble. As our rights face growing threats, let’s honor his memory by:

✅ Checking your voter registration
✅ Help a friend or family member get registered

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our campaign so far, including over 60,000 grassroots supporters! Because of you, we're going to flip #AZ06 next year. A monsoon is coming, and it's named Mendoza. ⚡️

Now let's go win this thing.

Congratulations to @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social‬ on her big victory last night! Southern Arizona is lucky to have her leadership, and I can't wait to serve our communities together in Congress.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and you know I had to celebrate... 🍦

Marana is one of the fastest-growing communities in Arizona, and my son and I loved checking out the brand new DQ that just opened up!

Thank you to the Rincon Valley Citizens for Democracy for inviting me to speak to the group!

Always great to connect with engaged neighbors who care about the future of Southern Arizona. I’m ready to fight for our democracy and lower costs for #AZ06 families.

Live in #AZ06 and pissed off about the budget bill that leaves seniors, veterans, and families behind? Sign our petition to help get me on the ballot so we can send Juan Ciscomani packing and bring servant leadership to Southern Arizona!

Juan Ciscomani pretends he cares about jobs, but he will always put his party first. He voted for a bill that would put over 27k+ good paying, manufacturing and energy jobs in #AZ06 at risk of being cut.

We need leadership that will invest in AZ workers and NEVER sell them out.

“What pisses me off the most... is this sentiment that somehow people want to be on these programs.” – @mendoza4az.bsky.social, Veteran running to unseat Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani

Her parents were farmworkers. Government aid helped them survive.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT!🚨

Proud to have the support of Southern AZ champion Ron Barber! Ron is a true servant leader who led with integrity in Congress and continues to fight for safer communities and opportunity for all. Honored to have him on the team to flip #AZ06!

I served 20 years in the Navy/Marine Corps because I believe in the promise of America, where freedom and opportunity belong to all of us.

That promise is worth fighting for.
Freedom isn’t free. Democracy needs defenders.

This #IndependenceDay, take the oath with me.

We already knew Juan Ciscomani was a coward, and he reminded us again today. His vote for the One Big Ugly Bill shows he cares more about party bosses and billionaires than #AZ06.

I won’t sit back and let a spineless politician treat us like we’re disposable.

July is National Hot Dog Month! 🌭 And in Southern AZ, that means the iconic Sonoran Dog. Team Mendoza had the chance to stop by El Güero Canelo in Tucson to grab some, and they sure didn’t disappoint!

Do you have a favorite hot dog spot?

Fuel Jo's Mission to Flip AZ-06 Today! Will you join me in sending a single mother and a working class veteran to Congress?

Flipping #AZ06 blue is crucial to taking back the House. Our grassroots momentum is massive—but we need YOU. Chip in now to bring real leadership to Southern Arizona!

The path to the House majority for Democrats runs through Arizona. ⬇️

When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, on June 28, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world. Told through first-hand interviews, STONEWALL UPRISING recalls the fervently hostile climate in which the gay community was forced to live—and the uprising that launched the gay rights movement.

56 years ago, patrons at the Stonewall Inn pushed back, sparking the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.

It became a turning point in the fight for equality. Let’s finish the job by electing leaders who protect all our freedoms.

We've come so far since the patrons at #Stonewall stood up and fought back that night 56 years ago today.

There's still more work to be done, but the spirit of Stonewall lives on in all of us. May it continue to inspire, fuel, and teach each of us in the fight for equality.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT!🚨

@lgbtqvictoryfund.bsky.social just announced that they are joining our mission to flip #AZ06 blue! Looking forward to working together to bring leadership that represents all of our communities to Congress!

This weekend, I joined concerned Arizonans to spotlight the catastrophic impact of the reckless budget that Juan Ciscomani voted for - one that rips away health care, food assistance, and jobs from hardworking families.

In Congress, I'll always have the spine to fight for #AZ06.

Keeping Iran nuclear-free without dragging America into another costly, endless conflict must remain our highest priority.

Had the opportunity to speak to the wonderful Democratic Women of Southeast Arizona this week! What a great crowd. They are fired up and ready to go to flip #AZ06 blue and bring real leadership to Southern Arizona!
