The best way to predict future performance is: past performance. When the citizens of LD-1 asked me to be their State Senator in 1998, I fought for them using the conservative Constitutional principles they deserve. We balanced the state budget eight years in a row - even during the post-9/11 recession. We passed the largest tax cut in the history of the state, while putting more new money into education and public safety than ever before. We spent less than the tax revenues we received and rebuilt the state's savings account - the Rainy Day Fund - to over 1 Billion dollars. We expanded parental choice for their children's schools, and protected the sanctity of life and our 2nd Amendment rights. Today, Arizona faces significant challenges again. Our State retirement systems are under-funded by more than 20 Billion dollars! The federal government is failing to secure our border with Mexico. Too many students are failing academically, and too many people question the integrity of our elections. I promise to fight for you again to solve these and other problems as your Senator. I humbly ask for your vote as we work together to make Arizona great again!

I am running for AZ Senate LD 1 with the Clean Slate for Democracy to take corruption out of politics. I want to strengthen traditional public schools and voter rights, the bedrock institutions of our democratic republic. The three-decade defunding of Arizona's public schools, which has placed us last in the US, must be reversed to achieve the following: A comprehensive solution for P-20 education, including increasing access and affordability of PreK and higher education. • More resources going to schools to serve the students most in need (poverty/opportunity weight). Funding that solves our next fiscal challenges when federal COVID relief funds dry up in 2024 or the Prop 123 triggers activate. A long-term fix for the Aggregate Expenditure Limit. A significant investment in special education. Funding for full day kindergarten • Raising teacher pay to a competitive level. Efforts to place election outcomes in the hands of partisan groups must be stopped. Let's empower voters so voting is easy and secure. We need to retain early voting. To create an economy that works for all of us, Arizona needs a fair tax structure to prevent structural deficits and balance the tax burden equitably.

I am running out of desire to have Arizona reach its full potential. As a life-long conservative Republican my priorities are protecting and defending the Constitution, promoting a strong border and election integrity, reducing the tax burden and government overregulation, maintaining fiscal responsibility and economic opportunity, upholding the right to bear arms, defending life, supporting our troops and families, and the protection of state rights. I am highly engaged with our community and volunteer for several political and civic organizations including the Yavapai County Republican Party, the State and National Federation of Republican Women, the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association, the Well-Armed Woman, and the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue. Having lived in this District since 1971, I have a deep respect for our rich history and am dedicated to protecting and strengthening Arizona. Through working as a nurse in our community, while teaching nursing at Yavapai College, I am accustomed to making a difference in the lives of others. I come from a long line of public servants in my family and am called to serve the community in which I was raised. I appreciate your support to help keep Arizona great!

In 2020, I ran for office as an America First Constitutional Conservative. You elected me, I went to work, and I KEPT MY WORD! I have championed strong election integrity measures, secure borders (including a real wall!), low taxes, safe neighborhoods, improved highways and transportation (repairing SR-69 and expanding I-17), and personal liberty. I've introduced pro-gun bills, voted pro-Constitution, pro-life, pro-school choice, and pro-Arizona. And I helped pass the largest tax cut in Arizona history. So why is a solid, conservative Republican facing a primary challenge? Because I've voted NO on bad bills when the Arizona establishment wanted me to vote yes. I've fought against government overreach and tried to restore your personal health care and religious freedoms when the "powers that be" wanted to continue mandating how we lived our lives and what medicines we had to take. I've been called one of Arizona's most consistent and thoughtful conservatives because I love my country, my state, and everyone who calls it home. If you want a proven America First patriot, then I ask for one of your two votes on November 8th. On behalf of my wonderful wife and children, THANK YOU!

I am Cathy Ransom, an Arizona mom who knows our economy has not been working as hard for moms as moms work for our economy. As the business manager of a small business in the Verde Valley, I have witnessed how decades of one-party domination in the state legislature have failed rural Arizona. Water, Education, and Healthcare have all been neglected. That needs to change. Our economy is not working for essential workers, teachers, frontline workers and small business owners. Teachers and Nurses are leaving the state because they can't afford to live here. I want the legislature to level the playing field and ensure we adequately invest in an equitable future for all of us. The Arizona legislature can help prepare the next generation for 21st century jobs by investing in our human infrastructure. Companies considering relocating to Arizona want an educated workforce and a solid healthcare system. It's time for a new vision for Arizona's future at the state capitol. As part of the Clean Slate for Democracy I will hold education, the environment and an economy that works for all of us as top priorities. Learn more at CleanSlateAZLD1.com

I am a husband, father, grandfather, and a solar energy entrepreneur. As the board chairman of Cybertran International I am focused on developing a zero carbon footprint mass transit system powered by the sun. Environmental crises, made worse by climate change, are part of a larger pattern that threatens our way of life. Arizona can play an important role in providing a solution to the challenges of climate change. To do this we need better legislative priorities and lawmakers who nurture innovation and support Arizona's transition to clean energy. Developing sustainable clean energy technologies here in Arizona helps us attract new businesses. We can and should be leading the world in solar energy innovation. To attract innovators for high growth businesses, Arizona needs a modern, high-caliber public education system anchoring intelligent, motivated, creative individuals and their families. To seize this opportunity we need to properly fund public education. This is why funding education and addressing climate change will be my top legislative priorities and why I am running as a clean election candidate as part of the Clean Slate for Democracy to build a better future for all Arizonans.

I am a parent, educator, and former school board president. As a middle school and high school teacher, I have seen firsthand how policies at the state level have created a two-tier education system that hurts entire communities. I first ran for my local school board ten years ago because I realized that if I wanted to truly make a difference in my students' lives, I needed to get involved in policy and governance. I believe that every child deserves access to an excellent public education, and that their families should have access to fair wages, clean air, and affordable housing. For too long, elected leadership in Arizona has ignored the needs of working class families, and has increasingly promoted extremist policies designed to game the system for a select few. Arizona deserves elected leaders who will fight for the needs of everyday people and promote the common good.

What an amazing state we live in! Breathtaking beauty, affordability and economic growth are all reasons why I choose to live in Arizona with my wife and three boys. I'm a small business owner and a veteran dedicated to preserving Arizona's way of life and freedoms through this current crisis. I love this state, I know this district well, and I'm fighting for us! I grew up here, I attended public schools in PVUSD from Kindergarten to Senior year, and I'm an ASU graduate! Arizona deserves high-quality, high-performing schools and assurance that their child's school is best for them and preparing them for the future. We need to put our parents and students first. Like Arizona's teachers and frontline workers, I value service and self-sacrifice. I served eight years as a Captain in the U.S. Army, leading a team of Soldiers in Afghanistan in 2008. When I returned, I worked in retail, healthcare, nonprofit and government sectors. My experiences culminated in building my own small business-a local junk hauling and recycling company. I've lived a life blessed with service and hard work. I'm running to represent you again because I want to see every Arizonan succeed.

I got involved in politics after witnessing how much President Donald J Trump included God in his political activities before he got elected, at Trump rallies, in the MAGA agenda, at the White House and while Trump implemented his policies. I voted for Trump twice, once in 2016 and 2020. I saw how the media attacked Trump in 2015, and God touched my heart leading me into politics. I began to study hundreds of US Supreme court cases, learned that our country has been taken from the People who are the citizens and I got involved by attending the 2018 annual meetings of the Arizona Republican Party and Maricopa County Republicans. When elected, I will fight to ban dominion voting systems, ban duplicate ballots, require in-person verification for failed ballot signatures, allow Arizona citizens to take video/photos of any election worker, require body cams on all election workers, fight for Voter ID laws and correct 2020. I will protect our 1st amendment, our 2nd amendment, secure our southern border by finishing the wall, fight for Parental rights, protect unborn babies by being 100% pro-life and fight for American Jobs by putting American workers first!

As a teacher, co-founder of Theater Works, church board member, community center director, and leader of a non-partisan group, I've learned powerful lessons about how listening and working together gives everyone a chance to succeed. I was deeply honored that you elected me as your representative to the State House in 2020, where I've listened and worked together to address the issues that are important to you and your family. I've helped direct federal dollars to preschool programs for at-risk children and families. I sponsored a bi-partisan adult education bill to allow Arizonans to lift themselves out of poverty and provide employers with an educated workforce. I voted to invest over $1 billion in our neighborhood schools that the majority of families choose. I share your priorities including investing in our public schools, creating good-paying jobs, addressing our housing, water and healthcare crises, and protecting our freedom to vote.

Howdy Arizona! I've had the honor to serve in the Arizona House of Representatives for the past two years. I spent that time fighting to keep the cost of living down and preserving Arizona's legacy of prosperity and innovation. In 2021, I had more bills signed into law than any other first-year freshman in modern state history. I'm very proud to be an effective Legislator for our district - you can count on me to get the job done. I've had the privilege to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Transportation Committee working to improve transportation infrastructure. I was also a member of the Commerce Committee and Health Committee. I've dedicated my career to serving others through effective public policy solutions, working a combined 12 years at two different state legislatures, including here in Arizona, where I was a policy staffer for the Republican Caucus. I also worked at Americans for Prosperity, a conservative organization focused on lowering taxes, cutting regulations, and shrinking government overreach.

He has worked for multiple fortune 100 companies, and has been the primary architect on multiple trading and securities systems. Most importantly, he is an expert in finance. Tom will bring a level of expertise that is severely lacking in the senate. They currently have no one who fully understands finance or information technology. They waste millions of taxpayer money due to a lack of knowledge. They waste money on bills that are political grandstanding. Taxes should be spent on core issues - water, schools, and infrastructure. The senate leadership ignores in the will of the people, proven by proposition 208 which was passed by voters. They sued rather than see the rich pay their fair share. Currently, they are debating what to do with over 5 billion in surplus and how to use it for more tax cuts for the rich while, for example, the state's necessary water supply diminishes.

As a lawyer, I've spent years working to advance conservative causes in the courtroom.

I've never backed down from fighting for what is right despite threats to my career, my staff, and my family's safety. I never will. As your representative, I will take conservatives on the offense by writing the sorts of laws that I would be proud to defend and that you would be proud to have defended. Laws that increase the security of our elections by restoring precinct voting and preserve our fundamental Second Amendment rights. Laws that make use of Arizona's authority under the Tenth Amendment to secure our border, defend our children in the womb, and give parents choices about the way that our children are educated in the classroom. Our district deserves a representative with the knowledge and training to make our entire conservative delegation more effective. Who can help other members give conservative laws teeth and make them harder to attack in court? I therefore humbly ask for your support and your vote. www.alexforaz.com.

While my experiences as a mother, teacher, and foster mother helped me decide to run for the State Senate, what truly motivates me is the need for more balance at the Capitol. After being elected to my first term in the State Senate in 2020, I knew my job was to represent all of my constituents, regardless of their views or their background. I went straight to work on the issues that matter: curbing the impact of our state's drug crisis, bringing together parents and schools to make sure that our kids have access to a quality public education, and securing the right to vote. Our state faces many challenges, and one-party rule has stifled Arizona for decades, with our most vulnerable populations being placed at the most risk. Our district needs to elect a Senator who will listen to all her constituents and make sure that all good ideas get heard. That way, we can work together to solve the many challenges we face.

I get the job done. That defines my career as an Assistant Attorney General, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and former Representative. Like you, I never want to receive another call that a high school student unknowingly took one fentanyl laced Xanax before bed and never woke up. So, I successfully pushed tougher sentencing laws for fentanyl dealers, stricter DUI laws, and funding for border sheriffs and police. As your Representative, I heard of a young college student who was brutally raped for an hour in her own home only to be victimized again by a bureaucratic system that forced her to wait 8 long months until her rape kit was tested and her attacker brought to justice. So, I passed legislation requiring that all rape kits be tested within 15 days, leading to the capture and conviction of countless violent offenders and justice for victims. I knew, as a public-school mom, we had to improve education, so I voted to invest in our teachers and schools, expand options, and pass fiscal policies that put families first. If you want a problem solver, I would be honored to receive your vote again. SymsForAZ.com.

"Fight like a MOTHER!" - That's what I'll do in the State House as a political outsider. Our district is considered to be a "safe Democrat district," which means the most radical Democrat extremists win the primary, then they coast to victory in November without paying the majority of the district any attention. But their radical ideas like defunding the police, grooming our kids in schools, closing successful charter schools which forces children back into failing public schools, and further opening our borders at the cost of increased human/drug smuggling and fentanyl trafficking, will ruin lives and, in many cases, get Arizonans killed. Vote NO on RADICALLY BAD ideas! I'll work to fund teachers and schools and keep them focused on skills our children need to succeed. I'll support police and fire. I'll protect girls' sports. I'll fight to keep taxes lower and government spending lower, so we can bring inflation down and help lower the high prices of gas, food, health care, houses, and more. We need a government that does its job, then gets out of our way to let us live our lives. Let's surprise the establishment on Election Day together. Vote for Common Sense- Vote Treadwell!

Fighting for what's right makes me the target of lies and attacks, but I won't be bullied. I supported President Trump's fight against the DC swamp and I'll keep fighting the AZ swamp. Our State Capitol needs fewer politicians and more of us regular folks who do the jobs that make Arizona work. On behalf of my awesome wife Diana and our amazing kids, thanks for your support and trust!

I was born Roxana Reyes, in Tampa, Florida to a Cuban father and Puerto Rican mother. I was a police field training officer for the Tampa Police Department. I will always have the backs of the men and women in blue! I have lived in Tempe for 35 years and call Arizona my home. I am a life long Republican, and a pro life, 2nd Amendment conservative who believes in the Constitution and all it stands for. NO to SEL and CRT in any of our schools. NO to mask and "vaccine" mandates of any kind, now and ever again. NO to government overreach in our businesses, schools, homes and places of worship. NO to rules and regulations that are crippling our small businesses. YES to border security; finish our wall and enforce our laws. YES to giving parents voices in their children's schools; the money follows the child. YES to protecting and caring for our veterans and rebuilding our military.

Juan Mendez
State Senator - District 8
Democratic
https://juanmendezforarizona.com
For ten years as your public servant elected to the Arizona Legislature, I have fought to restore integrity and accountability in government. Having grown up in poverty with a single mother, I know that individual success coincides with a shared investment in education, infrastructure, health, economic stability, housing, and safety. Now as a new father, I see firsthand how important it is that we end the political and economic inequalities that punish many Arizonans by denying opportunities to better the future of their children. I received my associate's from Phoenix College, my bachelor's from ASU, and am pursuing a Master's in Public Administration. Previously, I managed AZ Community Voice Mail, a nonprofit where I connected thousands living in poverty, transition, and homelessness to jobs, housing, information, and hope. I also served on the Tempe Community Council. I recently was a substitute teacher for Tempe and Mesa high schools and co-instructor at Phoenix College. The number one barrier to progress for all at the Capitol is the influence of big money in elections. Money shouldn't determine how legislators vote. I am running for re-election as a part of your publicly-funded Clean Elections Team with support from voters like you.
Caden Darrow
State Representative - District 8
Republican
http://darrow4az.com
Our district has schools that need help, rising crime rates, and families struggling with rising inflation and surging gas prices. So why are our State Representatives ignoring these problems? Hernandez and Salman vote NO on increased school funding. They vote NO on increased teacher pay. They vote NO on giving law enforcement the tools they need to do their jobs in a way that keeps everyone safer. They support higher taxes and higher spending that increase inflation and drive gas prices higher. And this last year Salman used her "fear of Covid" to justify taking the entire legislative year off. That's right - she collected her pay, collected her per diem, but skipped going to work, voting on bills, or doing her job. Now she wants re-election? Bill Loughrige and I are running to give a voice to those who want Representatives to vote for good bills, no matter if they're "Republican" or "Democratic". We're running to support more money into our classrooms, more help for our teachers, safer neighborhoods, and an end to the inflation madness that is pushing the price of grocery store staples out of reach of many Arizonans. We hope to earn your votes!

Melody Hernandez was raised in the southeast valley of Arizona to a first generation Mexican-American family. From a young age, she's held a deep history of service in her community. She's worked closely with students with special needs, children experiencing homelessness and domestic violence, and has provided medical aid to immigrants. Politically, she has been active in grassroots organizing, operated as a campaign manager, and served as the first Latina Democratic Chair for Legislative District 26. Hernandez was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2020. Within one year, she became the Ranking Member of Judiciary, a role in which she's worked across the aisle to ensure a fairer criminal justice system. Hernandez has also been featured in national publications for her dedication to protecting and expanding access to healthcare during her term. The ideas that compelled Hernandez to first run have only grown more important. As a paramedic that found herself working on the frontlines of the pandemic in an overburdened healthcare system, a union member protecting working families, and now as a State Representative, she knows intimately what's at stake for many Arizonans. She's now seeking a second term to continue the work she began in 2020.

It is an honor to serve as your State Representative. This year, I had the joy of welcoming my first child and becoming a mom. I was born in Arizona to a first generation American family from Mexico, Germany and Palestine. This inspired a lifetime of defending our most vulnerable. Prior to being elected, I worked on higher education accessibility, healthcare affordability, gender and LGBTQ equity, protecting our freedom to vote, blocking corporate greed as a union leader, growing membership for a nonprofit empowering girls, and building support for early childhood development. Last year, I passed a law guaranteeing feminine hygiene products to incarcerated women and ending the shackling of pregnant people. I've received Tempe's MLK Diversity Award, Phoenix New Times' Best Politician and Arizona Republic's Top 10 Newsmakers to Watch. I graduated with honors from ASU with degrees in Economics and Political Science. I served as the House Democratic Whip, am the Ranking Member on Elections/Government and serve on the Education Committee.

As a retired Mesa Police Sergeant who served and protected for 27 years, you can count on me to protect our freedoms. Over the past few years we have seen an extremely concerning amount of government interference in our daily lives and all that defines us as "Americans". This is what motivated me to step up and run for office, to be a voice for individuals who know what it's like to get up each day, go to work, and do what they can to provide for their family and better their community. My wife and I have been married for 22 years and we have raised two daughters that we want to be able to live in a safe and prosperous Arizona, but we are worried about rising crime, skyrocketing inflation, food/gas prices, housing prices that make it almost impossible for first-time homebuyers, and long-term growth issues that today's politicians aren't planning for. Visit SupportScantlebury.com to learn more about me or to contact me directly with any questions. I will protect and serve in the State Senate as a principled representative who stands for our constitutional rights, safe communities, successful schools, lower taxes and a strong economy.

I am a 5th generation Arizonan and native of Mesa whose lifelong love for advocacy and leadership has been rooted in this district for a century. I am the granddaughter of farmworkers and small business owners who advocated for our community. My experience working in the public, private and non-profit sectors includes working with Verizon's Innovative Learning Program to bring advanced technology and curriculum to Title 1 schools nationwide, volunteering with the Mesa United Food Bank, and providing COVID-19 support to Indigenous communities in the Navajo Nation. I currently serve as a Student Government Advisor at Mesa Community College. Arizona is in desperate need of Representatives who will serve the best interests of the community - leaders who will show up and engage in constructive conversations and provide transparency to their constituents. Investments in education, healthcare, and water conservation will be amongst my top priorities, as well as combating our climate crisis and advocating to stop the displacement of our vibrant community due to rapidly rising housing costs. Additionally, with the fall of Roe v. Wade, I will fight to make sure that the right of everyone in Arizona to make their own healthcare decisions is protected.

My family moved to Arizona when I was ten years old. I went to UofA on a scholarship and finished my bachelor's degree at ASU. I worked at my father's furniture manufacturing shop while taking business courses and went on to receive my MBA. When my family's business fell on tough times, I came home to take over leading it and provide new direction. I am running for State Representative because I love Arizona, but the people of District 9 are tired of the current political climate. We've had enough partisan warfare and being told to hate people we've never met simply because of a letter next to their name. It is my goal to work across the aisle in a bipartisan manner to achieve common sense solutions. I will focus on structural reforms to bring down the current temperature of politics and make government more reflective of the will of the people. We might not agree on everything but we should be able to trust that our representatives are good people making decisions for the right reasons. As a community, we are ready to fully fund public education, restore a woman's right to choose, and build a better government.

My name is Mary Ann Mendoza. My son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza was tragically killed on May 12, 2014, by an illegal criminal who was driving while intoxicated. One of the key issues facing Americans right now is an assault on our Constitutional rights, which are being systematically erased. I am 100% for parental rights in our education system, I am pro-life, I Back the Blue, I am for securing our borders; our veterans deserve taxpayer support, not illegals. We need to protect small businesses and not allow mandates and shutdowns. I am for election integrity and making sure our vote counts and is not marginalized by those illegally voting. This is no longer a partisan issue; this is standing up for Americans and for our great nation. We the People hold the power, the understanding, and the rights to make sure local, state, and federal government govern for the people and in accordance with the Constitution to preserve the rights we are guaranteed as citizens of a free nation. The only way to meet the challenges facing our communities is to get involved and act. That is exactly what I am stepping up to do for Arizona Legislative District 9.

I know freedom isn't free -- my son Brent lost both legs fighting for us in Iraq to keep America free! I'm running for State House because we need more regular citizens involved, not more lawyers or politicians. I want election integrity and ballot security so everyone can get honest, reliable election results quickly. I want school districts to focus on educating, not indoctrinating, our kids, without getting sidetracked by political agendas that have nothing to do with the Three R's. I want to support police and fire and give them the tools they need, not have the public's safety held hostage by radicals who want to defund and eliminate them. I want secure borders, our wall finished, and immigration laws enforced. I want balanced budgets and sensible policies to help fight inflation and high gas prices. I want a long-term plan for water issues, because as our population continues to grow, water becomes increasingly important. If you want a commonsense candidate who wants to do right, without the political games, then I ask for your vote. Thank you!
David Farnsworth
State Senator - District 10
Republican
After I served in the State Senate I was retired, until the calls came asking me to run again. I was told that Representative Bowers was running for Senate and leadership. I have respected him for years, but his politics have shifted so far left, that I was persuaded to run, to keep a conservative in this seat. Rusty campaigns as a conservative, but he blocks important election integrity bills, soft-pedals problems like illegal immigration, and has taken the lead in pushing agendas that place our kids at risk in their schools, against their parent's wishes, apparently, so he can appeal to a liberal media and establishment that is hostile to our founding values. With such a closely divided legislature, we cannot afford to elect Republicans who will not champion our values. I have been named Champion of the Taxpayer and my record shows I am 100% for border security, school choice, pro 2nd Amendment, pro-life and pro-family. I am a third generation Arizonan. Please vote for the team of Farnsworth, Heap and Parker. We must protect our state from those who would turn us into California! May the Lord help us restore liberty! David Christian Farnsworth

As your State Senator in District 10, I will work tirelessly with every day citizens, leaders, and policy makers on both sides of the aisle to create legislation that is bipartisan.

Justin Heap
State Representative - District 10

http://www.voteheap.com
I'm a first-time candidate running for the Arizona State House. I am running because I see what the left is doing to our country from Washington DC, and what they are doing in neighboring states like California, New Mexico, and Colorado, and I know Arizona can do better. Arizona is one of America's most successful states because of our pro-growth policies and because we are protecting the principles and liberties that have made America great for so long. But our values are under attack. Not just from liberal Democrats, but from their liberal Republican allies. Today, good legislative bills are dying because Republicans are not united around core values like school choice, lower taxes, free-market solutions, protecting the unborn, and our Constitutional liberties. My family roots run very deep in this wonderful state, and I'm sure the Heap family will continue to call Arizona home for generations to come. I'm running to serve those future generations by fighting for what is right and what works today. I am requesting your support and will be honored to serve as your representative as we work to save our great state.

It's been said that education is a great equalizer, where common people can accomplish uncommon achievements. The goal of our education system is to create conditions where learners can contribute to our society and therefore improve a person's quality of life. Our education process at the local, state, and federal level must be looked at as an investment in people rather than a system of liabilities. As a former school teacher, school administrator and school board member, I will lead the fight for school funding based on updated population and inflation data since 2008; to get an accurate aggregate expenditure limit amount. Until then and only then will we know the accurate amount our public school districts deserve. I support businesses. Businesses strive with well skilled and educated employees. Those future employees are sitting in our classrooms today. I will bring the business and education stakeholders together when elected to better serve our students. I will fight for families; especially ones pending eviction. There are over 65,000 families in Arizona currently in danger of being evicted. Many of these families are in my district.

We need better funding for education, more affordable housing options, high quality jobs, and sustainable water solutions. As your current House Representative and a computer systems analyst, I am a problem-solver with a successful track record. In 2021, I led a statewide team to develop and pass bipartisan solutions for Arizona's Unemployment Insurance system. The results are better benefits for workers and lower tax rates for employers. As a former school board member, I am known for listening to parents, teachers, and students, and I speak up at the Capitol for the support our schools need in order to offer an excellent education and keep qualified educators. As a small business owner, I know first-hand that public policies must provide a supportive environment for your business to compete and grow. I push for fiscal responsibility and government integrity: our tax dollars belong in our pockets and in the programs that help our community, not in the pockets of cronies and special interests. Practical solutions are possible without raising taxes, if we work together. In the AZ Senate, I will continue listening, collaborating and leading to stop the partisan games and build on Arizona's strengths.

As a scientist, with a degree in Geosciences, I have the experience working on water and climate change issues that we need in the Legislature to help find sustainable answers to Arizona's future. As a U.S. Army Veteran, I fought corruption and fraud at the VA as an advocate for homeless and disabled Veterans. We must represent the will of our community with trust, honesty, integrity and transparency. Government needs to work for us again and our state budget must reflect our collective values. We need a common sense approach, to focus more on issues that bring us together, less on what divides us, and meet the needs of all Arizonans by coming together. As a mom, I think a lot about the legacy we are leaving our children. I see their world of opportunity getting smaller: their access to quality education, making their own family planning and healthcare decisions, the environment they will inherit, whether they will have a voice in their democracy. I'm in this fight for their future, and I'm in it for yours, too.

I am a proud Arizonan of over 30 years and an active member of the Chandler community. I dedicated my entire professional career to our public schools, working as a teacher and principal. After retiring from my career in education, I continued to give back to my community and worked closely with groups like Save Our Schools Arizona and the League of Women Voters. I have always been in the business of helping people and these experiences have shaped my campaign platform. My number one priority is fully funding our public school and providing them with the resources they need to support students and retain qualified teachers. I know that we must address our drought and ensure access to clean water for future generations. I believe in protecting healthcare privacy for all Arizonans, including the right to choose. As a retired educator, mother, and grandmother, I have exactly the kind of experience that the Arizona Senate needs.

As your legislator, I've written some of Arizona's most consequential laws. They include: Protecting health coverage for Arizonans with pre-existing conditions, raising teacher pay by 20% (which was the largest education investment in state history), protecting survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, confronting the opioid epidemic, shielding seniors from financial exploitation, creating veteran-friendly college campuses, stopping short term rental "party houses" from disrupting neighborhoods, reforming Arizona's tax code into a flat tax (which was the biggest tax cut ever), increasing Arizona's Rainy Day Fund savings, balancing the budget, and passing responsible commonsense election integrity measures like the Voter ID proposition on your ballot. That's why I've received awards like Guardian of Small Business, Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, Open Government Leader, and many others. There are those who want to undo all the progress we've made and turn us into their version of today's California. We can't let that happen. That's why I need your vote. Let me continue using my diverse background, which includes husband (to a registered nurse), father to two adorable little girls, professor, and small business owner, with master's degrees in business and public administration, to keep delivering results for you.

After moving to Chandler in 1999, Arizona is the place I call "home." It's an amazing state but the things that make it successful are under attack. Ironically, liberals fleeing high-tax, high-regulation states are moving to low-tax, low-regulation states like Arizona, but they're bringing their liberal policies and voting habits with them. We need to make sure we don't let this leftward push ruin everything that's working in Arizona. I'll work to end COVID mandates, protect school choice/parental rights, and secure borders. I'll advocate for election integrity to have honest/fair elections and the enforcement of our laws. I'll work for a strong economy and safe neighborhoods. And I'll oppose efforts to raise taxes or give government greater control over our lives and daily decisions. As a servant leader for the last several decades, I am committed to you and I will work tirelessly to get the job done! I'm a mother, blessed with three great kids. I've worked in real estate for the last 17 years and have served in a variety of community and industry positions. I ask for your vote so Julie Willoughby and I can get to work to do all I can for Arizona and our district!

I am running for re-election to the Arizona House of Representatives as a person who cares deeply about the state. I was born and raised in Arizona; my husband and I chose to raise our daughters here. In 2016, I left the classroom to run for legislative office. During my two terms, I have served on the House Education Committee. I have supported bills that positively impact students from K-12 through university. Some of these include preschool funding, gifted funding, adult education and work-force development, and more counselors. Voting rights are of great concern to people who live in the district. When voting on these bills, it is important that they are constitutional and able to be implemented. Voting should be simple, yet secure. Finally, as desert dwellers, we must understand the importance of water. The decisions we make as legislators will impact Arizonans for decades. We must be thoughtful and include a multitude of stakeholders as we contemplate how we will allocate(and perhaps augment) water in Arizona. There is much work to be done in these areas and many others. I am committed to showing up and thoroughly doing my job in a thoughtful, contemplative manner.

Thank you for your trust, support, and opportunity to serve you. I ran for office as a small business owner and concerned citizen, promising to limit government and protect our Constitutional rights. I have kept my promises. I'm a top-ranked conservative in the Legislature and have been awarded Small Business Legislator of the Year, Hero of the Taxpayer, #1 for Constitutional Voting, Free Market Champion, Top Regulatory Reformer, Guardian of Small Business, A rating by NRA, and Friend of the Family. I passed legislation to eliminate politicians' pensions and to shrink government. Arizona has dramatically increased K-12 funding (currently over $14,000/student), is enjoying record breaking surpluses (even after passing record tax cuts), and our economy and job numbers are national leaders. I'm proud to be running as part of the proven conservative team of Petersen, Grantham, and Hendrix, and hope you'll elect them as well. Grantham and Hendrix face a challenge from a candidate who disagrees with our conservative values. Visit www.votewarrenpetersen.com to learn more and feel free to contact me with any questions.

I'm a third-generation Arizona native, and I'm proud to serve as a Commander and Instructor pilot in the Arizona Air National Guard. For the last two years, your team of Warren Petersen, Jake Hoffman and I have won awards from taxpayer and family groups because of our consistent conservative records in support of policies that protect Arizonans and make us stronger - Secure Borders, Election Integrity, Strong Schools, Low Taxes, Constitutional Liberties, and more. Now, Arizona leads the nation in economic growth, Arizona schools are national leaders in closing the achievement gap, and people are moving here from all over the country, because Arizona is doing things right. Because of redistricting, Jake Hoffman is now in another district, so we're excited to be running with Laurin Hendrix, who served well previously, and who has been outstanding on the City Council these last two years. You can count on us to work hard on everything from education to health care, water to public safety, medical freedom and more. Keep Arizona on the RIGHT track and elect the team you can trust - Petersen, Grantham and Hendrix. Thank you!
Laurin Hendrix
State Representative - District 14

I served in the Legislature before, earned a conservative reputation, and returned to the private sector. Several years later I was asked to run for City Council because they needed a conservative they could count on, so I agreed, and have fought to protect taxpayers, support public safety, and take care of the needs of a fast-growing city. Now, I've agreed to return to the Legislature because a lot of really important issues are dying because of tiny, one-vote margins. Every seat matters and we need consistent conservatives. That's why I'm running with Warren Petersen and Travis Grantham. REMEMBER, YOU GET TWO VOTES FOR STATE HOUSE! Vote Grantham and Hendrix. Please don't elect Travis and one of our liberal opponents to cancel out his conservative vote. We need to secure our elections and our borders, we need to keep Critical Race Theory (CRT) out of our schools, we need to keep our economy on track and stop left-wing ideas like cancel culture and turning Arizona into California. Every vote matters, so please elect your conservative team of Petersen, Grantham, and Hendrix, and THANK YOU for doing your part. We won't let you down!

I'm running for State Representative because Gilbert needs a visible, present leader who will listen to and truly represent the people and families that make our community so great. I come from a working-class family that rarely made ends meet. But through hard work, scholarships, and student loans, I realized my dream and earned my degree. As a forensic scientist and peace officer, I earned the recognition and respect of my peers and supervisors through leadership, integrity, and dedication. As your legislator, I will apply that same work ethic to earn your respect and trust. As a mom who's raised 2 daughters in our neighborhood schools, I will be a champion for education funding that is fair and strengthens our public schools. As an Arizonan who cares deeply about our natural resources, I will listen to water experts and advocate for real solutions to our water crisis. As a legislator, I will fill a significant void by restoring professionalism and bringing reason and respect back to Arizona politics. And as a woman, I will be a voice to protect essential medical freedom. I am the leader we need in the House of Representatives, and I ask for your vote.

As the 2021 National Legislator of the Year, a 100% rated constitutional conservative legislator, a champion of the family and taxpayers, an A+ defender of the Second Amendment, and fierce advocate for the freedom, opportunity, and prosperity that exists in Arizona, you can have confidence that I will always fight for you. At the Capitol I have been hard at work to secure our elections, authoring legislation to ban the private funding of elections, prohibit the mass mailing of ballots to voters who didn't request it, and require proof of citizenship to vote. I've fought to protect children by prohibiting sexually explicit material from being used in our schools. I've stood up against the tyranny of COVID by protecting small businesses from rogue government agencies, and this year, banning any Arizona government from requiring a COVID vaccine. I'm proud to be running as a team with two incredible conservative Republicans, Jacqueline Parker and Neal Carter. I ask that you support all three of us. You get ONE vote for State Senate and TWO votes for State House. If you want a conservative team that works together to get great things done, please vote for HOFFMAN, PARKER, and CARTER for Legislature!

"I will be your Citizen Legislator." I will be your state senator for two election cycles(4 yrs) and retire. I am not a professional politician, like my opponent, special interest focused election denier Jake Hoffman. I am running on your Arizona Priorities supporting: - Democracy's free and fair election results - Strong public schools, community colleges and state universities. - Women's Rights, especially, Women's Privacy & Healthcare Rights - Common sense gun legislation - Continued use of early and mail-in voting - Statewide water planning and conservation These core priorities will shape the decisions I make as your state senator. My opponent is against all of these priorities. Hoffman ignored the people's vote count in AZ, supports universal vouchers for private schools, wants to ban all abortions with no exceptions, is 100% with the NRA, against early & mail-in voting and for residential development without a guaranteed water supply.

Serving as your representative is a position of sacred trust, a trust I take very seriously. Issues close to my heart include protecting religious liberty and the unborn, reducing taxes and spending, eliminating government waste, enhancing border security, and protecting the integrity of education through expanding parental rights and school choice. I am 100% pro-life: I voted for the heartbeat bill and for an end to chemical abortions; 100% pro-2nd Amendment: a longtime CCW permit holder myself and sporting enthusiast; 100% committed to reducing taxes; I've signed Americans for Tax Reform's pledge never to raise taxes, and 100% committed to freedom whether it be health freedom, educational freedom or economic freedom. Victories this past session include fighting against mask requirements by passing a bill in the State House banning masks at all government offices and standing up for local determination where incorporation is involved. Fighting for you means building allies with shared vision and tested principles. I'm proud to be running with Jacqueline Parker and Jake Hoffman as your conservative, constitutional voice in the legislature. No other team has the expertise, wherewithal and stamina to champion your causes better than Carter, Parker and Hoffman. Thank you for your vote.

As one of the top fiscal conservatives in the legislature, I'm running for re-election to continue fighting against the democrat agenda infusing our state, our elections, and our schools. During my first term, I've drafted policy that has protected the unborn, pushed back against unconstitutional mandates, and helped restore our broken system of checks and balances. I've received 100% rankings as a constitutional conservative and champion of the family and taxpayers, as well as an A+ ranking for defending the 2nd Amendment. I'm a born and raised Arizona native, but I've traveled all over the country earning a B.A. in Philosophy from BYU, an M.A. in Literature from ASU, and a J.D. from USF in California. I'm fluent in Spanish having served church and medical missions in Texas, Mexico, Ecuador, and Nicaragua, so I understand better than most what is needed to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration. I've been working this past year with Jake Hoffman and Neal Carter in the legislature and the 3 of us are now running together as your conservative team in LD15! Arizonans deserve PROVEN conservative leadership with a demonstrated ability to deliver results and solutions. Please vote PARKER, CARTER, and HOFFMAN.

It has been my great privilege to serve on the Casa Grande Union High School Governing Board starting in 2020 where I have advocated for teachers and students. In this time, I have worked with talented and dedicated staff who are passionate about student success. However, our legislature has continued to not give schools the resources they need to be successful. As a father I have grown increasingly concerned for my daughters who are growing up in underfunded Casa Grande schools. Our legislature must address the issue of education, and work to move democracy forward. We must make voting more accessible and work across the aisle to solve our state's toughest challenges. When elected, I will be a strong advocate for our children's education and diligently fight to protect democracy for their generation.

Arizona is a national leader in job creation and economic growth, so a big part of what our Legislature needs to do is keep our state on the right track. That means pro-growth policies, greater infrastructure, long-term water plans, quality K-12 schools and universities, and safe communities. Amazingly, today's Democratic candidates are campaigning on defunding the police, closing charter schools and eliminating school choice for parents, and turning our K-12 schools into labs where our kids are the test subjects. They want higher taxes, more regulations, and basically want to turn Arizona into California. NO THANK YOU! I'll work for common-sense legislation to protects kids, families, small businesses, agriculture, and taxpayers. I'll support efforts to secure our border, end the deadly flow of fentanyl and other drugs, and stop human trafficking. I'll support our police and fire and give them the tools they need to keep themselves and us safe. I'm a husband (28 years), a father (of 7), a pastor and small business owner, I'm deeply rooted in our community, and I've been called to public service because I believe our state and country needs more regular Joes running for office. My only "special interest" will be you!

I moved to Arizona in 1974 to start my first teaching job in Lake Havasu City. I continued teaching and began raising my family here. I even went back to school at Northern Arizona University and earned a master's in teaching English. My love for teaching led me to reignite my passion for politics. Over the next 40 years, I dedicated my life to education while raising my daughter. I worked as a teacher, principal, and superintendent in Mohave County. My time in education showed me the problems that teachers and students face; I decided I wanted to be a part of the solution. Upon my retirement in 2010, I started volunteering more frequently with the Casa Grande and Pinal County Democrats. Then in 2018, I ran - and won - a seat on the Coolidge Unified School Board. As a school board member, I have worked to support local students, teachers, and the community. I am running to represent LD-16 in the state legislature because I want to continue my life's work of supporting our communities. If elected, I will fight for Arizona students, teachers, and families.

As a pastor and educator, my passion has been to bring together diverse groups of people to improve our communities, our state, our country, and our world. I'm running to repair the dysfunctional state senate that no longer seeks to find solutions to the challenges facing Arizona. Instead, it has wasted our tax dollars on frivolous audits and introduced legislation that serves only to divide us. My experience leading 25-member rural congregations and 1,000+ member urban congregations, as president of a graduate school, and as a developer of new churches in Arizona and Nevada provides the tools needed to get the senate to work for Arizonans. We can create a hopeful and prosperous future for all Arizonans. We must fully fund public schools to retain dedicated teachers who will nurture a well-educated citizenry; we must implement a plan to conserve and develop our surface and groundwater resources; we must guarantee affordable quality health care for all Arizonans. Above all, I will fight to protect your most basic rights and freedoms. The right to vote and have your vote counted honestly.

I am a retired Army Lt. Colonel and a proud 1994 graduate of West Point. My husband and I have been married 22 years and have four wonderful children, three of whom are triplets. Recent events make me worry about our children's future. In a very short period, we have witnessed a dramatic erosion of our individual rights - The right to free and fair elections; the right to make our own decisions about reproductive and medical choices; the right to a fully funded public education and the right to clean and abundant water. Preserving these rights will improve life for the majority of Arizonans and strengthen our state's economy. Unless we act right now, my children and yours will grow up in a country with far fewer rights than we had growing up. We cannot take our precious democracy for granted. A radical minority is turning back the clock, so we must fight to protect our shared public values. What kind of Arizona will we leave for our children? I ask for your vote to make sure that their future remains bright.

My husband and I have raised our children on Christian, Conservative, and Arizona values. My faith is my prime motivator in all I do for my family and my state. My time in business made me a strong, calculated, and passionate leader, and I now hope to continue utilizing my experience to identify problems, execute solutions, and deliver results in the State House in Phoenix. Having children truly refined my beliefs on the importance of the family in communities. This is why I decided to put my business life aside, and focus on my family, and the families of all Arizonans. This led me to become a teacher, fostering the next generation of Americans. But my business background could not be hidden, so I eventually became the Director of the preschool. As a mother of five, former teacher, and former business executive, I knew that I could no longer sit by and let the Socialist Democrats in Phoenix ruin our great state. This is why I have been a local leader on pro-life, medical freedom, and the border crisis. I am an Authentic Conservative Fighter and will not stop until we have restored Arizona's values.

The events over the past two years have been both astounding and terrifying. We saw a corrupted electoral system, schools teaching critical race theory and radical sexuality to young children, and a governor declaring a state of emergency that gave him the power to mandate medical decisions, close down whatever business he deemed unessential, and have our schools closed down. I looked to our elected leaders for help and couldn't find anyone willing to stand up and fight for us. It became apparent that the politicians were more worried about their own political careers than doing what was right. I am running to fix the broken election system and eliminate the potential for fraud, to make sure medical decisions are left up to you and your doctor and not your politician and employer. I'm running to fix the school system and create school choice for all Arizonans, to make sure we teach the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic and not critical race theory, radical sexuality and gender theory. We need an uncompromising fighter who will fight for freedom and liberty and won't back down. I am running to be that fighter.

Why am I running for office? After working 33 years for the Department of Defense, I knew in my retirement that I couldn't stand by and watch my great state and country continue down the path it was heading. Gas prices continue to rise; inflation is higher than it's been in years; our freedoms and liberties are being challenged; people are not respecting police, first responders, or our military; our border is not being enforced; and common respect and courtesy is fading. Families are being torn about by political division that is fueled by the mainstream media. In some ways, I'm glad my mother is not alive to witness the state of things. I respect everyone and will fight for your constitutional freedoms. I helped to raise my three kids in Arizona, and all graduated from Arizona schools. I am a certified substitute teacher in Arizona and have worked in Amphitheater and Marana schools. I wish for Arizona children to have a quality education. It's time Arizona leads the nation in restoring respect, responsibility, and common decency back into Arizona and our lives. I'm running to make a positive difference!

We must prioritize public education and fully fund it so that we can ensure all students receive an education that will allow them to be successful in the paths they choose.

Education in Arizona should bring opportunities for all students to learn in a variety of modalities in order to prepare for a bright future. I am a Gun Sense Candidate and will work for sensible gun legislation. I will protect a pregnant person's right to choose what they want for their body. I support and will protect voter's rights. It is essential to our Democracy that each person who is able to vote has the opportunity to do so.

I've worked to put an end to the liberal establishment running our state, and to make sure rural Arizona has a strong voice to stand up to the Maricopa County majorities that dominate our State Legislature. I've been named Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, earned an A+ from the NRA, turned our state's budget deficit into a surplus, and helped turn Arizona into the #1 pro-life state, #1 pro-2ndAmendment state, and #1 pro-school choice state in the country, all while cutting regulations and growing jobs! Your values are my values! I've served as Speaker of the House, giving Southern and rural Arizona real influence, and today, as the Senate Appropriations Chairman, that influence continues. My mission is the same - to give you, our district, and Arizona, my very best! I continue to fight for election integrity, secure borders, high-paying jobs, quality schools and school choice, taking care of our police and veterans, and more. I ask for your vote and thank you for the trust you have shown in me through the years. God bless!

With a sense of profound gratitude for all this country has given to me, with a determination to build a better, more sustainable, more inclusive Arizona for everyone, I am running for a seat in the AZ House, LD19 Born in Bucharest, Romania, I came to the University of TX in Austin in 1968. There I met my life partner and husband, cellist/playwright Harry Clark. Together we have enjoyed a tough but rewarding life in the field of chamber music. My reasons for running: 1. Growing up in Bucharest, witnessing the events in Ukraine, told me it's time to stop complaining and do something! 2. My life in music gifted me with perseverance, determination and the joy teamwork provides. I am running because I am passionate to keep our Republic, to promote and restore civility and decency to our town square. We are better together! Time to appreciate how lucky we are to be Americans. I promise to call as I see it, to work to preserve our freedoms, protect the planet, protect and expand affordable healthcare, secure a good wage and public education for our kids

As a native Arizonan my commitment to my faith, my family, my community, and my country, are why I serve in the State House of Representatives. I will stand for the conservative constitutional freedoms afforded to us by God. Senator David Gowan, Representative Gail Griffin and I are fighting for religious freedom, election integrity, border security, water, a strong stable economy, freedom from medical tyranny, our 2nd Amendment rights, our mining and agricultural communities, and the rights of parents to direct the education of their children. I was born in Cochise County and grew up the son of a miner in Bisbee. I currently live in Benson with my wife of 47 years (and high school sweetheart) Mary. We are blessed with two children and eleven grandchildren. The work I do as your legislator, I do for you.

Sally Gonzales
State Senator - District 20
Democratic
I am Senator Sally Ann Gonzales. I've had the privilege and honor to serve my constituents for the past 12 years. It has been my mission to advocate and protect our most vulnerable citizens, our children, elders, disabled, and veterans. As Arizona continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and enters a housing crisis, it is crucial to continue to work to provide a safety-net for all our citizens impacted. In the education arena, fully funding our public district schools means providing, competitive salaries and benefits for all teachers and support staff as well as smaller classroom sizes. Having full-time counselors and nurses at each school is vital for the social and emotional wellbeing of our students. I'm committed to expanding vocational opportunities and growing our workforce by funding and supporting programs like JTED. It is essential that our three universities/community colleges be recognized, treated, and funded as engines of economic development in Arizona. In closing, clean air and water are essential to the well-being of our citizens. Therefore, Arizona must have strong laws to ensure the protection and improvement of our environment. PROTECTING OUR VOTING RIGHTS IS FUNDAMENTAL! I humbly ask for your continued support on November 8, 2022.
Andres Cano
State Representative - District 20
Democratic
https://www.andresforarizona.com
Hello! I'm State Representative Andres Cano. I've had the honor of serving in the Arizona House of Representatives since 2019. Arizona continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. For example: our state is at the bottom of K-12 spending nationwide, we spend more money sending people to prison annually than on our three universities combined, housing costs are skyrocketing, and our environment is more at risk than ever before. As your voice at the Capitol, I opposed dozens of laws restricting our freedom to vote, voted against the 15-week abortion ban, and vehemently said "no" to the passage of discriminatory legislation that harms Arizona's LGBTQ+ youth. While my Republican colleagues refuse to bring us together, I won't sit silent: I'm running for reelection to hold them accountable and to leave our state with a reputation we can be proud of. With a $5 billion surplus, we have the resources needed to invest in working families and small businesses, to lower health care costs, increase teacher pay, and to protect our air, land, and water. I humbly ask for your vote of confidence as I seek to continue representing our shared values in the State House. Thank you.

After graduating from Sunnyside High School, she attended the University of Arizona, where she earned a master's in public health and a second masters in law and Economics.

Today, Alma Hernandez serves as a State Representative for LD-20, becoming a strong voice for women and communities of color in the Arizona House. In the Arizona House, she's authored several bills focused on economic empowerment, healthcare, and education.

As your State Representative, Alma will continue working to build up her community, strengthen our small business community and improve education funding across our state.

I believe families are the foundation for all communities. It is no exaggeration to say that strong families mean strong communities! I will fight for the family! I will fight for parents and children's rights. I support fully funding law and border enforcement to make our streets safe for families, to stem the tide of human and sexual trafficking and to combat the deadly fentanyl and opioids flooding our streets. My opponent supports defunding the police. I will fight for the right of girls to compete against girls, my opponent supports biological males competing against girls. I will fight against life altering, irreversible gender assignment surgery for minors. My opponent supports these drastic surgeries. I will fight to protect the freedom of families to choose the best educational choice for their children. My opponent will deny families this choice. I support free markets, small businesses and responsible use of our natural resources. Our state government exists to provide a safe civic environment in which families can grow, thrive and prosper. As your State Senator I will fight for what matters most, the family. Vote Cleveland for Arizona State Senate for a bright future and prosperous Arizona!

My campaign for State Representative is reflection of my passion and mission to make things better for the people of Tucson and Pima County. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in Global Health, I dedicated my career to mentoring at-risk youth and spent over a decade fighting for education equity in Pima County.

My wife and I moved from Missouri over 16 years ago. I have a son and a daughter who have all just recently moved out on their own. I have worked as a photographer and a graphic designer with a splash of insurance mixed in. I took on the role of compliance manager within the agricultural field because they needed knowledgeable and strong analytical skills to keep the public safe from a growing industry. Working in the medical cannabis industry let me to work with legislators and regulators across many boards to craft rules for testing and safety spread over many divisions. Working a number of issues to keep public safety and community standards as number one with local supervisors and school program coordinators to maintain public trust, knowledge and zoning guidelines. I am blue collar through and through, from my grandfathers butcher and farmer roots to my father's union electrician career, I learned what it meant to work hard and complete the work you are asked to do. As your next representative I will bring these work ethics with me as your voice in Phoenix, being that strong, loud, voice Southern Arizona needs. Thank you for your support.

For many years I have worked for Criminal Investigation Divisions. Quality assurance and accountability are the most important aspects of that job. It is with this level of importance and seriousness that I take these attributes with me to the legislature. Having followed the constitution and the rule of law throughout my career, it is only natural that I should continue on that path. I appreciate my small town upbringing with family and moral values. Being active in church and community organizations taught me the importance of serving others. As a past Grassroots Coordinator to a national organization I know that I can work across the aisle with all legislative team members. I've hunted with my father and range-qualified with my co-workers. I've volunteered to do the dirty work no one else wanted and I did it with pride and accountability. My husband and I moved to Rio Rico 5 years ago. We recognized the same small town atmosphere that we grew up with. Through government oversight, transparency and accountability I will represent local district interests with fairness and equality to all citizens. I'm running for office to protect your rights and maintain your family values in Arizona.

As the wife of a public middle school teacher and mom of three children, education has always been a top priority.

Brian Fernandez was hand-picked by his mom for this Senate seat, she then lent him $20,000 to campaign. Almost 90% of his donations are from CA, NY, DC, and Chicago, or lobbyists/PACs. He's endorsed by Planned Parenthood, supports abortion up to the moment of delivery, and wants to defund our police. Brian admits he hasn't lived in our district for the last 7 years and he came back just to be appointed to his Mom's seat. Our Senate seat isn't the property of one family, to pass around and take turns with. The seat belongs to We The People, and WE DESERVE BETTER! I've spent my life working in and for our community. I've lived in Mexico and am bi-lingual, which helps me to represent our entire district. I'm pro-schools, pro-family, and pro-public safety. We need good jobs, safe neighborhoods, improved infrastructure, lower gas/food prices, mental health programs, and a State Senator who serves the people with integrity. No more radical ideas that hurt our kids, our communities and threatened our way of life. I ask for your vote so I can go and fix what hasn't been done since the Fernandez family took over!

My family moved to Arizona 15 years ago, this is where we chose to raise our family. If you allow me the opportunity to serve you as State Representative, I will work to make Arizona a place where all people feel welcomed and are able to thrive. I've had the honor of serving my community through my career, volunteer service, as community organizer, and elected school board member (Agua Fria UHSD). We've had the same party leading Arizona since the Vietnam War; this is simply not working for families today. We've got big challenges in Arizona including education, affordable healthcare/housing, need for a living wage, voter suppression and prolonged drought. Our district needs someone with the experience and commitment to tackle these challenges. But nothing will be addressed until we elect new leadership. If elected, I will take on those challenges, beginning with public education funding and educator pay. Arizona needs trusted servant-leaders with values and integrity that reflect our working-class. We need representatives who understand and put the needs of the voters above their own interests. I commit to be that representative for you and your family. I hope to earn your vote, so that together, we can build a better Arizona for all!

Anna began advocating for police accountability and reinvestment of the police budget in community resources after her brother was killed by the Phoenix Police Department in 2019.

She is a graduate of Baylor University. In Arizona, (1993), she grew into a leadership role with Valley Interfaith Project as a grassroots leader, organizing public actions. Her involvement & leadership led to the birth of the Arizona Coalition for Immigrant Rights, an effort to civically engage families in public discourse which ultimately culminated in the massive marches that encouraged over 300,000 families to advocate for immigrant rights. This exposed Arizona nationally, and for the first time, our state was engaged in the conversation with national groups regarding training, civic engagement, citizen workshops, voter registration, and get-out- the-vote efforts. Currently, Mrs. Hernandez serves on the Cartwright School District Governing Board #83 where she has served since 2003. In 2010, under her leadership, turned the District academically around.

I'm Analise Ortiz and I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for State Representative LD 24. I was born-and-raised in Arizona. My parents are both educators who taught their six kids that our communities are strongest when neighbors give back to each other. I graduated from ASU and became an investigative journalist. As I uncovered injustice in my community, I knew I couldn't just report on it-I had to work to change it. For years, I've served our community through my work at a civil rights organization where I successfully advocated for criminal justice reform legislation to be signed into law and defeated legislation that threatened our right to vote and our right to access reproductive healthcare. In my thousands of conversations with LD 24 voters, I've heard that people are demanding bold action to fully-fund our public schools, end unjust rent hikes, and protect civil rights. I've spent my career holding powerful politicians accountable and helping my neighbors get answers to problems. As your State Representative, I will answer to you-the people of Maryvale and Glendale. Thank you for trusting me, LD 24. I am ready to get to work.

Thank you for allowing me the honor of serving as your State Senator. Arizona is again a national leader in job production and economic growth because of the great pro-growth environment we have built. I continue to vote as a conservative and I win awards from pro-family and pro-taxpayer groups because of it. I'll always be pro-taxpayer, pro-family, pro-life, and pro-Constitution! The Kerr Family owns and operates a dairy farm in Buckeye and our 4th generation Arizona roots are deep in the soil. Among the issues I work on at the Legislature are education (promoting school choice and ending radical ideas like Critical Race Theory), water, public safety, and growing our economy with high-paying jobs. I'm grateful for everyone in both Maricopa and Yuma County who is working with me to protect our blessed state and country. Today, the left has become irrational and increasingly confrontational, so we must all remain steadfast to protect our nation's foundational values and ideals. I ask for your vote so I can continue doing this important work and thank you for your prayers and support!

Arizona is a great place to live. Our economy has rebounded out of Covid in a very positive manner. As a legislator I will continue to push for physical conservative principles. We should continue to adequately fund those agencies that are crucial for the public good and education. Without raising taxes. I support the additional funding we have provided to the national guard to interdict drugs coming across the border. The water providers of the state have prepared for a drought like we are in currently. As a legislator I will continue to advocate for new sources of water outside of the state to be brought in.

I am asking for your vote to continue the fight to ensure every child can grow up in the best community possible and that those who have given their time and years of work to the district can enjoy the fruits of that work. That means fighting for quality, fully-funded neighborhood public schools, access to affordable healthcare for everyone, bringing good-paying jobs back to the district, and access to safe, affordable housing.

Strong PreK-12 public schools, affordable housing, and access to healthcare are necessities. With a background in economic and immigration policy, I am committed to supporting small businesses, as well as ensuring dignity in all work.

As a former legislator, I have a proven record of fighting inflation and the reckless government spending that powers it. I voted to decrease taxes while simultaneously increase K-12 funding and teacher pay by 20%. I support first responders, securing our southern border, election integrity and transparency measures, second amendment, low taxes, safe neighborhoods, and balanced budgets. We must work to secure our water resources for our future and our children's future. We can make government focus on its core responsibilities by saying NO to the special interests that come looking for taxpayer-funded handouts. My opponent supports radical ideas such as defunding the police, open borders, and ideas that will eliminate Arizona jobs and cost taxpayers billions. If you want to elect someone with a proven record of supporting law enforcement, K-12 funding, teachers, defending individual liberties and more, then please vote Anthony Kern for State Senate. I've been awarded the Liberty Award, Friend of the Family Award, and Hero of the Taxpayer Award and I never forget that I work exclusively for YOU! Please vote Anthony Kern for State Senate, Ben Toma and Kevin Payne for State House. On behalf of my wife and family, thank you!

I oppose the education voucher expansion recently passed by the legislature. I firmly believe that Arizona elections have been and continue to be free and fair. I support the permanent early voting list and no excuse vote by mail. I will support changes that make voting easier.

As the House Majority Leader I've worked with my seatmate Kevin Payne and passed reforms to make our elections more secure and transparent. I authored and led passage of the largest tax cut in state history, produced record tax revenues, increased K-12 classroom funding and teacher pay, voted to stop to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other left-wing attempts to indoctrinate our kids, and have one of the strongest economies and job markets in the nation. I have a 100% pro-Constitution voting record and, as the father of five girls, am absolutely committed to protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. I'm running as a team with Anthony Kern and Kevin Payne because we need legislators who are committed to protecting taxpayers, limiting the size of government, battling inflation and high prices, improving our health care system, and protecting our liberties. This battle is not for the faint of heart, but you can count on us to work together to protect Arizona. We ask for your vote!

I've worked hard on the issues you tell me matter most - Election Integrity, Ending Illegal Immigration, Public Safety, Improving Transportation, Jobs, Quality Schools and School Choice, Water, and Protecting Our Constitutional Rights. As your State Senator I'll continue to produce real results for you. I'm running with David Livingston and Beverly Pingerelli because, like me, they are award-winning Champions of the Taxpayer and Families and we share common conservative values. I spent my career in the automotive industry, on the mechanical and technological side, so my heart is with the working men and women of this country who want their government to do its job and to otherwise leave them alone to live in peace. I'm a member of the NRA, AZCDL, and Arizona State Rifle & Pistol Association, and I also work with Americans for Prosperity. I'm grateful for the endorsements and support I've received from so many of you all over our district and won't ever forget what it means to be a public servant. I'd be honored to once again earn your vote and hope you will support our team. Thank you.

I am a local business owner and current President of the Peoria Unified School District governing board with a rich history in the City of Peoria and the northwest valley. My mom and her siblings graduating from Peoria High School in the early 1930s. My Aunt Toni Lebario was the first Hispanic-woman business owner in Peoria, my wife is a Cactus High School grad, and our two children are products of Parkridge Elementary and Sunrise Mountain High School. As you can see the City of Peoria and the northwest valley hold a special place in my heart. As a son of parents who understood people and prioritized service to others, and of a WWII Army veteran who exemplified hard work and putting others before yourself. I am grateful for the lessons taught by my mom and dad and their instilling in me my faith, and the values of leading with others in mind with compassion and empathy and choosing courage over comfort. I am an engaged leader who prioritizes the voice of everyone to safeguard a life of fulfillment. I will continue to listen first and appropriate our dollars and resources into the areas that matter to you most.

I am a wife, mother, small business owner, endurance athlete, and veteran. I am running as the Democratic candidate for Arizona State House of Representatives in Legislative District 28. A bit about me. I have family roots here in Arizona. As a child, my grandmother came to the state in a covered wagon in 1907 before Arizona was a state. Her family homesteaded outside of Pearce, Arizona. My uncle still lives on the ranch. I left Arizona in high school but returned in 1998. I love it here. I want it to continue to be a welcoming state with freedom and opportunities for everyone. I believe our citizens want the same things. The kitchen table issues: Quality education - an excellent public school system Health and wellbeing - access to quality and affordable healthcare Good paying jobs and opportunity Environmental practices for a sustainable future including water security. Voting rights and participation in civic engagement An equitable and just system where all citizens are treated fairly I look forward to the opportunity to represent the citizens of Arizona's Legislative District 28.

When I ran for office, I promised to put taxpayers and families first, and I've done exactly that. I have a 100% voting record FOR secure elections, a strong border (including a border wall), and an end to illegal immigration. I have a 100% pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment record. I've earned the "Friend of the Family" and the "Hero of the Taxpayer" awards and have led on education funding and teacher pay increases. The Wuhan virus knocked our economy down but today Arizona is the fastest recovered state in the country thanks to our low tax and regulatory burden, and a pro-growth environment that keeps government out of the way and lets the free market do its thing. I have opposed special interests, voted NO on bad bills, and was recently the target of almost $100,000 of dishonest negative attacks from groups that were mad at me because I wouldn't vote how they tried to tell me to vote. Well I don't work for them, I work for YOU! I'm running as a team with Beverly Pingerelli and Frank Carroll and we will continue working hard on issues that matter, including water, public safety, health care and more! Thank you!

I believe problems are best solved by applying the principles of limited government and I know solutions must respect our Constitutionally guaranteed rights. As your Representative, these principles have guided my votes. In just my first term, I've won awards for my voting record -- improving accountability in educational spending and academic standards, promoting school choice and parental rights, defending the sanctity of life, vigorously fighting against governmental overreach and mandates, and strengthening the Second Amendment and religious freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution. I will continue to fight for secure elections, strong borders, water, quality schools, and full restoration of our medical and individual liberties. You get TWO votes for State Representative -- please cast them for BOTH me and David Livingston. We're running as a team with Frank Carroll, who is running for the State Senate. They share my passion and values and we have been an effective team at the State Capitol. I've been married 34 years, and my husband and I are blessed with two beautiful daughters. Arizona is our home, and we will continue the work of making it the best state in the country. I'd appreciate your vote. Thank you!

I am a doctor of chiropractic, living and working in Arizona for eight years already. I previously worked as a substitute teacher (Havasu SD), legal assistant, and technical support for military subcontracting companies. My family moved to Maricopa county in 2015, first living in South Scottsdale for one year, then relocating to Surprise/El Mirage. My goal is to represent the democratic party in legislative district number 29 this November. I would like to return civility and professionality to our government process in the state, which will benefit all residents. I have time to serve, as I am now semi-retired.

I've been in politics for many years, but the lockdowns, mandates, and shutting down of scientific debate during the Covid pandemic got me very involved in the fight for medical freedom and our rights. As I got more involved there were all kinds of issues that demanded attention, like border security, school choice, election integrity, protecting our police from liberal wingnuts, and more. I ask for your vote so I can go and provide a common-sense conservative voice for our district and its myriad of needs - from our military/veteran population, to our ranchers and farmers, to fast growing communities facing infrastructure challenges, etc. I'm running as a team with Austin Smith and Steve Montenegro and hope you will vote for all three of us so we can work together and produce real results for you. Thank you!

I was honored to serve you before in the Legislature where I led on tough issues like border security, ending affirmative action, constitutional carry, and passing record-breaking tax cuts. I had a perfect 100% pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-taxpayer voting record, winning awards like Champion of the Taxpayer and Friend of the Family. Back in the private sector, I have continued to serve as a Pastor, and am also working with national organizations that want to improve election integrity and ballot security efforts across the country. When these two State House seats opened up, I was asked to run by friends and neighbors who wanted someone they knew would work hard and keep his word. I'm running as a team with Janae Shamp (State Senate) and Austin Smith (also State House - you get TWO votes!) because we share common values and goals. We support our veterans, our police and first responders, our small businesses, and conservative principles like school choice, opposing CRT, enforcing our immigration laws, fighting inflation and high gas/fuel prices, and more. I'm blessed with an incredible wife and two wonderful girls, and our whole family thanks you for your prayers, support, and vote!

My first priority is to even the funding of public schools and charter school / for profit businesses. The public schools lose funding for every for profit school to the tune of $4,347.00. For profit schools make up for only 25% of schools but are funded at $11,000 for each student. Water conservation is a high priority and as a geographer it's one I'm trained to address. We need to cover the CAP canals to save 29sq miles of water one foot deep. As the water evaporates the remaining water becomes so salty that it's not drinkable. We need to build renewable energy stations to pump the water up hill some 1000 feet. Medical bankruptcy bills from a severe illness or injury get people evicted or foreclosed. They become homeless just because they got sick or injured. I propose a state grant from the state surplus and reforming the private prison industry. I'm a common sense person that breaks down problems down to the simplest terms. I don't like legislation that's overly complicated that creates loopholes for the wealthy. The legislature is made up of wealthy people looking out for themselves and not the everyday Janes and Joes.

I'm a 5th-generation Arizonan who grew up working in the agricultural industry, where I witnessed how devastating an out-of-control government can be. So, I became politically active and helped recruit thousands of college students from across the country, to become active themselves. I campaigned in the August primary on issues like election integrity, border security, school choice, tax cuts, health care freedom, Second Amendment rights, life, and liberty, as well as protecting Arizona's water future, our military bases like Luke AFB, and our senior population, to whom we owe a great deal. Voters responded affirmatively to my message, so now I ask you to vote for me in the general election so I can go to work on all of these issues. I'm an avid outdoorsman, amateur golfer, and active member of my family's church community. I'm running with Steve Montenegro for the House (you get TWO votes so you can vote for both of us) and Janae Shamp for the State Senate. We are running because we love our state and our country, and I ask for your vote!

I currently serve as the Majority Whip in the State Senate, where, alongside my rock-solid seatmate Leo Biasiucci, I have taken the lead on important issues like election integrity, ballot security, fighting illegal immigration, and protecting taxpayers. Thanks to good decisions, our state's budget is not only balanced, we have been producing large surpluses. Instead of spending that money like the establishment wants, we have paid off debts to save on future interest costs, and then we've given the extra revenues back to you in the form of tax cuts. In fact, just last year we passed the biggest tax cut in Arizona history! The left wants to make government bigger and the individual smaller, but we know that America is founded on ideals that are quite the opposite. I fight to maximize individual liberty and to keep government as small as possible. I was and will always be a U.S. Marine and I'm also involved in helping veterans and making Arizona an increasingly veteran-friendly state. Please contact me if I can be of service to you, thank you for the honor of representing you in the Legislature, and I ask for your vote for me and Leo. Thank you!

I've had the honor of being your State Representative since 2019, serving alongside my great teammates Senator Sonny Borrelli and Representative Regina Cobb. During my time at the Legislature, I've kept my promise to fight for the people of Arizona. I'm proud to share what I've accomplished: 1. My bill, HB2111, made Arizona a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary State! If Joe Biden tries to take away our guns, Arizona will tell him to pound sand! 2. My bill, HB2889, made Arizona the strictest in the nation for child sex crimes/human trafficking sentencing. We added mandatory sentences and life in prison for any repeat offender. 3. My bill, HB2107, made it illegal for the Government to shut down businesses during a pandemic. WalMart staying open while mom and pops being forced to close was wrong. Never again! 4. Veterans will now pay zero Arizona income tax on their pension! We also secured funding to build a 100 bed Veterans Home/Clinic in Mohave County. 5. We passed a bill requiring proof of citizenship before you can vote. I'm Pro-Veterans, Pro-Law Enforcement, Pro-Border Wall, Pro-Life, Pro-2nd Amendment, and I will always defend the Constitution! Thank You, God Bless You, and VOTE FOR LEO!

After serving my county and upholding the values of the Constitution for the majority of my adult life, I can no longer tolerate the government violating our rights, and the rights of our children. As a proven fighter and leader, I will support the rule of law. I watched a stolen election, un-constitutional COVID lockdowns, and personal freedom of movement limited with terms such as "essential worker". This should never happen in America! Our fight to take back the county starts at the State level with the 9th and 10th Amendment. The RINOs in DC have failed the people by not supporting President Trump when we had both chambers. It is imperative we remove all RINOs from office and electing new people, not political insiders working their way through the system aspiring for higher office and name recognition. The way forward will be the voice of the people from a fighter for the people.
