Jim Cleveland
State Senator - District 21
Republican
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!

Leadership, Experience, and Common Sense; I am honored to bring my skills and energy to the new Legislative District 21. It is an honor to take ideas from Southern Arizona to the State Senate because that is what Arizona needs; a little common sense and straight from the heart. I have served as an Arizona State Representative for LD 2 from 2013 to 2021. It was an honor to be elected in 2020 and serve as the State Senator for LD 2 since 2021. I am known for my work with the local stakeholders, school boards, and business partners to bring together successful opportunities for growth and education. I am delighted to advocate for programs that provide funding and sustainable solutions to assist our most vulnerable population. Let's work together to create opportunities and prosperity by supporting and encouraging public education and economic development. I will continue to champion protecting Arizona's unique environment and address our need for a sustainable water supply. Together, we have successfully brought the collective energy and leadership necessary to shape the future of our State. I humbly ask for your support to continue our excellent work.

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. I also went on to host free citizenship clinics, raise money for students DACA renewals and spent time overseas working in public health in Panama and Ghana. As a young Latina, my parents taught my siblings and I the value of public service. From the time I started at first grade at Liberty Elementary to when I graduated from Sunnyside High School, I knew working to make my community better mattered. And, as President of the Sunnyside Union School District School Board, I am honored and humbled to serve these schools so important to my own personal and professional journey. As LD-21's next State Representative, my top priorities will be: Restoring full funding for public schools. Rebuild Arizona's economy by investing in our small business community Invest in infrastructure and renewable energy resources. Preserve and protect our right to vote.

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.

In our lifetime, never has our state and nation's future depended on the outcome of an election My name is Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, and I am running for the Arizona House of Representatives in District 21. I serve in the State Senate after being appointed to fill a vacancy. In 2020, I was first elected to the State House to serve in District 10. Serving the public is my calling and vocation. As the wife of a public middle school teacher and mom of three children, education has always been a top priority. I spent my personal and professional life advocating for the needs of children in my community. Through it all, I saw how the legislature has failed Arizona families, especially our most vulnerable populations. I know how to help constituents access the services they need and overcome the challenges they face. With an eye to the future, I am committed to putting in place policies that create opportunities for Arizona children and families and safeguarding resources so that generations beyond will have what they need to succeed. I can promise you that I will serve with justice, compassion, and common sense.
