I'm proud to be your State Senator and never forget why I ran for office, or who I work for. 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!

State Representative - District 19

I am Sanda Clark. 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. If you have something that needs attention, please contact my office directly at [email protected] or call (602) 926-4852. For campaign questions, please contact me through my website at LupeDiazAZ.com. I will help keep Arizona the great State that it is. Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your vote.

Legislative District 19 needs a strong voice at the capital for Greater Arizona! I have the leadership skills and experience to continue to be that voice. JOBS and the Economic Stability of our state and local communities is a high priority. I believe in LIMITED GOVERNMENT, LOWER TAXES and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. I believe we have a duty and responsibility to SECURE OUR BORDERs and enforce our laws to protect the citizens of Arizona. Other important issues include the PROTECTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS and WATER RIGHTS. We need EDUCATION EXCELLENCE, ensuring taxpayer dollars make it to the classroom to help students, teachers and parents improve academic achievement. I will continue to fight for VETERANS ISSUES. I am PRO-BUSINESS, PRO-TAXPAYER, PRO-FAMILY and PRO-CONSTITUTION! I am a successful businesswoman. I am a Life Member of the NRA. As a recipient of Legislator of the Year from Rural Health Association and other similar awards from the National Association of Independent Business, and Arizona March of Dimes I will continue to WORK FOR YOU. Thank you for your support and I ask for your VOTE!
