Thousands of students at an Arizona university have reportedly received text messages from Kamala Harris’ campaign, encouraging them to vote for her and Tim Walz, signaling possible collusion between the campaign and the public university.
It’s unclear how the Harris campaign obtained the phone numbers of students, alumni, and parents, but if the information wasn’t obtained through the proper channels, it could be in violation of Arizona law.
Vice Chairman of Arizona State Representative and Arizona House Election Committee Alex Kolodin told The Gateway Pundit, “ARS 16-192 prohibits the use of state resources to influence the results of the election, and if this list is available only to the Harris campaign by the university,”. that could be a violation of this law.”
It is unclear whether there are other campaigns that solicit information from current or former students and parents of Arizona university students.
Via ASU College Republicans:
150,000 students from ALL Arizona universities including ASU and UofA have received texts from the Kamala Harris campaign telling students to vote for her.
Kamala Harris has access to all the phone numbers of Arizona students, what ELSE do they have?
DEVELOPMENT: NAU is the 3rd college in Arizona whose data is in the hands of the Kamala Harris campaign!!
It’s scary that every student’s data in Arizona is now in the hands of Kamala Harris!
Some Alums and their parents have received this too!!

A spokesperson for Arizona State University provided the following statement to The Gateway Pundit:
Enrolled student contact information (including cell phone numbers) is a matter of public record. This is not ASU policy. Under FERPA, this is considered “directory information,” along with other basic information such as the student’s major, date of attendance, and enrollment status. Most entities looking to advertise to ASU students request publicly available contact information — everything from apartment complexes, credit cards, to political candidates.
Any student who does not want their directory information released may submit a form requesting that the information be withheld.
Still, Arizona State University is a prominent liberal arts school. Gateway Pundit has reported on the university’s radical leftist politics.
Last year, a professor who founded Arizona’s Drag Story Hour and taught a seminar on “LGBTQ+ Youth in Pop Culture and Politics” attacked two Turning Point USA reporters. Also, in 2023, awake ASU faculty erupted in outrage over an event at the school with conservative panelists Charlie Kirk, Robert Kiyosaki, and Dennis Prager. This led to disruption and the firing of two employees who hosted the event.
During the 2022 midterm elections, Arizona PBS, which is located and partnered with Arizona State University’s Cronkite School of Journalism, cheated Arizona voters by offering free air time to Katie Hobbs in exchange for a debate after she declined to debate Kari Lake. It also comes after the Arizona Clean Elections Commission, which partners with PBS to host the candidate debates, rejected a proposal by Democrat Katie Hobbs to change the gubernatorial debate to a forum with separate interviews for the candidates. Earlier in 2022, ASU canceled a conservative group event featuring Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs and former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, allegedly because the event featured conservatives, which was one of three reasons reported by the university.
In 2021, The Gateway Pundit reported on a radical leftist propaganda operation of a professor, who was giving homework in a business management class, who listed “the election of Donald Trump” as a potential event that poses a “threat to the world trading system.” Later that same year, leftist students protested Kyle Rittenhouse’s arrival at the university, asking the school to “protect students from ruthless, bloodthirsty killers.” The protesters’ demands included Rittenhouse’s expulsion from the university, an ASU statement accusing Rittenhouse of being a “racist killer,” and the defunding of the ASU police force to fund a so-called “multicultural center” that discriminates against whites. The so-called “multicultural center” is where two “cultural” women went viral for harassing two white students – for being white on campus in 2022.
It is not surprising that the university colluded with the Harris campaign.
However, as The Gateway Pundit reported, only the RNC election integrity attorney has resigned, leaving no one to file election-related challenges or the question of this happening at the state’s public university.
NEW: Republican’s Only Election Integrity Lawyer Quits 3 Days Before Ballots Are Mailed, Refusing to File Lawsuit Over Serious Election Integrity Issues (VIDEO)
Arizona political consultant Caroline Wren joined Bannon’s War Room on Monday and explained that “there is no lawyer” to question whether the Harris campaign obtained the information through legal means.
WATCH:
Wren: Three days before the ballots go down in Arizona, the Arizona Republican Party and the Trump campaign have no lawyers to fight for the integrity of elections in this critical state. So, the retreating attorney has refused to file a lawsuit for months, but just as specifically, he refused to file a lawsuit regarding the 218,000 unconfirmed US citizens that the Democratic Secretary of State refused to remove from the voter register. He refused to take any action on the years-old UOCAVA verification issue. And this lawyer too, I mean, he shouldn’t have been there. I know him; he is a decent man, but he never had the appetite to fight through any of these issues. And he was general counsel for Mitt Romney’s campaign. He was general counsel for Carly Fiorina’s 2016 campaign. So, he shouldn’t have been there. We have kind of come to blows with him for a long time about this. Some people, I guess, said, ‘Well, it’s not Caroline’s win that she resigned?’ Okay, sure, but like, who did you replace him with? You should be on top of this now. We need these people now, and we need them in court now. We had another problem last weekend.
150,000 students in Arizona at all public universities received text messages from the Kamala Harris campaign encouraging them to vote. How come all state universities give out cell phone data – not just students, anyone listed as an emergency contact, so parents get these text messages too. Someone explain to me how the state university data went to the Kamala Harris campaign. We need to be in court to try and figure this out. So far, there is no lawyer to file a lawsuit in this regard.
