The group came under fire in July for promoting a &#8220;Fuck the 4th&#8221; event held by the Tucson Women\u2019s March chapter to &#8220;mourn&#8221; the Supreme Court\u2019s abortion ruling.

Arizona state senate president Karen Fann said the post showed the Pima County Democrats &#8220;don\u2019t care about our country or those who fought and died for our freedoms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Engel\u2019s links to left-wing groups could undercut her run for the open seat in Arizona\u2019s sixth district, which Democrats consider a &#8220;must-win&#8221; in order to maintain control of the House. Engel\u2019s campaign conducted an internal poll which had her leading Republican Juan Ciscomani 49-47, though election analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookpolitical.com\/ratings\/house-race-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have given<\/a> Republicans a slight advantage in the district.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time Engel has worked with groups behind controversial causes. She solicited donations in 2020 for the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a left-wing organization that has bailed murderers out of jail, the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/arizona-dem-praised-radical-immigration-group-that-harassed-sinema\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.

She met with activists for a voter registration event from Living United for Change in Arizona, a pro-immigration group that came under fire for harassing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in a bathroom last year.<\/p>\n<p>Engel\u2019s campaign and the campaign for Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) <a href=\"https:\/\/pimadems.org\/event\/tenth-annual-udall-dinner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sponsored<\/a> a gala for the Pima County Democratic Party earlier this month. Engel contributed $3,000 to the event, while Kelly gave $500.
