Thank you for this information. I will definitely send an email to all the senators listed. Is there a script email that we should be following? Unfortunately I cannot use the request to speak option on the AZ Legislature site, I have an account, but have not gone to the AZ capitol and signed in on one of their Kiosks, which is required in order to use the request to speak option :(

Yeah, I learned about that too when we were trying to sort it out, but at least sending emails will help.

In terms of a form, I don’t have anything specifically, but what I can say is tell them how you feel about the potential for having people’s voices being trampled by a special interest. That is what I did. The fact that this is even this far along is just insulting. Share how you feel. Being authentic to how you feel will carry weight!

Thank you, I will go ahead and send them all my thoughts on this! Appreciate the help and yes it is unfortunate the way they have the speak option set up, not everyone can make it to the AZ capitol :(

Here is what Jackie put on Facebook. I have called them all. One lady answering the phone said, you’re from Marana and I said yes. She then said they getting a lot calls and had 31 emails. I called them and it was very easy, told them to vote No on HB 2873. One and done.

As soon as I know anything I will update for sure! These systems are a bit weird to navigate for sure!

You are so welcome! I have told a lot of people that live near me to call. We have to continue to fight them.

Hi Colin,

Do you know where bill 2873 stands? Did they vote no on it on 3/31/26?

I was trying to find out and couldn’t find anything.

The system is anything but intuitive. I don’t fully know either. I know it passed out of the Rules Committee and it is 15-19 For/Against in the RTS system, but not sure where it stands.

Thank you.

See you at the meeting next Tuesday!
