‘It’s Time For Change’ – Socialist Arizona Candidate Wants Jeffries Out
What was said
"I'll go to jail for justice again before I ever take a dime from Apac. We can't serve two masters. We can't be taking corporate pack money. We can't be prioritizing the donor class and the working class at the same time."
Kai Newkirk, running against incumbent Greg Stanton in Arizona's 4th district, declares absolute opposition to accepting AIPAC funding in contrast to his opponent whose top contributor is AIPAC. Newkirk, who has been arrested over 15 times in civil disobedience actions, frames this as part of a broader rejection of corporate money in politics. He accuses Stanton of being 'actively complicit in the genocide in Gaza' due to his voting record on Israel.
