What Fundamental FREEDOMS Do We Support?

The SaddleBrooke Democratic Club (SBDC) is an organization within our 55+ community below Southern Arizona’s beautiful Santa Catalina Mountain range just outside of Tucson.
Our organization is open to anyone who supports the fundamental freedoms due to all Arizona residents. We strive to educate voters and elect candidates who stand up for freedom through our monthly meetings, bi-annual social events, and ongoing activities.
Welcome to the SaddleBrooke, Arizona Democratic Club
our 2026 Annual Dinner and Fundraiser SOlD out in mid-november.
Important Announcement About Our Annual Fundraising Dinner
Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026
(Doors open at 4:30 pm, HOA 2 Ballroom)
We have been informed that Attorney General Kris Mayes is ill and will not be at our annual fundraising dinner on Sunday Feb. 1, 2026.
We share your disappointment, but Nick Mansour, a terrific candidate for Arizona State Treasurer, has graciously stepped in to speak with us.
More information about Nick:
Nick is a Democratic business executive who has launched a campaign for Arizona state treasurer, promising to bring accountability and a data-driven approach to managing the state’s $31 billion in assets.
He is a Tucson native who is entering an open race, as Kimberly Yee is term-limited and running in the Republican primary for state superintendent of public instruction.
Nick is a third-generation Arizonan who graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School before earning a degree in industrial engineering and an MBA from Stanford.
To Sign Nick’s Nomination Petition: go.azsos.gov/33vm
Nick's campaign website is here: www.mansourforarizona.com/
At our dinner this Sunday (5 pm, SB HOA 2 Ballroom), we look forward to a great night of good food, good drink, and good friendship amongst 300 Saddlebrooke Democrats and supporters.
See you soon!

OUTRAGES OF THE WEEK:
What's goin' on, people?
Billions $ in SNAP food allotments are cruelly being withheld by
the Trump administration.
From the Atlantic: What’s a Scandal When Everything Is Outrageous?
Trump’s entire administration is blatantly corrupt. The fact that no one
seems to care shows just how low the standards of behavior have fallen
in Washington.
Have a Good Week. Stay Calm and Carry On.
