MESA, AZ — Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance is expected to attend political events in the Phoenix metro area this week.
Vance will first be joined by political activist Charlie Kirk at a rally hosted by Turning Point Action on Sept. 4.
The event will be held at Mesa's Generation Church and is expected to begin at 4 p.m.
This will be Vance's second Maricopa County visit since being named Trump's running mate. Vance attended a rally in Glendale in July with former President Trump and several other prominent Republicans.
In response to Vance’s visit to Arizona, former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords released the following statement:
“Arizonans value our freedoms and our families. But Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Project 2025 agenda would stomp out our freedom to make decisions about how we start those families. Trump brags about overturning Roe v. Wade, which endangers IVF treatments and abortion access, while Senator Vance mocks women who are unable to have children,” said former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. “Mark and I are one of thousands of couples who were trying to grow our family through IVF before I was shot and our dream was stolen from us. We didn't have a choice. This is personal. I am working tirelessly to elect Kamala Harris because she will fight to protect freedom and ensure Arizonans’ choices remain our own.”
