“I’m proud to share that I support public power for Tucson.

I know what it’s like to have to choose between putting food on the table and keeping the lights on. No one should have to make that choice. But right now, our energy system is run by a for-profit monopoly that puts shareholders before people, and if that continues, things will only get worse.

Public power puts decisions in our hands. It means lower bills, faster progress toward clean energy, and choices made right here in Tucson with care for our community and our future.

A new independent study confirms it’s possible, but only if City leaders are ready and willing to take up the fight.

My opponent dismissed the idea as too expensive before the study even began. He says Tucson doesn’t have the political will to get it done. He’s wrong. What’s really lacking isn’t public will…it’s political courage!

I believe in Tucson. Ultimately, it’ll be up to voters to decide what kind of future we want, and the 3,500 supporting signatures that Tucson DSA has already gathered let's me know you're ready to choose public power.

If you want to help Tucson take the next step toward public power:
⚡ Follow @tucson_dsa and sign their petition
📅 Show up to the May 20th City Council meeting to pack the chambers for public power
✨ Bonus: Donate $20 or more and we’ll hook you up with one of our new “Power to the People” yard signs

Let’s take back our power. Together.”

I’m so grateful to have the support of community organizers like Xavier Martinez.

Xavi organizes with Amphi Liberation Mutual Aid (ALMA), and in this video, they share why they personally support our campaign for Ward 3.

They speak to the heart of this movement: community-rooted solutions, bold imagination, and deep care for our low-income and unhoused neighbors.

This campaign isn’t backed by big money or special interests - it’s powered by people who believe Tucson can be a city that puts care and justice first.

We need your help to win this thing - and we need it NOW.

Whether it’s knocking doors, making phone calls, or hosting a house party to introduce folks to the campaign - your time and energy will make the difference.

I believe in standing up for what’s right, not just what’s easy. Committee Members of the Arizona Democratic Party voted for Robert Branscomb II to lead. He deserves support, not sabotage. I’m calling on our elected leaders to respect the will of the people and stand for unity and accountability. Comment UNITY for the link to add your name to the petition.

Thanks to the success of our launch party and everyone that showed up to celebrate, we’re *so close* to unlocking Clean Elections matching funds, we can taste it! We only need 60 more individual donors to get there. Once we unlock public matched funding:

✅ Your $10 will = $20 for people-powered change
✅ Your $20 will = $40 for affordable housing & union jobs

Will you help us get there this weekend? I’m running a grassroots campaign against a well-funded opponent, so hitting this milestone is critical to my victory, and the sooner we hit it the sooner we can reach the critical mass to win in August and November!

Help me prove that Tucson stands with workers, renters, and families!

Happy May Day! Today marks the celebration of the many struggles, lives lost, and gains made by unions for the working class, such as the fight for the eight-hour work day. There is still so much to fight for—and the struggle continues locally, nationally, and across the world, demanding all of us to stand up for one another, with courage.

In TUSD, the substitute teachers have fought to be members of the teacher’s union @tucsoneducation —I am proud to be the first board member to voluntarily recognize substitutes as members of TEA and was honored to approve them joining the union after years of struggle. Unfortunately, I was notified by subs at the last board meeting that our Human Resource department was still not giving them a chance to bargain. I called out HR during the meeting and told them to give subs equal access to negotiate.

I look forward to working with unions represented in the city to fight for their rights to organize for better conditions and pay!

In Arizona, there are too many workers who have no representation and have to endure poor working conditions in order to keep their jobs. Many of those workers are immigrants. No one should have to choose between unsafe conditions and feeding their family.

Please consider celebrating this holiday by exercising your first amendment right to assemble! There is a protest and solidarity celebration happening today at Southside Presbyterian Church to advocate for immigrants and the rights of workers. For more information on the event follow @derechoshumanosaz

“The day after I won my first election, I was told to ‘fall in line.’ I didn’t then, and I won’t now.”

My latest op-ed just dropped, and it’s making waves.
I'm calling out political bullying, backroom power plays, and the silencing of Black leaders in Arizona’s Democratic Party. I'm also calling on party members to speak up. We should not feel beholden to Senators that threaten to pull their support if we don't comply. We are the people who support their campaigns, not the other way around!

Sadie is listening and she wants to know: What’s important to YOU? Help co-create her campaign and shape the future of Ward 3 by sharing your priorities, and your hopes and dreams for the future of Tucson! 🌵✊

The current Ward 3 leadership pushed for the rejected Prop 414 and more policing, against our community’s clear wishes. That ends now. Sadie voted "No" on Prop 414, along with the majority of Tucsonans. She isn’t here to uphold the status quo - she’s here to fight the power alongside all of us!

📣 WE DID THAT, WARD 3

846 petition signatures in just 30 days!!!

✅ We maxed out our qualifying goal

This is what a real grassroots campaign looks like—powered by real people, not big money. And they didn’t see us coming.

Sadie Shaw is running to make history as the **first Black woman** elected to the Tucson City Council—but more than that—she’s here to make sure Ward 3 finally has a voice.

Meanwhile, our opponent raised over $26K and is backed by establishment figures who spent over a MILLION pushing a sales tax that nearly 70% of Tucson rejected. That’s not grassroots—that’s astroturf. 👀

✨ Please visit the links in our bio to ensure that we keep this momentum and secure a win on August 5th by…

1. Chipping in $10+ to unlock public matching funds

2. Participating in our 5-min Ward 3 Survey

3. Volunteering your time or skills

This isn’t politics as usual. This is co-creating the future.

If you can't make it in person, join us for our virtual phone bank this Sunday.

We passed out 500 flyers at the @berniesanders and @aoc rally today, one of which was taken by AOC! Both their speeches included the need to elect young, progressive candidates who have the courage to stand up and fight for what’s right. Being a nice guy—which is how my opponent is often described—is just not going to cut it anymore.

If you’re sick and tired of the status quo, please volunteer over the next two weeks to canvass neighborhoods and phone bank. If we don’t get enough signatures by April 7th we will have to wait four more years for new leadership. The time is now. Sign up to volunteer at the link in my bio. ❤️

At the March 18th meeting, the Mayor and Council (excluding Vice Mayor Santa Cruz) voted to criminalize standing in the median for purposes other than crossing the street. They claim it was for safety reasons and that asking for help in the medians has led to injury and death.

Being near a road is inherently dangerous in Tucson—whether you’re driving, crossing the street, riding your bike or asking for help in the medians. Our streets are dark, our drivers are impaired and generally people do not abide by traffic laws.

What will happen to those who depend on the kindness of strangers? What will happen to Popeye, the gentleman who stands in the median near the freeway, waving at drivers and signing with his hands for them to smile? These people, for whatever reason, are down and out and have no means to support themselves. They are a part of our community whether you choose to help them or pretend they don’t exist.

Shame on the Mayor and Council who voted yes on this item!

New article in the Tucson Sentinel about the City Council races. Dahl currently has raised the most money out of any candidate, having collected almost $23,000 this year alone.

This is truly a grassroots, people-powered campaign. You won’t see me posing with any politician for clout—I never have and I never will. I urge you to throw your support behind the non-establishment candidates in each city council race. Change only happens when we change the status quo! Find out how to donate or get involved on my campaign website. Online donations coming soon!

I attended the LD20 House on Fire Town Hall today to connect with fellow Democrats on the state of our country and world. After speaking about public education, the need to listen to young people, and why I’m running for City Council, a woman nearby said to me, “You’re wrong. You shouldn’t run.”

I know not everyone will support my candidacy, and that’s fine. But this moment highlights a larger issue within the Democratic Party. We lost the most critical election in the last 100 years because we refused to engage on issues that matter most to young people and others who demand action on human rights violations, both foreign and domestic. The same can be said about local politics and the defeat of Prop 414. Instead of blaming the other side, we need to take a serious look at how we have contributed to the current climate.

It’s time for the elders to step aside and let young people lead—not just in elected positions but at every level. Too often, young voices are dismissed, and forward-thinking candidates are told their ideas are too radical. This is why young people are disengaging, not voting or leaving the party altogether. When we do get involved, we’re treated like a sideshow act before business as usual.

I’m not infallible, but I know this: change is necessary. And I have the courage to be that change.

Victory! The turnout for this special election proves that the people aren’t happy with their current leadership. Let’s keep this momentum going as we move towards the Primary Election on August 5th.

Just turned in my ballot! I’m voting NO on Prop 414 because they’re using the community element to push us even closer to a surveillance state. I spoke to a Ward 3 resident yesterday who had a @noprop414 sign in their yard. They shared with me the familiar phrase “fool me once, shame on you, feel me twice, shame on me.” We won’t be fooled any longer!

Thank you to @noprop414 for their tremendous organizing efforts.

Had a great time canvassing the Flowing Wells Neighborhood this weekend. Neighbors in Flowing Wells have the same problems that we do in Sugar Hill. The city has neglected our parks, roads, and commercial zones for too long! I’m running for City Council in Ward 3 to fight for transparency and put resources where they are needed most. You’re invited to join us next weekend or any day to knock on doors. Please also share the online petition with your friends and family. Your help will ensure that we qualify for the ballot—find the links in my bio. Thank you for all of your support!

When in doubt, run for office!

It’s me again, Sadie Shaw—mother, artist, arts administrator, and community organizer in Sugar Hill. As a TUSD Board Member, I’ve fought for the arts, accountability and transparency in the district. Now, I’m stepping up to run for Ward 3 City Council because our community is in a state of crisis and we can’t wait another four years!

For too long Tucson has been promised improvements—better roads, parks, and public safety—only to be left in the dust. In Ward 3, our roads are full of potholes, our parks are the last on the list to get much needed improvements and crime and homelessness is at an all time high. It’s time that Ward 3 has a Council Member who is not afraid to go against the grain to get the job done.

We need bold, community-centered leadership that moves to distribute resources where they are needed most. I kept my word that I would do that in TUSD and I look forward to doing the same for the City of Tucson. Vote for me if you want to change the status quo!

I have one month to collect 391 signatures to get on the ballot! If you live in Ward 3, you can sign the petition online or we can meet you in-person. We also invite you to volunteer or join our campaign team. Sign my petition and find out more at the links in my bio. Thank you for your support!

Let’s take back our city.
