Release: Arizona Democrats Honor our Veterans, Celebrate Fourth of July
PHOENIX — The Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee released the following statement in honor of our veterans and in celebration of the Fourth of July:
“On this Fourth of July holiday, we honor the service of the men and women who served, and those currently serving in the military and their families who serve with them, as we celebrate America’s history and it’s founding fathers. Our gratitude to our veterans will never be enough, compared to the sacrifices they make every day for our country.
This year the ADLCC is proud to have fifteen veterans running for office out of the 100 plus Democratic candidates running for the state legislature. We applaud their service to our country and their continued commitment by running for legislative office.” - Charlie Fisher, Executive Director of the ADLCC
