Gabrielle with Republicans at Press Conference
“Arizona needs leaders like Gabrielle who have the vision to see how a new industry can bloom in the desert and then do the hard work needed to turn those ideas into reality. I wholeheartedly endorse Gabrielle Giffords for Congress.” – Arizona Corporation Commission Chairwoman and Republican Kris Mayes
“Gabrielle represents Southern Arizona with integrity. When faced with a tough decision, she does not simply do what is politically popular. Rather, she opens herself up to the questions and concerns of the public and really listens to what her community has to say. She may not agree with every comment she receives, but she always takes each concern to heart and makes her decision based on what she believes is right for our district and our state. Sending Gabrielle back to Congress is the right thing for Southern Arizona, and I am proud to endorse her.” Lynne Skelton, Republican Mayor of Sahuarita
“Gabrielle is not your average politician. She works tirelessly for her constituents, no matter who they are. I am a life-long Republican, and when I received notice that my car dealership was being shut down, Gabrielle was the only elected official, on either side of the aisle, who helped me. Gabrielle is a true public servant, and I have pledged to her to do everything I can to make sure she continues to represent us in Washington. I won’t always agree with her on every issue but I can always trust that she is listening to all sides and doing her best to fairly represent her district.” - Don Mackey, Tucson-area automotive dealer
