MANY
MANY GOVERNORS HAVE NOT FINISHED OTHER TERM.
WE HAVE SEEN DOUG DUCEY.
>> I AM GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU.
KRYSTEN SINEMA IS TAKING THE
GOOD
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE TONIGHT.
HERE TONIGHT. I SPOKE WITH CONGRESSMAN MARTHA
McSALLY AND I AM THANKFUL FOR
HER SERVICE.

THEY WEAR OUR COUNTRY'S
UNIFORM.
UNIFORM.
UNIFORM. TODAY AND EVERY DAY WE HONOR
THEIR SERVICE AND SACRIFICES.
THEY HAVE GIVEN EVERYTHING TO
PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS AND
DEMOCRACY.
DEMOCRACY. IT IS BECAUSE OF THEM THAT WE
ARE HERE TODAY.
I AM GRATEFUL TO ALL OF THE
SERVICEMEMBERS INCLUDING TWO OF
MY BROTHERS PAUL AND STERLING.
AND ALSO I AM GRATEFUL FOR
MARTHA McSALLY. EVERY ARIZONAN
DESERVES A LEADER WHO WILL
FIGHT FOR THEM IN THAT UNITED
STATES -- UNITED STATES
TOGETHER
TOGETHER OVER THE LAST 13 MONTHS WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
SOMETHING INCREDIBLE. WE HAVE
TALKED TO AND ENGAGE WITH MORE
PEOPLE FROM ARIZONA THAN A.
VOTING IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF
OUR DEMOCRACY.
OUR DEMOCRACY. OUR COUNTRY IS AT ITS BEST WHEN
EVERYONE IS ENGAGED.
EVERYONE VOICE IS HEARD.
THAT WORK IS NOT OVER.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERY VOTE IS
I
I AM
I AM SO
I AM SO HONORED THAT PETE -- THAT ARIZONA CHOSE OUR VISION
OF A BETTER ARIZONA.
IT IS NOW TIME TO DO TO WORK.
ARIZONA HAD A CHOICE BETWEEN
TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.
ONE FOCUSED ON FEAR AND POLITICS
AND ONE FOCUSED ON ARIZONA AND
ISSUES THAT MATTERED EVERY DAY.
ARIZONA REJECTED WHAT IS BECOME
FAR TOO COMMON IN OUR COUNTRY.
PETTY, PERSONAL ATTACKS.
DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET
ELECTED.
ELECTED.
ELECTED. IT IS DANGEROUS.
ADOLESCENTS WHO WE ARE AS A
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. THERE IS AN APPROVED THERE IS A
BETTER WAY FOR US.
WE CAN WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE DIFFERENT.
ARE DIFFERENT. WE CAN BE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE
THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM US.
WE CAN LOVE AND CARE ABOUT
PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN
US.
US.
US. WE
US. WE CAN KEEP PEOPLE DIFFERENT
FROM US SAFE.
WE CAN CARE DEEPLY ABOUT EACH
OTHER EVEN IF WE DISAGREE.
WE CAN START BY LISTENING TO
SOMEONE WITH A DIFFERENT
OPINION.
OPINION.
OPINION. LISTENING TO UNDERSTAND. WE CAN
TRY TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER
PERSON'S LIFE EXPERIENCE AND
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. WE CAN TRY TO IMAGINE WHAT
ANOTHER PERSON, WESTLIFE MAY BE
LIKE. PERHAPS HER APPEARANCES
HAVE SHAPED HER LIFE.
JUST LIKE OUR EXPERIENCES HAS
SHAPED OUR LIVES.
WE CAN ARTICULATE OUR OWN
OPINIONS AND BELIEFS WITHOUT
BELIEVING OR SAYING THAT
SOMEONE ELSE'S ARE WRONG.
WE CAN EMBRACE DIFFERENCES
WHILE SINKING COMMON GROUND.
AS I HAD TO SERVE OUR GREAT
STATE AND THAT UNITED STATES
I
I PLEDGE
I PLEDGE TO DOUBLE DOWN ON THIS.
THIS.
THIS. DURING MY SIX YEARS IN CONGRESS
I
TRY
TRY TO
TRY TO BE
TRY TO BE A CHEERFUL LAWYER. WILLING TO WORK WITH ANYONE TO
GET THINGS DONE.
I TRIED HARD TO HAVE OTHERS SEE
OUR COMMON HUMANITY AND SEE OUR
COMMON GROUNDS.
COMMON GROUNDS. WE HAVE DELIVERED RESULTS FOR
FAMILIES, FOR VETERANS AND FOR
BUSINESS IN ARIZONA.
DURING THIS CAMPAIGN I HAVE
BEEN HONORED TO MEET MANY
PEOPLE FROM ARIZONA IN THEIR
WORK PLACES, AND COFFEE SHOPS
AND IN NEIGHBORHOODS.
I HAVE LISTENED TO THE STORIES.
THE -- THAT REMINDED ME WHY WE
DO THIS WORK AND HOW MUCH THERE
IS LEFT TO DO.
ONE OF THE VERY FIRST ARIZONA
TO JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN IS A LEO.
IS HE HERE TONIGHT?
NO LEO?
NO LEO?
NO LEO? LEO IS A PROUD AIR FORCE
VETERAN WHO SERVED OUR COUNTRY
WITH HONOR AND DIGNITY.
TODAY HE IS BATTLING CANCER.
BUT IN BETWEEN HIS CHEMOTHERAPY
TREATMENTS HE SPENT HIS TIME IN
THESE LAST MONTHS CALLING
VOTERS BECAUSE HE KNOWS
FIRSTHAND JUST HOW MUCH IS ON
THE LINE.
THE LINE.
THE LINE. A WOMAN NAMED MICHELLE FROM
GLENDALE RECENTLY SHARED HER
STORY WITH ME. HER SON WAS BORN
WITH ONE KIDNEY.
SHE IS WORRIED HOW HE WILL
AFFORD HIS CARE.
THIS IS IF HE LOSES PROTECTION
WITH PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS. I ALSO MET A WOMAN WHOSE
HUSBAND WAS A DISABLED VETERAN.
HE HAS AGENT ORANGE.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS
AMERICANS TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERY VETERAN GETS THE CARE
THAT HE OR SHE DESERVES.
THIS CAMPAIGN WAS ABOUT LEO.
IT WAS ALSO ABOUT MICHELLE. HE
WAS ALSO ABOUT AN AND ALL OF
THE OTHER ARIZONANS WHO ARE
SICK AND TIRED OF DYSFUNCTION
IN WASHINGTON AND THEY WANT
LEADERS TO PUT ASIDE PARTY
LABELS.
LABELS.
LABELS. THEY WANT TO FOCUS ON THINGS
GETTING IT DONE.
-- GETTING
AS
AS YOUR
AS YOUR SENATOR THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WILL DO.
I WILL NOT CALL NAMES.
I WILL NOT PLAY POLITICAL
GAMES.
GAMES.
GAMES. I
GAMES. I WILL SHOP EVERY DAY AND TO
WORK TO KEEP ARIZONA MOVING
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. -- I WILL SHOW UP EVERY DAY TO
WORK AND KEEP ARIZONA MOVING
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. A FEW MONTHS AGO WE LOST VETERAN
. HIS EXAMPLE SHINES THE LIGHT
ON OUR WAY FORWARD.
SENATOR JOHN McCAIN STOOD FOR
EVERYTHING THAT WE STAND FOR AS
ARIZONANS.
ARIZONANS. HE FOUGHT FOR WHAT WE BELIEVED
IN.
IN.
IN. JUST
IN. JUST ENDED UP FOR WHAT WAS
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. EVEN IF YOU STAND ALONE.
HE SERVED A CAUSE GREATER THAN
ONESELF.
ONESELF.
ONESELF. SENATOR McCAIN IS
IRREPLACEABLE.
IRREPLACEABLE. HIS EXAMPLE WILL GUIDE OUR NEXT
STEPS FORWARD.
STEPS FORWARD. HE TAUGHT US TO ALWAYS BRING
OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS.
TO SEEK COMPROMISE.
HE PUT COUNTRY AHEAD OF
IT
IT IS
IT IS UP
IT IS UP TO ALL OF US TO CARRY ON SENATOR McCAIN'S LEGACY.
ALMOST EVERYWHERE I GO I AM
ASKED THE SAME QUESTION.
HOW DID OUR COUNTRY GET TO THIS
PLACE?
PLACE?
PLACE? HOW CAN WE MAKE IT BETTER?
SOMETIMES THAT QUESTION IS
TARGETED TOWARDS CONGRESS.
HOW CAN WE WORK TOGETHER?
SOMETIMES THE QUESTION IS ABOUT
THE TELEVISION COMMERCIALS.
HAD TO GET THEM TO STOP.
IN EACH QUESTION AND THE ROOT
IS THE SAME.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
CAN WE FIX IT? EVERYONE
RECOGNIZE IT IS BROKEN.
REALLY WE ALL KNOW THE
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION.
SOLUTION. WE, THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT
COUNTRY, WE MUST FIX IT.
WE MUST BE AN ACTIVE PART OF
THE SOLUTION.
THE SOLUTION. WE MUST PUT DOWN HOURS STICKS
THAT ARE SHARPENED FOR BATTLE.
WE MUST TURN TO OUR NEIGHBORS
AND PICK THEM UP INSTEAD.
OUR CHALLENGE TODAY IS TO HEAL
THE RIFT IN OUR COUNTRY'S
FABRIC.
FABRIC.
FABRIC. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS
PEOPLE AND AS A NATION.
TO SET ASIDE OUR MINOR
DIFFERENCES.
DIFFERENCES. TO UNITE AROUND OUR COUNTRY AND
THE FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS
GUARANTEED BY OUR GREAT
CONSTITUTION.
CONSTITUTION. SENATOR McCAIN SAID WE HAVE
ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH IN COMMON
WITH EACH OTHER THAN
DISAGREEMENT.
DISAGREEMENT. IF WE COULD EACH OTHER THE
BENEFIT OF THE PRESUMPTION THAT
WE ALL LOVE OUR COUNTRY. WE
WOULD GET THROUGH THESE
CHALLENGING TIMES.
CHALLENGING TIMES. IT WILL NOT BE EASY.
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
BUT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
WE CAN MEET THE CHALLENGES THAT
OUR COUNTRY FACES.
WE CAN DO THIS DIFFERENTLY FOR
OUR COUNTRY, FOR FUTURE, OR
SENATOR McCAIN.
SENATOR McCAIN. ALSO FOR EACH OTHER.
I THINK WE MUST.
THANK
