The time has come for my fellow Arizona Republicans to return to the core foundations of the Grand Old Party.
Our party used to stand for the belief that every Arizonan, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the freedom, opportunity and security to live out their American Dream.
But since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Republicans have yet to course correct. The Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our fundamental freedoms.
Now more than ever, we need leaders who will put country over party.
I believe my party has a moral and ethical responsibility to restore faith in our democratic institutions. In the spirit of the late Sen. John McCain’s motto, “Country First,” I call on other Arizona Republicans to join me in choosing country over party this election and to vote against Donald Trump.
...
~ Republican John Giles is the mayor of Mesa, Arizona.
There was a time when the Grand Ol' Party defined themselves as fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, and national security hawks. No longer. Increasingly it is an ego-driven party with only one platform - to advance the interest of one man and his family. Everyone else be dammed.

Why, as a Republican mayor, I support Kamala Harris over Trump
Arizona Republicans like me can emulate Sen. John McCain's motto of 'Country First' and beat back Trump and his threat to democracy.
