Walz held rallies in Flagstaff and Tucson, discussing reproductive rights, preserving Social Security, child tax credits, and other key issues.

"One vote per precinct in Arizona could be enough to turn this thing in the direction we know it needs to go," Walz said. 

Supporters for Walz all shared reasons they are voting for the Democratic ticket. 

One voter said her main concern was reproductive rights. 

"Mainly because I experienced an incident in my history, in my past, where I needed to take advantage of those services," Alexandria Maurer said. "I don't want to see that taken away for other women." 

Another voter said he was voting for Kamala Harris and Walz because of inclusion.

"It's showing no matter where you're from, your background, your race, your nationality, none of it matters, it just matters that we are taking care of each other as people," Kenny Anderson said.  "I feel like Harris and Walz both represent that." 

J.D. Vance addressed hundreds of supporters in Scottsdale, discussing key issues like border security, the fentanyl crisis, housing affordability, and other pressing concerns.

"We are in a very, very good spot in Arizona but I don't want us to get lazy and I don't want to rest on our laurels," Vance said. 

Supporters at the event said they were voting Republican due to certain issues impacting the state and country. 

"We've got people coming across here that don't belong here and the fact that they are here is a crime," Susan Cohen said, "I'm really thrilled that day one Trump will be getting people out of our country." 

Another voter said Trump and Vance represented hope for the country. 

"Donald Trump has done so much in terms of us making us be more patriotic again just joining together for commonality and purpose," she said.
