Statement: Kirsten Engel re-ups failed extreme campaign
April 12, 2023
“Southern Arizona voters rejected extreme liberal Kirsten Engel just five months ago. Engel will lose again because her dangerous agenda of defunding the police, raising taxes and supporting open borders are far out of the mainstream.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
Background:
- Engel supported defunding the police and accepted support from defund the police groups
- Engel supported raising taxes and reckless spending fueling inflation
- Engel backed higher gas prices and said she wanted to “make it a pain to drive”
- Engel denied there is a crisis at the border
- Engel proposed “demilitarizing” the military
