So a couple of things. First of all, thank you for being a member. I'm going to speak pretty candidly about your state because I know your state actually pretty well. And I'm going to kind of give you just kind of a take on it. And you can agree or disagree on it.

uh first of all i'm actually going to go back to i go to new mexico two or three times a year to speak i i love new mexico it's great people i will say a couple things number one it's called the land of enchantment for a reason there are some of the weirdest spiritual stuff i've ever encountered in my life i talked about it openly i was hexed at a church once there's some very weird like pagan voodoo stuff that still exists in the albuquerque kind of santa fe here's the problem half of your state

Is Hispanic. It's not a problem, but that they vote very, very Democrat, as you well know. And there is a ton of fraud on the Native American reservations, a ton of voter registration fraud that just does not get rooted out. The second of which, which is actually the bigger problem, is your white liberal Santa Fe problem. Right.

So your white liberal Santa Fe problem is you kind of have this ruling class of artsy types that have moved to Santa Fe. They tend to have a lot of money and they are very, very, very left wing, as you would probably agree with. And so the other part that concerns me is that you really do not have a strong conservative base.

The strongest would be the southeastern part of the state, which would be Roswell or Carlsbad or Artesia or Hobbs or Clovis, that kind of southeastern part of the state. I think that generating more turnout there. I recently had a Zoom call with some really well-meaning New Mexico philanthropists and

And I was just kind of in a mood, to be honest, because people keep on asking me to save their state. Charlie, can you save Oregon? Can you save Illinois? Can you save Rhode Island? Can you save California? And my new answer is no, I can't. And I don't know if it's the best solution, honestly, to just keep on fighting when you're outnumbered so much. In the end, states must save themselves.

I will tell you, Val, we would welcome you with open arms to come to Arizona. We are right on the verge of one of the most exciting moments in Arizona history where we could take back the state for good and turn it into a Florida. The voter registration numbers show that the quality of candidates show that we're raising a serious amount of money for ballot chasing and voter reg and.

All of that, we are going to really lean in on it. In 2026, it is the first year in over a decade where we do not have a U.S. Senate seat being run. Now, why does that matter? Well, when you have a U.S. Senate seat, you get tens of millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of out-of-state money that cares a lot about Arizona. And then it has downstream positive effects for other Democrats.

So, for example, Mark Kelly in 2022, if Mark Kelly would not have been on the ballot in 2022, even with all the other issues, Carrie Lake probably would have beat Katie Hobbs. But Mark Kelly poured one hundred and twenty million dollars into his Senate race, which then got out more Democrats. And it was very hard terrain for us to navigate in twenty twenty six here in Arizona.

We do not have a U.S. Senate seat. A lot of the money across the country will dry up and will not come to Arizona. There'll be some money, but it will instead go to Georgia. It'll go to North Carolina. It will go to Maine. It will go to states like Michigan. And Arizona will be like, oh, it's a governor's seat. We care about that, but we're going to go pour our money elsewhere.
