Arizona Agenda

We're a daily political insider newsletter for political outsiders, run by two longtime local journalists. While our main target is state politics and government, we go anywhere we smell bullshit — from local school boards to the halls of Congress. Our goal is simple: Help Arizonans better understand the state's political scene and how the government works so they can make informed decisions and hold their leaders to account. We focus on the effects of political decisions and the people behind them. The Arizona Agenda fills in the gaps of traditional political reporting. We offer the background context, the gossip and peeks behind the scenes that help you understand the big picture of what's happening in Arizona. We're equal-opportunity harassers, not partisan warriors. But we don't believe that both sides of an argument always carry equal weight, and we don't pretend to give lies and nonsense (cough, election denialism, cough) an equal hearing in the name of bothsidesism. Some of this newsletter includes in-depth pieces cutting through the smoke and mirrors politicians use to confuse you. Some of it is watchdog stories about how the government is failing or screwing its citizens. But mostly, we just provide facts and point fingers — and hopefully inspire more people to get involved. We run a local independent publication that serves your interests — not clicks, some corporate overlord, wealthy donors or a political party. But to do that, we need your financial support.
