Why Arizona Democrats are building a Project 2025-style policy blueprint (with a focus on affordability)

PHOENIX — Arizona’s two Democratic congresswomen are taking a lesson from President Donald Trump and Project 2025.

U.S. Reps. Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva sat down with Arizonans on Saturday to hear their concerns about affordability and how lawmakers can fix them.

“It is critical for us to be thinking proactively and be ready to go on day one with the policies that we want to pass,” said Ansari, who represents Congressional District 3. “If there's one thing that I have learned from the Trump administration, is that they worked quickly and decisively, but to make life worse for people.”

About 100 Arizonans met with Ansari and Grijalva on Saturday, the second of four sessions the donor network Way to Win is holding across the country to hear from voters about how high costs are affecting their families. Breaking into small groups, they discussed their concerns and brainstormed possible solutions, such as single-payer health care and using solar and wind energy to bring down utility costs.

Ansari and Grijalva are holding Affordability Listening Tours that I saw reported on 3TV recently and went to find a link to share.
