A Message from Senator Paula Aboud
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for giving me the honor to serve Tucson and our state these last five years as your State Senator from District 28. What started out as a more collaborative work environment in the Senate five years ago has become a battleground this year as we are trying to stop the conservative, right wing legislators who are promoting an agenda that forces their ideology onto the rest of the citizens.
I have been proud to be an outspoken voice in the Legislature. People regularly ask me, “How can you go up there day after day and work with these people?” My reply to them is that I gain strength every time I stand up and speak out on behalf of our community and our values. I point out how we Democrats stand for a different vision of Arizona: a vision of inclusion and compassion, of courtesy and respect, of honoring our history & maintaining cultural diversity, of togetherness not divisiveness, of reasoned discourse not ideological ranting. Every day that I am up there, I grow stronger in my resolve to be a voice of reason in the sea of sometimes utter insanity.
