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.

Ciscomani voted for the "Big, Beautiful Bill" which rewards the ultra-wealthy while cruelly punishing the poor. This should cost him his seat next year, DON'T YOU THINK? TAKE ACTION !

Our CD6 Rep. Ciscomani has already received over $400,000 from PACs. This House race of ours is on its way to become perhaps the most expense in the country. Support our Democrats!
