Media Resources

Updated June 16

With ballots dropping on June 18 and the majority of voters expected to vote early, voters need to IMMEDIATELY see broadcast ads in the Tucson media market or, if broadcast isn’t possible, mail, streaming, and/or digital ads districtwide that say that: 

Given her actions while a member of the Tucson School Board and Pima County Board of Supervisors, Adelita Grijalva isn’t who Southern Arizona needs fighting back against the attacks from Donald Trump and Elon Musk against our democracy and public schools.

As a member of the Tucson school board and as a Pima County Supervisor, Grijalva has repeatedly and illegally used her power to silence her critics while making government less accountable. She killed a proposal for a watchdog position for Tucson schools and banned critics from board meetings after voting to close half a dozen schools and lay off hundreds of teachers

• On the Tucson school board, Grijalva slashed a proposal for a watchdog position for Tucson public schools and removed a critic from board meetings. 
• As Supervisor, she once again banned a constituent from meetings after they criticized the board. A review later found that Grijalva’s action was against the law.
• When Tucson public schools needed more resources to get kids on track, Grijalva voted to close half a dozen schools and lay off hundreds of teachers. 
• Under Grijalva’s watch, the district allowed bigger class sizes, reading and math test scores were abysmal, and student enrollment plummeted.

It is important that any ads about Adelita Grijalva avoid personal attacks.

It is important that all communications follow the above messaging rather than positive ads or canvassing.
