EXCLUSIVE: A conservative grassroots group said Monday they registered 50,000 new voters in two key swing states, as the two major-party presidential nominees prepare to meet for a highly-anticipated debate.
Heritage Action for America, which boasts 2 million activists in states across the country, announced that its six-figure, data-driven endeavor to register voters in Georgia and Arizona has been a success.
To build on that, the group also announced it is considering resourcing another project in the two states to drive voter turnout among those they have just registered.
The drive was geared toward conservative voters, not Republicans, Democrats or others on a party-line basis. As a 501c(4) organization, Heritage Action is permitted to back specific legislation but cannot work in support of partisan candidates.
Founded in 2010, Heritage Action seeks to work toward conservative policy victories at the state level and trains volunteers and other activists to be “sentinels” in their home states to “fight for America’s future.”

Of the project in the two key states, Heritage Action Vice President Ryan Walker said the last several election cycles have shown that “every vote matters.”
“Registering as many like-minded voters as possible can and will make the difference between conservatives winning and losing in 2024,” Walker said.
“Heritage Action is proud of our work to register more than 50,000 conservative voters in Georgia and Arizona —and motivated to further our investments in these must-win states.”
Walker added that voter engagement is key to returning a conservative majority to Congress and enacting conservative policies from the executive branch.
CONSERVATIVE GROUP LAUNCHES MASSIVE VOTER REGISTRATION EFFORT IN KEY STATES

“The future of our country is on the line and Heritage is running through the tape to save her,” Walker said.
After identifying potential new registrants, the project’s organizers and activists followed up with door-to-door visits, text messages and telephone conversations.
President Biden defeated former President Donald Trump in the two states by about 12,000 votes each, a figure dwarfed by the 50,000 number announced by Heritage Action.
“Based on data from the 2020 election, the addition of 50,000 conservative voters in Georgia and Arizona could change the outcome of the presidential election,” the organization said in a statement.

In previous comments, Heritage Action President Kevin Roberts noted Biden won the White House in 2020 by a very small margin and, therefore, conservative change can be realized with targeted grassroots organizing.
“After he opened our borders, destroyed our economy through overspending and inflation, and invited conflict around the globe with failed foreign policy, voters are eager to fire him for good,” Roberts said.
“Heritage Action’s strategic voter registration campaign is finding and equipping the voters needed to ensure conservative majorities in must-win states across the country.”

Wildfires bring poor air quality to Southern California: Here's tips on how to stay safe
![Wildfires bring poor air quality to Southern California: Here's tips on how to stay safe Wildfires bring poor air quality to Southern California: Here's tips on how to stay safe](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/09/GettyImages-2170620019.jpg?w=900)
The aftermath of a heat wave and ongoing wildfires has left many Southern California residents dealing with poor air quality.
Monitors used by the South Coast Air Quality Management District have detected very unhealthy air quality in communities across San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties, especially in cities like Big Bear, Fontana, Mira Loma, Ontario, Riverside, Anaheim, Crestline, Lake Elsinore, Glendora and Banning.
Whether you are directly impacted by the ongoing wildfires or live in nearby communities, here’s how you can stay safe amid poor air quality conditions.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Stay inside when air quality is “unhealthy.”
- Avoid exerting yourself outside, like exercising, as this will make you breathe harder and draw more pollutants into your lungs.
- Keep your windows closed and use an air filter. The Common Humanity Collective has instructions on how households can make affordable ones here.
- If you have an air conditioning system, change your filter regularly, and keep a high-efficiency filter on hand. Filters labeled “MERV13” or higher are most effective for removing smoke particles.
- Keep a few disposable respirators, such as N-95 or P-100, on hand in case you need to be outside in smoky conditions.
- Avoid using fireplaces, candles, or incense indoors as that can further impact air quality.
- Consider visiting a California Clean Air Center if you don’t have an AC unit or can’t filter the air in your home properly.
- Air quality alerts, current air quality conditions, and forecasts can be received by downloading the South Coast AQMD mobile app or visiting their website.

A Colorado man on a multi-day trip was found dead over the weekend in the Grand Canyon National Park, officials said Monday.
The Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center received a call around 5:30 a.m. from someone reporting a death at Poncho’s Kitchen, near the Colorado River, the National Parks Service said.
Park rangers responded to the scene where Patrick Horton, 59, a resident of Salida, Colorado, who was on the tenth day of a non-commercial river trip along the Colorado River, was found by members of his party, the NPS said.

The National Park Service is conducting an investigation in coordination with the Coconino County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the parks service. No manner or cause of death was provided.
Horton is believed to be the seventh person to die in the park in less than a month and the 14th this year. Park officials reported 11 fatalities in 2023 and said there are usually about 10 to 15 deaths per year.

The previous deaths include an 80-year-old man, who authorities say died in August on a commercial river trip after falling from a boat into the river near Fossil Rapid, and a 33-year-old woman who was also found that day after a flash flood swept her away while hiking Aug. 22.
A 20-year-old New Mexico woman was found Aug. 8 below Twin Overlooks; a 43-year-old Missouri man died Aug. 1 while attempting a prohibited BASE jump from Yavapai Point; and a 20-year-old North Carolina man fell to his death July 31 at the South Rim.
