https://www.martinquezada.com
My name is Martín Quezada and I am your Democratic candidate for Arizona State Treasurer. As an Arizona native, I'm proud to have spent my entire career fighting for the shared values that uplift our communities. I have been a champion for progressive change as an attorney, a public School Board Member, and State Senator. In those roles, I've realized that if we ever expect to advance policies in our state that reflect our values, we must first have a solid foundation of the effective management, investment and protection of our taxpayer dollars. Our shared values of healthcare for all, strong public education, and affordable housing start with how we manage and invest our taxpayer dollars. We have an opportunity to re-invent this office and change it from an administrative stepping stone to higher office into an office that seeks out ways to better serve the public through improving financial literacy, solving our housing crisis, and making our money work for us to protect our planet. Together we can build a foundation that helps all of us prosper. To learn more and get involved in this campaign, visit MartinQuezada.com
