Ken Bennett
State Senator - District 1
Republican
https://www.kenbennettforsenate.com/
Ken Bennett is a successful businessman and financial professional with a long history of public service in Arizona. He's a fifth generation Arizonan who grew up in Prescott and was CEO of his family business for 20+ years. Bennett, an Eagle Scout, later served on the Prescott City Council, then in the State Senate for eight years, the last four as Senate President. He was Arizona's 19th Secretary of State (2009 to 2014) overseeing 12 successful and secure state elections. He was elected again in 2022 to the Senate. Bennett and his wife, Jeanne, have three children and four grandchildren. Everyone claims to be a conservative who wants to make Arizona and America great again. But while my opponents have been talking about what they hope to do, I've actually been doing the work, right here in Yavapai County. Balanced budgets, historic tax cuts, more money for schools and public safety, the nation's best school choice and Second Amendment protections, fighting to secure our borders and end the Biden Border Crisis, and protecting the unborn and families in need. As a former Secretary of State, now Vice Chair of the Senate Elections Committee, I play a lead role in legislation to improve election security and integrity, increase transparency, and give voters elections they can trust. I fix bills that won't work and pass bills that do, like verifying that the number of eligible voters who cast ballots actually matches the number of ballots counted. I serve because we need EFFECTIVE conservatives in office. I'm running with experienced Representatives Selina Bliss and Quang Nguyen, very effective conservatives! I am not a politician looking for my next office - I am a small businessman who loves my community and state. I ask for your vote so I can keep fighting for you!

After serving 21 years first as a firefighter/paramedic, then for 18 years as a law enforcement officer. God built me with a heart for service, and in 2014 I was elected to the House of Representatives and served 8 years defending civil rights. My conservative values reputation, supported by a voting record, is evidence of my fidelity to the Constitutions of the United States and Arizona. I am pleased to be A+ rated by the NRA. I am running for State Senate because our borders have been breached, we must hold the executive branch accountable for failure to provide for the wellbeing of Arizonans. Our southern border is wide open, our cyber-border is regularly attacked, and there is a problem with our courts, a border that has separated the people from justice. Our law enforcement organizations need greater support. Elections belong to the People, not the government, but it seems that many elected officials and government bureaucrats have forgotten that. I've led the effort to audit election records just like we audit financial records. I've spoken up for disenfranchised voters and the rule of law. Consent of the governed goes with the right to inspect the results. I will ensure this right is promoted to the fullest extent possible. Every legal ballot should be counted, voter rolls must be cleaned up and those who cheat must face consequences for their acts. I propose legislation to ensure complete transparency of the vote-counting process and to make all documents public records that must be produced on demand by taxpayers. We are facing economic challenges today that will only get worse with the current state and federal administrations.

I will strengthening democratic institutions and individual freedoms- traditional public schools, voter rights, women's reproductive rights - and creating an economy that works for all citizens. The disinvestment of our schools, which has placed them near the bottom 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 for schools most in need (poverty/opportunity weight).  • Funding that solves the fiscal cliff looming ahead of us when the federal COVID relief funds dry up in 2024. Address the triggers in Prop 123 as well.  • A long-term fix for the Aggregate Expenditure Limit.  • A significant investment for special education.  • Funding for full day kindergarten  • A solution that raises teacher pay to a competitive level. Vouchers/Empowerment Scholarship Accounts rolled back and regulated. Universal voting rights protected. A progressive tax structure must be created to prevent structural deficits and balance the tax burden more fairly. Good governance begins with dignity, liberty, and fiscal responsibility.

Steve Zipperman, a dedicated America First Constitutional Conservative, has been teaching the US Constitution along with his wife Sharon for five years. He firmly believes in the foundational role of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in America's successes. A former U.S. Army enlistee, stationed at Walter Reed, Steve passionately supports veterans. He took a solemn oath to defend the Constitution, a commitment he upholds every day. Steve is a retired small businessman with academic achievements in Zoology, Business Administration, and Law, who brings strong negotiation skills and legal acumen to his unwavering dedication to serving "We the People" and preserving citizens' freedoms. Less Government, Lower Taxes and Fiscal Responsibility are the answers to a sound economy and private sector growth. We need to return to what our Founding Fathers intended when they wrote our Constitution. Our leaders need to return to traditional American values including morality, honesty and integrity in government. I am not a professional politician. As a Veteran, the 2nd Amendment is very important to me so I will never vote for Red Flag laws. I do not take money from lobbyists, because I don't owe any political favors to anyone and my votes are not for sale. My campaign is funded by donations from people like you. We need a strong border and election reforms including the elimination of tabulation machines and in precinct voting. The rule of law is very important to me. Empowerment Scholarship Accounts are a blessing, and I will work to expand that program, if possible. "We the People" are the most important words in the US Constitution. Elected officials must listen to the people, who provide the power to government by consent of the governed.

Currently completing my first term in the Arizona State House of Representatives. Have lived in Legislative District 1 since 1971 and am engaged in a variety of 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 Armed Women of America, and the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue. I am running for re-election because of a deep respect for our rich history and am dedicated to protecting and strengthening the district I serve and Arizona. Now finishing my first term in office, I am happy to report I've kept my promises and built a conservative record on the issues that matter most. Working with Representative Quang Nguyen and Senator Ken Bennett, I prioritized efforts to boost our economy and fight inflation, secure our border and stop the open border crisis, and restore integrity to our election process. I voted to defend our 2nd Amendment rights, protect life, and look after both our veterans and first responders. I am also using my background as a nurse and educator to advance progress for our schools, universities, and health care system. I am fighting to protect your medical freedom rights and to prevent future attempts at government mandates. I've lived in this District since 1971 and have been involved with a variety of political, charitable, and civic organizations including the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue. I'm committed to public service and am grateful for the trust you have shown me. You have TWO VOTES FOR STATE HOUSE and I hope I can count on you to cast one vote for me so I can return to work alongside Quang Nguyen to keep Arizona great! Thank you!

Quang Nguyen
State Representative - District 1
Republican
https://quangforarizona.com
Quang was rescued from Vietnam by the US military just one week before Saigon fell. It took months to be reunited with his family, but Quang's American dream had begun. Working jobs, he taught himself English, graduated high school, then from Long Beach State, before going to work for Northrop Corporation on the F-20 and F-18 programs. In 1993, a wonderful woman, Mai, said  "Yes " and they began their life together. They moved to Arizona in 2004 with their two kids, Quang later started his own business, and he was elected to the State House just a few years ago. I ran for office as a Constitutional Conservative and thanks to your votes I went to the State Capitol and KEPT MY WORD! I continue to champion real election integrity measures, secure borders (finish that wall), criminalizing fentanyl dealers, low taxes, medical freedom, safe neighborhoods, improved highways and transportation (including upgrades to I-17), long-term water security, and personal liberty. I have a 100% pro-gun, pro-Constitution, pro-life, pro-school choice, and pro-Arizona voting record. I've worked closely with Representative Selina Bliss and Senator Ken Bennett on scores of important bills and our district is home to one of Arizona's most reliably conservative group of legislators. Yet once again the powers that be are throwing another primary challenger at us. I say  "Bring it on! " because we're going to keep voting for liberty and what is right, no matter how much money they throw at us. You know me, and you know the love I have for 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 State House votes. On behalf of my wonderful wife and kids, THANK YOU! And may God continue to bless America.

State Representative - District 1

I am dedicated to culture serving the community. I grew up in Southwestern Pennsylvania, graduated college in Ohio, and lived abroad studying language and theater in Berlin, Germany and Holstebro, Denmark. After moving to Prescott, Arizona three decades ago I founded The Carpetbag Brigade Physical Theater Company and the Tsunami on the Square performing arts festival. As the creative and communications leader of an internationally touring theater company I facilitated cross-cultural exchanges and global seminars, I led teams to success in complex, demanding environments with tight deadlines and competing priorities. I bring people together through events and stories. I am an actor and director who is passionate about culture serving community. I am a son of the American Revolution - with deep roots in Pennsylvania. I came to Arizona three decades ago as a Rust Belt refugee with Appalachian values: invest in the community, help others, question authority. My favorite founding father said,  "It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority. " I admired Benjamin Franklin for that quote and for advocating to abolish slavery in our original constitution. My alma mater, Antioch College had the motto,  "Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity ". Winning victories for humanity and questioning authority are the values that underpin my work in the arts, where I believe it is necessary to be realistic ask for the impossible, and gently push people to new possibilities. My performance work inspires productive discussions and creates experiences and forums to engage, build, and sustain community. Our legislature can be improved by learning to function like an ensemble theater with critical thinking and skillful listening. I want to renew the art of dialogue in our legislature and improve our quality of life. I look forward to serving you.

I am the youngest of 11 and grew up in Minneapolis in a working-class Catholic neighborhood. I graduated from the University of Minnesota, where I studied Economics and Spanish. I joined the Navy after college. After my Naval service, I attended Albany Law School. I have represented healthcare providers for over 25 years. My husband and I chose to live in Arizona because of its natural beauty and its commitment to individual liberty. I am running to represent all residents of our district, not just those who agree with me. We are one community and we need legislators who will provide solutions to our problems, not ones who seek to divide us. We all agree we need access to affordable healthcare. Arizona has a shortage of primary care practitioners. In Yavapai County, there is only one primary care physician for about 1700 residents, many who have high health care needs. Because of the shortage of practitioners, too many residents in our District travel long distances for care. We need representatives who can effectively address this shortage so we can access healthcare when we need it. I understand the issues providers face and what policies can be adopted to help them help us. We can all agree our healthcare system must include mental health care resources to address the opioid overdose crisis and the epidemic of loneliness in our retirement communities. Most of us agree women should have the right to make their own decisions about whether they are willing and able to continue a pregnancy. I support a women's right to choose and the Arizona Abortion Access Act.

Republican
https://www.WildmanForStateHouseDistrict1.com
Shawn Dell Wildman's life in Phoenix began in 1981 soon after marrying her high school sweetheart and Arizona native, in her home state of Texas. Family connection inspired moving to Yavapai County in 1994 where they continued homeschooling their children, hold a Federal Firearms License in support of the 2nd Amendment, and own/operate Coffee Gram, a local print publication. Shawn Dell and her husband celebrate 42 years of marriage and their adult children. They still enjoy working together at Coffee Gram, their small business of 20+ years providing community support to other small businesses through advertising and print work. Shawn Dell Wildman was born and raised in Texas. Her enlisted father and hard-working mother's authentic love of country and cherishing of traditional American values formed the framework for her endearment of freedom's special way of life. She grew to understand freedom's way of life has been unyieldingly won for we, her stewards. Shawn Dell attended private and public schools benefiting from both opportunities. She graduated salutatorian then launched into college as the first female admitted to an all-male institution but the urgent need to serve a family member struggling with mental illness became her higher priority. Attaining respectful effective support for the mentally ill while preserving their Constitutional rights remains challenging. Her Veteran dad taught Shawn Dell the value of protecting our 1st Amendment for everyone while she watched her beautiful American flag burning in American streets on the nightly news during the 1960s. He explained the 1st Amendment protected their right to free speech, as it does ours, because  "if free speech is taken from them, soon ours would be taken from us. " Our hard-won States rights are eroding with unabated federal over-reach. Let's express honor and gratitude to our Veterans. They are family. They are over-due.

A teacher for 27 years at Cactus and Greenway High Schools,a community leader, co-founder of Theater Works, church board member, and grassroots organizer. She was moved to run for office when she learned that almost 25% of Arizona students had no permanent, qualified teacher.

I know and share the priorities of our district. This is my home. I was deeply honored to be elected as your State Representative in 2020. I've continued to listen and work together to address the issues that are important to you and your family. In my first term, I directed federal dollars to preschool programs for at-risk children and families and sponsored a bi-partisan adult education bill to allow Arizonans to lift themselves out of poverty, and provide employers with an educated workforce. This past session, I sponsored bills to increase salaries for all educators without raising a penny in taxes, increase the supply of school counselors, and address student and community safety. I've sponsored legislation to improve healthcare by making genetic testing available to help prevent cancer and by capping prescription drug prices. Lastly, I have worked to address the housing and homelessness crisis by prioritizing investments in affordable and emergency housing, and protecting condo owners from losing their homes to out-of-state corporations. As someone who shares your priorities, I will always put people first, not politics.

Stephanie was raised in Oregon, where her teachers instilled in her a passion for education. In 2014, she made Arizona home, and the mother of two began teaching first graders in the Deer Valley School District. Teaching was both rewarding and challenging, and reaffirmed her belief in the power of education to transform lives. As a strong advocate for her community, her dedication continues while she champions for students as a Deer Valley Governing Board Member. Now it is time to do more for her district and Stephanie would be honored to represent the residents of LD2 in the state legislature. I am a mom, teacher, volunteer, and Deer Valley Unified School District governing board member.

After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Communication from Portland State University, I ventured into the professional world, seeking meaning and a way to contribute to my community. I began teaching in public education after graduating from Grand Canyon University with my Masters in Early Childhood Education. Working with first graders was rewarding and challenging, and it reaffirmed my belief in the power of education to transform lives. I saw firsthand the positive impact of diverse teaching methods, dedicated staff, and engaged parents. As a mother and a member of this community, I understand the challenges and aspirations of families in our district. I understand the importance of quality public education, water and environmental challenges, the Phoenix housing crisis and reproductive freedom. These are not partisan issues; they are issues that affect us all, regardless of our political affiliation.

I'm running for a third term because I have played a big part in Arizona's booming economy and there's more for me to do as your state representative. I believe that the best way to a great society is the availability of amazing jobs and salaries for Arizonans. As House Commerce chair I have focused on policies to increase economic opportunity for you and your family, while standing up for common-sense values important to everyday Arizonans. I've added five state international trade offices to entice big international companies to relocate here, which increases Arizona's spotlight on the world stage. I work in a bipartisan manner and have had 11 bills signed into law under a Democrat governor. My track record is a good one for our community and I'd like to keep that momentum going. I'd be honored to have your vote this fall.

I was born in England. There, I received degrees in Math and Control Engineering. I began working for Honeywell, who, in 1975, moved me from England to Arizona. In 1986 I became a US Citizen. Thirty years as an Engineering Manager with Honeywell honed my leadership and negotiating skills. In my spare time I was involved in the local soccer scene. I promoted girls' soccer throughout the valley, focusing on teamwork skills. From 2001 - 2022, my wife and I started and ran a wine distributorship. My life experiences will help me be an effective Legislator. I support protecting women's reproductive rights. Government is responsible for protecting a woman's right to receive the medical care that she chooses; I will work to ensure that right. We need to protect our democracy. A democracy cannot exist without free and fair elections. Maricopa County's elections system is bullet proof. I will work to keep it that way and to ensure that every eligible voter can continue to exercise their right to vote. Education is our best investment in the future. Today's children will be our future leaders, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, and taxpayers and will increase our property values. Government is responsible for providing an excellent education for all our children. I will work to protect our public schools. We need competitive salaries to recruit and retain the best teachers and support personnel. I will work to limit voucher funding and support local bond elections.

Alexander Kolodin is a civil and constitutional attorney who has won a variety of high-profile victories for conservatives in the courtroom. In his first term, he brought his legal expertise to the state house, sponsoring successful legislation to improve the security of Arizona's election system, protect civil liberties, and safeguard Arizona's water supply. He lives in Scottsdale with his wife (a teacher at Basis Scottsdale) and their two children. Neither of us knew that we'd be dealing with a Democrat in the Governor's office when you elected me to deliver on a bold conservative agenda. But you didn't hire the kind of guy who makes excuses. So, instead, I found ways to get results. Whether it was helping deliver the first tax rebate in decades, getting major health freedom wins signed into law, attaching common-sense measures to secure our elections to must-pass legislation, or rolling up my sleeves to solve a water crisis in Rio Verde, we proved that hard work and creativity can advance Republican principles even in a challenging partisan environment. I'm running for re-election because my kids deserve to grow up in the Arizona I know and love. One where taxes and regulation are low, where parents, not bureaucrats, control their children's education and where the government exists to guard your freedoms, not take them away. There's still a lot more work to do and I'm not done fighting for you yet!

I am a registered Arizona attorney and a 20 year veteran as an officer of the Arizona Department of Corrections where I came to believe our prison system should not imprison persons convicted of purely fiscal offenses. Such offenders should pay restitution to their victims and a fine to the State, but never go to a prison.

Christine Marsh
State Senator - District 4
Democratic
https://www.christineportermarsh.com/
I'm a proud Phoenician, graduate of Arizona public schools, and State Senator. I raised my sons and foster children in LD4, and I'm in my fourth decade teaching. In 2016, I was Arizona's Teacher of the Year. Through that experience, I traversed Arizona and saw firsthand the issues public schools face. What motivates me is the need for more balance in the legislature. One-party rule has stifled Arizona and harmed vulnerable populations. I've seen great bills fail without a hearing and radical legislation sail through our legislature. We need a new majority so better ideas can get a fair shot. I was first elected to the State Senate in 2020; I ran because I knew I could be a voice for Arizona's public-school students, teachers, and staff. As an English teacher with as many as 44 students in a class, I understood what it meant to be underfunded and understaffed-and I still do. I still teach part-time, and that is incredibly important to my work at the Capitol. Gimmicks like one-time bonuses or grant-funded counselors are just that: gimmicks; and they won't solve our teacher shortage, nor reduce class sizes. I have also worked to mitigate the loss of life due to Arizona's drug crisis-but we still have so far to go both there and on many other issues. That is why I am running for a third term. While I currently serve on the Transportation and Education Committees, I have a record of supporting reproductive rights, gun safety, voter protection, education, infrastructure, clean air, and safe water. I have one of the senate's most moderate voting records and the resolve to work with anyone with good ideas to solve the many challenges we face.

Kelli Butler grew up in Arizona, within the boundaries of LD4. She served three terms in the State House, from 2017-2022. She was the ranking member on both Health and Human Services and Appropriations, and also served on Government and Elections, Commerce, and Banking and Insurance committees.

Through her experiences with their neighborhood public schools, Kelli became engaged in state politics as an advocate for students and teachers, affordable healthcare, reproductive rights, and strengthening the state's economy. I grew up in Arizona, within the boundaries of LD4. My husband, Ben, and I are small business owners and parents of two adult sons. I previously served in the State House from 2017-2022. A valuable experience came from my early work on the Commerce Committee-my colleagues and I came to meetings prepared to discuss the merits of each bill. Instead, we were told we asked too many questions and quickly learned that minority members' bills are rarely allowed to move through the legislative process. That needs to change. I am running again to be part of that change. We know public schools are underfunded, but universal vouchers send tax dollars to private schools with no accountability; 95% of us vote by mail yet efforts continue to restrict early voting; most of us support expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare, yet attacks on women's reproductive rights seem to be the priority. With a new majority, those priorities will change. Instead of divisive rhetoric, let's focus on Arizona's future. We must strengthen our public schools-Pre-K through higher ed-to improve our workforce and economy, address complex public safety and public health issues, and protect our environment and natural resources.

Pamela Carter is a 4th generation native Arizonan who grew up in this community. She is a strong advocate for people, relationships, and families. Her volunteer work includes serving on the Board of Directors for Help4Kidz, a non-profit that works with at-risk youth and families. With a master's degree in Communications and Biblical Studies, Pamela's past business experience includes ownership and management of a sports medicine and training facility (one of the largest in the nation) utilized by many - including professional athletes, national teams and celebrities. Pamela will bring her strong business acumen and problem solving to the Legislature. Partisan political games are damaging our state - I'm running to stop them. I will keep my word, work across the aisle to champion solutions when I can, and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I'll focus on issues you tell me matter most: Border security, public safety, fighting inflation and high prices, supporting school choice and higher pay for teachers, securing our elections so every voter, regardless of party, can trust the results, and protecting our long-term water future. I'm a fourth-generation Arizonan, my great-grandfather immigrated legally from Mexico to work in the copper mines in the Globe area. My father was in the Air Force and became a real estate broker and business owner here in Phoenix, and I was a business owner of the largest sports medicine and weight training facilities in the nation, training a variety of NFL athletes, collegiate football players, celebrities and more. From those deep roots come my Arizona values and my lifelong commitment to our great state. If you want quality schools, safe neighborhoods, and a strong economy, I ask for one of your two votes for State Representative. Thank you!

Karen Gresham
State Representative - District 4
Democratic
https://www.karenforaz.com
I'm a public school parent and Phoenix native. I attended Arizona public schools and graduated Summa Cum Laude from ASU. After working as a CPA auditing corporations, nonprofits, and utilities, I retired from accounting to raise my three sons. Since then, I've volunteered in the classroom, on PTO boards, for pro-public education candidates, and for many charitable organizations. I now serve as the Governing Board President for the Madison Elementary School Board. I was also second runner-up for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Woman of the Year in 2019, and later served as the event chair and on the leadership team. When I first started serving on my local PTO and saw their budget, I saw that almost all our fundraising went to making sure our school had an aide. Questions started forming: Why are our schools underfunded enough that the community has to come together just so our school can have a teachers' aide? What happens in districts where communities may not have the money to support that? Why are our kids-and our teachers-not treated as the priority they should be by our state? I'm running to make sure that our kids are a priority: so that their schools are funded robustly and equitably, they have access to the healthcare they need, and they live in safe communities. It's time for a new legislative majority with new priorities, and I hope I can count on your vote to build that new majority.

I taught in the Phoenix Union High School District for 34 years and have served on the PUHSD Governing Board since 2008. I have served in the state legislature for 32 years. I live in Phoenix where I raised two children and have six grandchildren. It would be my honor to continue to serve as the Arizona State Senator for LD 5. I want to continue serving in the legislature because I want to secure our elections and protect voting rights, protect reproductive rights and reform the out-of-control ESA vouchers that are draining funding from our public schools. During my time at the legislature, I've secured $150 million for the Housing Trust Fund to address homelessness and the housing crisis. I've increased funding for veteran's services. I sponsored a bill that would require schools to use textbooks that don't discriminate based on sex, sexual orientation, disabilities, race and religion. I've also increased the Kinship Foster Care monthly stipend from $75 to $300. This year I put forth a bill to raise it to $600. Throughout my career as a lawmaker, I have championed our public schools and universities, advocated on behalf of our most vulnerable communities, and worked with my colleagues to find pragmatic solutions to the challenges confronting our state. If re-elected, you can count on me to continue making Arizona a place where everyone can thrive.

I spent eight years as a combat medic in the Army. Now, I want to serve the people of Arizona and keep the Grand Canyon State free and prosperous as it has stood all 33 years of my life. I chose to serve my country in the Army because I owe my life to this country. In 1973, my father immigrated from Mexico, became a legal permanent resident of America and hasn't looked back. He instilled in me a love for this country like no other. The debt I owe this country was partially paid back when I served for eight years as a combat medic in the Army. Now, I want to serve my new home state. My entire life I've watched Arizona exemplify those American values which we all hold dear and I want to keep Arizona a free and prosperous state. I believe in the Constitution. I studied journalism because I believe in the right to speak freely against the government. I believe in the right to bear arms as a preventive measure against a tyrannical government. I believe in the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the States respectively. I believe in Arizona.

Aaron Márquez - a veteran of multiple political campaigns and the United States Army - grew up in Arizona, served his country through two deployments to Afghanistan, and has fought for progressive change in Arizona nationwide. In 2020, voters elected Aaron to the at-large seat of the Phoenix Union High School District Governing Board, where he has been fighting for progressive change to improve local public schools for our students and their families. In the State House, Aaron will fight to repeal universal vouchers for private schools, draining funding from our public school districts, and he will fight to protect abortion rights. In the State House, I will fight alongside Governor Hobbs to repeal universal vouchers for private schools, draining funding from our public school districts, and I will fight to protect abortion rights. In Democratic majority districts like District 5 in Central Phoenix, we need to increase voter turnout, especially Latino voter turnout. We must support Democratic candidates in swing districts like Paradise Valley, Chandler, and North Phoenix. We cannot bring real change to Arizona without giving Governor Hobbs a Democratic majority in the state legislature. As the Democratic nominee for District 5, I will continue campaigning after the July 30th Democratic Primary to ensure we stop Donald Trump, defeat Kari Lake, and flip the state legislature. As an Army veteran, I swore an oath to defend our democracy. I know how much of a threat Donald Trump poses to the future of our democracy. We cannot debate education policy or abortion policy if we end up with an authoritarian in the White House. We need to fight for Joe Biden and Ruben Gallego in November. I will bring my experience from the school board, the Army, and as a dad to fight for a better Arizona in the state legislature.

I currently work at concessions at the Petrified Forest National Park. Since I was a child, I've had an interest in politics. In 1988 I attended the Republican State Convention in Tacoma Washington. At that time, I wanted to run for office, but raising a family took precedence. I believe God and Family should be first in every decision we make. Now that my children are grown, and it's just my wife and I, she encouraged me to run for office, since LD6 needs Republican representation. My issues are listed below. I would like to promote trade schools in the region. We need to supply the tools for the people so the people could build stronger communities.

A lifelong Arizonan who owns and operates the DC Cattle Company. He ran for the Legislature to ensure rural Arizona would have a strong voice. He's a leader on issues related to ranching, agriculture, rural issues, water, and education, he has been particularly effective on transportation and infrastructure issues, and he has brought increased funding for roads and bridges to our part of the state. David has been married to Diana since 2000 and they have two children. He is active in his community and makes time to cheer on the Arizona Cardinals and Diamondbacks. Wendy Rogers (show horse) admits she lives in a huge house in the East Valley of Maricopa County, while claiming to live in a single-wide trailer in Flagstaff, just so she can be a State Senator and run millions of campaign dollars through a family firm. Then she spends her days killing Republican bills and her nights on social media acting like a MAGA warrior. Sadly, it's a grift, and Arizona pays the price. I'm a work horse whose rural roots are deep and real. I'm a rancher and state leader on issues related to water, agriculture, ranching, and more. My record is 100% pro-Taxpayer, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-Life, and pro-Constitution. I've championed real election integrity measures, pushed to secure our borders and enforce our laws, and brought funding to our district to improve our roads, highways and bridges. Payson, Globe, Florence, Williams, Heber, Show Low, Snowflake or Pinetop-Lakeside aren't just places on a map, they're my towns and people. I support President Trump's fight against the DC swamp and ran the bill to Term Limit Congress, whiles Wendy Rogers protected the swamp, opposed us, and voted NO. If you value results over phony rhetoric, please vote David Cook. Thank you!

I was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona and moved to Flagstaff six years ago to attend NAU. I fell in love with the Northern Arizona community, landscape, and people, so I made the decision to settle down here after I graduated! I am the current Northern Regional Director for the Arizona Students' Association, where I spend my days registering and encouraging college students to vote, advocating at the state legislature for issues like abortion access and free higher education, and training the next generation of student leaders. I was also the campaign manager for Kyle Nitschke, who ran for State Senate in 2022. I got involved in politics because I wanted to do something with all of the things my generation has lived through. I was two years old when 9/11 happened, 9 when President Obama was elected, 17 when Trump became President. I am the child of educators who has seen firsthand the need in this state for public education funding and support for our teachers and students. I am a queer 24-year-old who has been to more protests than anyone their age should have to in order to fight for their right to exist. I am a person who can get pregnant who was forced to watch as the Supreme Court took away the right to our bodies. As a woman, a young person, and a queer person, I want others like me to know that our dread over the world is valid, but it doesn't have to keep us from using our voices. It doesn't have to stop us from believing that we can change this state for the better, that Arizona can and will serve all of its people with compassion, justice, and equality.

In 2023 he was recognized by the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. Walt is the first African American Republican elected to state office in Arizona in 2018. He was reelected in 2020 and served as the chair of the Arizona Judiciary Committee. His legislative impact was recognized by CPAC and Free Enterprise, and others. He has also built a successful business career. You get TWO VOTES for State Representative, please vote for BOTH Walt Blackman & David Marshall. David and I have served you in office, so you know we don't just campaign as conservatives, we vote like conservatives. Our opponents are spending a small fortune running campaigns trying to hide their record. Fillmore AND Slaton championed the so-called Patriot Party that was funded by never-Trumper Daniel McCarthy, and both have targeted conservative Republicans for attacks. With a narrow one-vote margin in the State House we can't afford to lose a single lawmaker if we want to pass good election integrity or border security bills. And the list of issues where we disagree is long and important. One great example is Fillmore worked with Democrats to kill Term Limits for Congress and Slaton refuses to support them. David and I stand with President Trump, Governor DeSantis, and the Republican National Platform in support of Congressional Term Limits. Medical liberty, religious liberty, our 2 nd Amendment rights, school choice, water and roads and bridges, and so much more is at stake. I'm a proud combat veteran who believes in the greatness of America, if we fight to defend it. We ask for your vote!

Democratic
https://www.kevinchiqueteforaz.com/
As a diesel-electric mechanic and union leader in the heart of Arizona's Copper Corridor, I have developed strong leadership and negotiating skills. After high school, I completed a rigorous four-year apprenticeship. I understand and value vocational education. My family keeps me grounded in the realities of growing up and living in rural areas. We should be able to depend on quality schools that deliver a good education and prepare students for good jobs that provide fair wages and decent benefits. To thrive, our rural communities and small towns need affordable housing and accessible healthcare. I am a hardworking, blue-collar guy from a beautiful rural part of Arizona. Our local economies are rooted in mining and ranching. Some areas have been encouraging tourism and outdoor recreation, developing into 55+ communities, and providing support for chip manufacturing. While mining is not appropriate in all locations, such as the protected areas along the Grand Canyon, mining and advanced technology play a crucial role in transitioning to a green energy economy. I am committed to ensuring that mines operate safely and in compliance with environmental standards. Northern Arizona University, our community colleges, and public schools are vital to ensure a competitive workforce and healthy economy. Arizona's runaway school voucher expansion disproportionately harms our small rural schools. Strong schools and community revitalization programs, including broadband expansion, are necessary if young people are to make their homes in the communities where they grow up. Between Arizona's near-total abortion ban and the lack of rural healthcare services generally, women's lives are at risk. I support a woman's right to choose and will work to ensure that people can access the healthcare they need. As your representative, I will bring the voice of rural communities to the Legislature.

Strong on Border Security, Election Integrity along with School Choice and LIBERTY. In this crowded field of six candidates, I offer uncompromising constitutional conservatism. I am not a career politician. I will not make deals with elitists, RINOs, or the Democrats to further my personal aspirations. Compromise translates to  "DEFEAT! " There are tools available that must be used to defeat Hobbs and the Democrats. I will use these resources that others have ignored. Our representatives must stand for We the People. We the People are pissed! Our Republic is on a precipice. This may be our last opportunity to peacefully return to American Exceptionalism. I can either complain and watch our beloved Arizona continue to slide into liberalism or I can stand and fight. I choose to fight. I would be honored to receive your vote. God Bless America.

Nancy Hartl
State Representative - District 7
Democratic
https://nancy.hartl4ld7.com/home
I grew up in Minot, a small city in north-central North Dakota. Despite a chaotic home environment, through determination and hard work, I earned a Bachelor of Arts (psychology) and a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (nursing). I served proudly in the US Air Force, Nurse Corps, for 20 years, retiring with an honorable discharge as a Major. Between my military service and later employment at America's largest HMO and a low-income women's clinic, I will bring 37 years of medical experience, primarily as a women's health nurse practitioner, to the Legislature. As an American, a retired women's health nurse practitioner, and a retired US Air Force Major, I'm distressed to find myself living in a crucible of hate, division, and attempts to extinguish basic human and civil rights. It is inconsistent with our Constitution! Extremism is not the solution! As your next Arizona State Representative, I will bring my prior military and medical leadership skills to restoring, retaining, and ratifying our rights. I sincerely support individual's rights regarding privacy, bodily autonomy, relationships, reading material, and choice to worship or not. Protecting our rights relies on our ability to vote. I will be steadfast in support of Early Voting! I firmly believe that all issues are important, from disintegrating roadways to contaminated air and water to a crumbling democracy. Utilizing my strong history of leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork, my legislative focus will be in five areas: Empowerment (women's privacy and autonomy, public health, social services, and veterans' services), Environment (protection of land, water, and air), Economy (training, good jobs, and cost-effective humane border security), Education (support public schools, stop voucher gifts to the rich, pay teachers well), and Early Voting (protect, defend, and improve our already free fair election system).

David Marshall Sr.
State Representative - District 7
Republican
https://www.marshall.republican
Born in Maryland to a military family (USMC), I was raised primarily in California, then joined the US Air Force after graduating high school. After my service I joined the Santa Ana Police Department, serving primarily in Narcotics and Gang Suppression Details. I earned promotion to Corporal, became a Field Training Officer, and eventually retired in 1996. My family and I moved to Snowflake, purchased a property, and ran a safehouse for battered women. We ran this Christ-centered ministry for 7 years. In 2005, I was ordained as a pastor of Calvary Chapel Snowflake, a position I proudly fulfill today. You get TWO VOTES for State Representative, please vote for BOTH Walt Blackman & David Marshall. Take comfort in our proven conservative records, because we have served in the legislature and earned awards and top marks from conservative groups. Our district is so Republican that the primary essentially decides it all, which is why we have such strange candidates running. Our main opponents are leaders of the so-called  "Arizona Patriot Party " which regularly attacks Republicans and our conservative beliefs. When they failed to get their party on the ballot, suddenly they were Republicans again, running for office, but their unethical behavior should not be dismissed. Walt and I are Christian Constitutionalist Conservatives dedicated to secure elections, winning the fight against Joe Biden and his open border policies, protecting rural Arizona's water, meeting our infrastructure needs, ensuring quality education opportunities, safeguarding our constitutional liberties and 2nd Amendment rights, and so much more. Our district rejected John Fillmore when they voted him out in 2022, and his ugly response was to attack Republicans for our shared beliefs and values. The Republican Party is better than that. We are real America First candidates you can be proud to support.

Our children cannot grow up in a state where their freedoms are restricted and their lives endangered.  • Protect Public Education: Let's roll back ESA vouchers that are bankrupting our treasury and diverting funds from our public schools.  • Ensure Protections for Workers: I'll sponsor worker-friendly legislation, including prevailing wages and Project Labor Agreements.  • Strengthen Voting Rights: We must reverse legislation that restricts citizen ballot initiatives.  • Act on the Housing Crisis: We must strive to fund cities and affordable-housing developers to build housing and create healthy communities.

Juan is a first-generation Chicano born in Arizona. He received his B.A. and MPA from ASU. Before getting elected he worked as a community organizer and non-profit leader bringing together the community while conducting research and developing policy strategies and priorities with the community to lead effective human services programs. He is Assistant Minority Leader for the Senate Democratic Caucus, Ranking Democrat on the Senate Government Committee, and former Arizona Legislative Latino Caucus chair. Outside the legislature, Juan is a father to two beautiful daughters 2 years old and under. Last year, I became a father to my second daughter. As I look into my daughter's eyes, I am overwhelmed with happiness and feel a great sense of responsibility. I want to give them a better life than I could have imagined. My story begins in the West Valley in a first-generation Chicano family. I grew up in a trailer park with domestic violence. My family got by with predatory loans while we juggled final late notices. I couldn't imagine a future beyond getting through to the next month. But when my family got connected to our community with resources and opportunities, our whole lives changed and I began to see a better future for my family. We benefited from workforce development training so my mother could move from food stamps and customer service jobs into working for the state with benefits. ChildCare assistance, AHCCCS, and KidsCare allowed us to move out of poverty and into our first home. I know firsthand that public investment is key to an individual's success. These experiences instilled a passion in me for helping those in need across the spectrum of our diverse society, a passion that remains with me to this day.

In her many years as an ER nurse, she saw firsthand the impact that insurance status, housing, food insecurity, and other disparities have on Arizona's communities. A nurse at heart, Eva advocates for a better, more inclusive Arizona that works for everyone. Eva works on the front lines of the fentanyl crisis as a nurse practitioner in addiction medicine. Her priorities include access to high quality healthcare, fair wages, and affordable housing. I am a lifelong Arizonan, a mother of two, and a nurse practitioner. I am running for re-election to help advocate for the fundamental needs of everyday Arizonans. I support increased investment in public schools so that our children have equal access to high-quality education and well-qualified teachers. Families should not go bankrupt over medical bills and I will help create a system that does not leave children, aging adults, or the poor behind. Lastly, I believe we must restore and protect access to abortion. As a state legislator, I will continue to work for Arizonans to have equal access to their voting power, including the option to vote by mail, while also working hard to maintain the integrity and security of our elections. I believe in safe and secure borders as well as respect and appreciation for our immigrant communities. I support efforts to create opportunities for more affordable housing. As a senator in a mixed district, I know we need balance and collaboration in the legislature and representatives who will be loyal to the people of Arizona over political parties or special interests. Let's work together to make Arizona the best it can be.

As a father and public charter school board member, I will defend the rights of parents to make decisions about their children's education. We must secure our border, support our Veterans, and defend our 1st and 2nd Amendments. I am proud to be a God-loving, America-first conservative who believes in hard work and personal responsibility. My wife, Heather, and I have been married for 24 years and we want to raise our two daughters in a safe, affordable, and free Arizona. Two years ago, I chose to run for office because our State Senator was not upholding our values. I beat the incumbent Senator with nearly twice as many votes in the Republican primary.

As a 4th generational Mesa, Arizonan, my life is rooted in God, family, and the principles of integrity and hard work. My path at ASU transitioned to a role in the Arizona House of Representatives, where I observed the impactful strategies of business and legal professionals. This experience led me to a legal career, where for nearly a decade, I've safeguarded individual and entrepreneur's rights. My wife's academic pursuits overseas further deepened my love for our heritage. I hope to apply my legal expertise and problem-solving skills to the Legislature, aiming for common sense, collaborative solutions to brighten Arizona's future. As a common-sense Republican, I believe in a balanced approach to governance that prioritizes both fiscal responsibility and collaborative solutions. Our party values individual freedom, free-market principles and limited government intervention while also recognizing the importance of addressing societal challenges in a pragmatic and compassionate manner. Economically, I would back policies that promote growth and job creation through lower taxes, reduced regulation, and support for small businesses. We must grow our economy to provide opportunities for upward mobility while maintaining fiscal discipline. On core Arizona issues, I would advocate for educating all students by supporting school choice, traditional public schools and home-schooled children. I would back our first responders and while balancing kindness for our vulnerable communities, and promote fairness and justice within our society. This includes supporting initiatives that advance affordable housing, reducing inflation, and being good stewards of our water and environment, all while respecting individual liberties and promoting personal responsibility. As a common-sense advocate within the Republican Party, I strive for bipartisan collaboration for pragmatic solutions that benefit the state as a whole. By embracing a thoughtful and inclusive approach, we can bridge divides, uphold Arizonan values, and ensure a prosperous future for many generations to come.

Democratic
https://sethblattman.com/
Seth Blattman has lived in Arizona since childhood. He attended both ASU and UofA. He is the owner of a family business in the furniture industry that he successfully transitioned from brick and mortar to e-commerce. In the legislature he has written bills focused on affordability/economy as well as protecting voting rights; the creation of a Micro-Business Loan Fund has been his greatest accomplishment. He believes in supporting public schools, protecting access to abortion, and representing his community. He serves as ranking member on the Ways and Means committee and sits on Appropriations and Military Affairs and Public Safety. My family moved to Arizona when I was ten years old. I went to UofA on a scholarship and finished my degree at ASU. I worked at my father's furniture manufacturing shop while pursuing 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 re-election to the Arizona State House of Representatives because I love Arizona, and I know that so many are tired of the current political climate. In my first term, I've shown my ability to work across the aisle in a bipartisan manner to achieve common-sense solutions. My appropriation of $5 million dollars in the state budget for small businesses will benefit countless Arizonans. If I am re-elected, I will continue my focus on structural reforms, bring down the current temperature of politics, and make government 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.

Mary Ann Mendoza
State Representative - District 9
Republican
https://mendozaforarizona.com
Mary Ann is an Arizona native, born right here in Mesa into a military family (her father served in the Air Force). She has worked as a Real Estate Agent for 42 years, and is blessed with four children and eight grandchildren. Mary Ann was thrust into the illegal immigration fight when her son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza of the Mesa Police Department, was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving while intoxicated/high. Mary Ann has since been a voice for Angel Families across our country, working with Governors and even Presidents. Her hobbies include gardening and horses. I'm an Angel Mom, whose son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, was tragically killed on May 12th, 2014, by an illegal alien who was driving while intoxicated/high. That's one of the reasons I bring so much focus to supporting our law enforcement and ending illegal immigration. Add in the violence, crime, fentanyl epidemic, and the billions of dollars illegal immigration costs Arizona each year (that could/should be going to our schools, health care, infrastructure), and this is clearly a top priority. We also need to undo the damage being done by Joe Biden's economic policies - high inflation, high gas and food prices, high interest and mortgage rates, and a stagnant economy. I'll work to protect school choice, ensure parental rights, and protect our district and charter schools. And I'll keep pushing on long-term issues like economic growth, job creation, and ensuring Arizona's water future. 2024 looks like another one of those years where Arizona and America picks a direction to move in. Will we embrace the Katie Hobbs/Joe Biden big government approach that makes everything a partisan battle? I hope not. Our issues are too big to be treated that way. That's why I'll work with everyone/anyone to make things better!

I've lived in Arizona for over 55 years and received a bachelor's and MBA from ASU. Since 1992, I've owned Canyon Records which produces Native American music and have earned a Grammy Award, 37 Grammy-nominations, a Platinum Record, two Gold Records, and the inaugural Governor's Arts Award for Small Business. In 2018, I volunteered with the LD18 Democrats, coordinating five Mesa precincts. In 2019, in support of Yes for Mesa Schools, I funded and managed a mailing to 5,500 households. In 2020, I continued as the Mesa precincts coordinator. Since moving to northeast Mesa, I've volunteered with the LD10 Democrats. As a small businessman, long-time resident of Mesa, and Democratic activist, I believe in€¦ PROTECTING a woman's right to choose and the constitutional right to freedom from government intrusion into her privacy and health decisions. INVESTING in public education (nationally) Arizona ranks almost last) and reforming the voucher system, which is a taxpayer subsidy to religious and private entities (and has the potential to develop into a serious financial crisis for Arizona). ENSURING equal rights for all communities (including those defined by gender and genetics) and pushing back on bigotry. SUPPORTING affordable housing including assistance for first-time buyers and rent stabilization for mobile home owners. INCREASING fiscal standards of responsibility and accountability in the legislature to ensure that taxpayer money is used efficiently and effectively and for the benefit of all Arizonans. STRENGTHENING our voting laws to protect our officials, staff, and volunteers. DEFENDING the Constitution and the time-honored values of our democracy which are based on rationality and enhancing the public good and not derived from emotion or dogma.

Republican
Senator David Farnsworth, born in Mexico City in 1951, has been an Arizona resident since 1952. A small business owner, he owns Farnsworth and Associates and has previous ventures in real estate, auto sales, and distribution. With experience as a licensed real estate and insurance agent, supervisor, and mechanic, he understands Arizona's business landscape. Married to Robin Farnsworth, they have 7 children and are active in the LDS Church. Farnsworth attended Mesa High School and Mesa Community College, studying Business Administration. His dedication to Arizona and extensive professional background make him a valuable representative. Having served in the State Senate, I initially retired until the call to return to public service came knocking. Given the delicate balance of our legislature, it's imperative that we elect Republicans who steadfastly uphold our cherished values. Among my priorities is addressing the pressing issue of children lost within the Arizona Department of Child Safety, a cause I champion as the chair of the Senate Transportation, Technology, and Missing Children Committee, alongside my role as co-chairman of the DCS Oversight Committee. Recognized as the Champion of the Taxpayer, I have consistently advocated for crucial matters such as border security, school choice, Second Amendment rights, the sanctity of life, and the importance of strong family values. With roots tracing back three generations in Arizona, I am deeply committed to preserving our state's unique identity. Your support in the upcoming election is paramount. Let us safeguard Arizona from the perils of misguided policies that would mimic those of California. Together, let us work towards the restoration of liberty. Your vote for me, David Christian Farnsworth, will ensure our shared values endure.

Married my high school sweetheart Denise and we've been blessed with 3 children and 8 grandchildren. In addition to helping with our church and local causes, I've volunteered with three overseas medical organizations that help in third world countries, and I've served numerous medical missions providing pediatric orthopedic care to countries including Nicaragua, Bolivia, Zimbabwe and Papua New Guinea. My hobbies include triathlons, astronomy, and playing in a bluegrass band. The Heap family has been in Arizona for generations, and we believe in public service and giving back. I'm honored to have the support of so many great Arizonans, veterans, first responders, small business owners, farmers, doctors and nurses, and more. I'm a proud lifelong conservative Republican ready to drain the Arizona swamp and do what is right. I'll protect our Constitutional rights (especially our 2 nd Amendment rights). I'll fight to end illegal immigration and prohibit taxpayer-funded benefits for those here illegally. I'll keep taxes and regulations low so our economy can thrive. I'll secure our elections so it is easy to vote and impossible to cheat. I'll support school choice and parental rights, abolish CRT and DEI programs, and protect girls' sports and locker rooms. I'll improve our health care system. I'll back the blue and other first responders. And I'll support reforms to how Congress does its business, starting with a Balanced Budget Amendment and Term Limits. I ran a successful medical practice for decades and know government is too large, too burdensome, and too expensive. Restoring our liberties means making government smaller and returning to our constitutional roots. I'm ready to roll and ask for your vote!

I am running for office again, because I have not seen the changes in our government and society that are so critically needed. As a candidate for the AZ House, I am hoping for an opportunity to help introduce and enact legislation that a) raises the bar for Arizona public education by providing equitable school funding, accountable ESA voucher management, and higher teacher pay, b) improves the economic well-being of all Arizonans and, c) provides for efficient, effective water analysis and management. Considering the recent legislative and judicial rulings in Arizona and across the country, I am also committed to work to restore and protect Arizona women's reproductive rights. I am long-time proponent of the universal and all-encompassing Golden Rule, treating others as I (and most of us) would like to be treated.

Joshua Ayala
State Senator - District 11
Republican
Born in Phoenix, Arizona, and raised in Laveen, Arizona. I went to Rosevelt District School Southwest. I am married with two children. I have owned a financial services company for 10 years and have been in financial services for 21 years. I believe in God. I am very passionate about the community and love to serve it, which is why I am running for the State Senate. I have three focuses: unity, family, and safety, for our area of Laveen, South Phoenix, and Guadalupe. Unity is important because, growing up in these areas, being a mixed-race individual had many struggles, including segregation. I know we can improve unity with effort from the community, programs, and awareness. Family, which I believe is the cornerstone of the community in which I am a fifth-generation Arizonan, Increasing programs and events surrounding family togetherness are vital to a healthy, growing community. Safety is vital to our area as drug use and homelessness increase. My focus is to work with city officials to increase policing. I have experienced firsthand when my home was broken into and many things stolen, with the police taking 3 hours or more to show up in South Phoenix. When I was a resident of Ahwatukee, my niece accidentally dialed the police, and they were there in under 5 minutes. I will work hard for the community so that we get the same response time and treatment as the example I gave.

Catherine Miranda
State Senator - District 11
Democratic
District 11, one of the most diverse communities in Arizona, has been my home my entire life. I believe a legislator must maintain close contact with the community and must be available to the people at any time. From the devotion of time at St. Catherine's of Sienna Parish to the time spent at American Legion Post 41, where my Korean War Veteran father was a member, to my involvement in sports in the South Mountain Community, this community has always been there to support me in all my endeavors, and I look forward to giving back. PRIORITIES Education: As a former teacher, school administrator and school board member, education always comes first for me. I understand the struggles first-hand what teachers and students face everyday in our classrooms. During my time at the legislature, I fought against taking resources out of public schools and supported increasing funding to pay our teachers a living wage and bring more dollars into the classroom. Now more than ever, Arizona is at the forefront of defining what our public education will look like for generations to come. Our community needs an experienced public education champion. 2 / 2 Homeless and the SMI population: Our district needs a Senator that can get bills signed into law. I did just that. My bill, SB 1311, was signed by Gov. Katie Hobbs on April 16 and will require AHCCCS to create recommendations to improve the information gathered on the SMI community and give assistance to those who need mental health services, but do not qualify for court-ordered evaluations. We need to know how often our persons with a serious mental illness, getting arrested, going into emergency departments, having inpatient hospital stay, getting arrested, and ending up homeless. My bill will do just that!

I've lived in Arizona thirty-two years, twenty-five have been in LD11. I am proud to say that I am part of the first class to graduate from Cesar Chavez High School back in 2002. I have worked in both the non-profit and corporate world throughout my career and I now work in full-time ministry at Laveen Baptist Church. I am passionate about serving our community and helping bring solutions to our needs. I thank God for living most of my life in Arizona and seeing the growth throughout the years. Arizona has potential and District 11 can lead the way. Unfortunately, the increase in crime rate, the lack of securing our border and the distribution of Fentanyl is hurting our district and our State. Our streets are not safe and there's a lack of police presence due to the low officer-to-community ratio. School Choice and opportunities to help families through Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, need to be preserved. As your elected official I will represent our district and not a political party agenda. As your elected official I will act in serving the people by working together in a bipartisan manner and compromise for what's best for our district and our state. I support all life and we must defend and protect it. It is our responsibility as a community to give our children and those to come after them a better and safer future by leading by example and working together for the common good. My simple objective is to serve our community and every resident of District 11, giving them a much needed community voice in the State House.

I will advocate for Arizona's autonomy and work to reclaim powers rightfully belonging to our state as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. I believe Arizona has the right to defend our state against all encroachments, so I will propose and support our border patrol, the border wall, and our local law enforcement. Above all, I believe in the importance of individual liberty and personal responsibility. I will defend our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Together, let's build a brighter future for South Phoenix-one grounded in prosperity, opportunity, and the values we hold dear.

A former sixth-grade English teacher, Oscar believes in a high-quality public education for our community's children. As the head of public policy for Arizona food banks, he worked successfully with both parties to pass legislation to combat childhood hunger. Earlier in his career, Oscar worked in President Obama's presidential campaign and in the Obama White House. The proud son of Mexican immigrants, Oscar is a Rhodes Scholar. He earned a Master of Public Policy from Oxford University. Growing up, I saw my dad come home exhausted every day from his job at the factory. And when I was a sixth-grade teacher, I made $29,000 a year. I know what it's like to barely get by while prices spiral out of control. That's why, in office, I have been a champion for everyday working- and middle-class Arizonans. To bring down the cost of rents and mortgages, I introduced HB2763, a landmark bill that would take on predatory out-of-state corporations that are buying up our houses and selling them back at exorbitant prices. I am also working around the clock to give our teachers, school nurses, bus drivers, and other education staff a BIG raise. And I am not afraid to take on Trump-style extremist politicians. I will never back down from defending our voting rights and democracy and protecting access to abortion. I am proud to be supported by a broad coalition of labor unions, women's rights organizations, environmental groups, and progressive leaders. I hope to earn your support, too.

For 50 years, my family members have been dedicated educators in South Phoenix. My beloved mother, Peggy Ruiz, dedicated 15 years to teaching until breast cancer tragically claimed her life when I was just 12. Her words,  "Give your life for others, change the world. ", have steered me toward a life of service; a commitment shared with my beautiful fiancé, Liz, a Marine Corps officer. Annually, our family hosts the South Phoenix/Laveen MLK Jr. Luncheon, a cherished community event focused on Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous words:  "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others? I am running for the House of Representatives for Laveen, South Mountain, Guadalupe, and Central City. Armando Ruiz, my father and former State Representative, told me to be a public servant, not a politician. After college, I had the opportunity to apply for a job with the United Nations. Instead, I chose to return home and give back to my community by working at a local school and nonprofit food bank. I have learned how to work with community leaders and find solutions to community issues. - Affordable Housing. I worked with community educators to establish Teachertown, affordable housing for teachers. - Safe Neighborhoods. I worked with community members to remove a violent bar that brought drugs next door to our elementary school. - Global Education. I co-founded the Academy of the Americas, a program that takes students from South Phoenix to Washington D.C. and other countries to discuss solutions with leaders in education, politics, and business.

For 13 years I coordinated events with my skateboarding dog, Astro, for the Ronald McDonald House and other charities in the valley. Since 2015 I have operated entrepreneurial businesses making pocket-book purses, artisan soaps and all natural beauty products. I am running for office to bring back the voice of the people and to ensure we restore faith and trust in our elections. I am determined to be the true voice of the people. As a local grassroots candidate I understand firsthand the challenges we face - like building a healthier economy, improving children's education, having a laser focus on quality job creation and uniting to ensure our local communities are safe and secure. I have the ability to stand up and speak the truth about what really matters, like ensuring parents decide what's best for their children, not the state. Saying no to forced health mandates, saying yes to increase penalties for human trafficking. Bring back small precincts and restore trust in our elections. Our constitution provided us with the foundation to govern ourselves through laws and orders decided upon by we the people, and we will choose how to live our lives as sovereign citizens in a constitutional republic. In pursuit of ideologies and special interests, politicians often forget who they work for. My job day one is to be the liaison, not the boss, to deliver the will of the people with true grit, fortitude and relentless perseverance in order to ensure the voices of the people maintain the power of the pen.

Lawrence Hudson was born in 1954. He and his wife Catherine Hayden have 3 grown children and - so far - 2 grandchildren, none of whom live in Arizona. Lawrence was a banker, living and working in New York, London, and Tokyo. In 2008, he and Catherine chose Tempe for retirement because it is where Catherine grew up and had family. Catherine produces a five-concert-per-year classical music performance series at the Tempe City for the Arts. Lawrence became a Republican precinct committeeman in 2018 and was elected treasurer for the county Republican committee in 2023. He has never before sought public office. I no longer believe in our elections. The 2020 general election results should not have been certified. The Legislature has responsibility for elections and they have wrongly delegated that authority to agencies like the secretary of state and the county recorders. I want the Legislature to take responsibility and to eliminate the obvious weaknesses, the reliance on mail-in voting and the use of counting machines. Of course, I am concerned about the border, the state of our schools, and our reckless government spending, but until we restore integrity to our elections, we will lose on these issues and on everything else. I do this for my grandchildren.

I was born in the birthplace of democracy, Athens, Greece, to a U.S. military father and Greek mother. A family with a history of military service, I served our country proudly as a Russian Intel Op in the U.S. Army. I earned my BS in Geology from U of A. I met my husband John, a small business owner in the UK. Back in the U.S., I became an advocate for homeless and disabled veterans, a cause I am still deeply committed to. I have two girls and love raising them in AZ a state that prides itself on fierce independence, love of country, and strong sense of community. Two years ago, I wrote that we need a common-sense approach to governing, to focus more on issues that bring us together, less on what divides us, and to meet the needs of all Arizonans by coming together. I have kept my word. In my first term, I've had three bills get to the Gov.'s office passed almost unanimously by both chambers, more than any Freshman in the minority party since 1990. I'm proof that you can work in a bi-partisan manner and still hold on to your values. I believe I have represented the will of our community with trust, honesty, integrity and transparency. I'm committed to keeping our children's legacy at the center of all I strive for on behalf of my fellow Arizonans. I still 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, and whether they will have a voice in their democracy. However, we're making progress where we can, and stopping bad bills so we don't go backwards. I'm still in this fight for their future, and I'm still in it for yours, too.

He works with charities, churches and non-profits, and is adjunct faculty at Arizona State University and Mesa Community College, where he has taught courses in political science for nearly two decades. J.D. and his wife, Holly, a family nurse practitioner, reside with their three young children in Chandler. As your legislator, I have written some of the most consequential laws on the books. They include: Reforming Arizona's tax code into a flat tax (which was the biggest tax cut ever), increasing the state's rainy day fund savings, balancing the budget, improving election integrity (I authored the 2022 voter ID proposal), protecting health coverage for Arizonans with pre-existing conditions, raising teacher pay by 20% (the largest education investment in state history), protecting survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, reducing taxes on small businesses, boosting private property rights, confronting the opioid epidemic, shielding seniors from financial exploitation, and creating veteran-friendly college campuses. That's why I have 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 nurse practitioner), father to three adorable little kiddos, professor and small business owner, with master's degrees in business and public administration, to keep delivering results for you.

Whatever legislation I approve in the Senate must improve the quality of life for all of us. Such legislation must be inclusive and address equality as well as reproductive rights, voters rights, and access to an excellent public education. Our Democracy is under attack. It's in times like these that we have the responsibility to step up, lead, and protect our freedoms now.

The struggles I faced are not unique, and I am determined to mitigate barriers for future generations so that our children can grow up in safe communities and schools.

She was then proud to stand with educators during the "Invest In Ed" initiative to support our neighborhood schools. I'm Brandy Reese and I am excited to be running to be your Representative in the Arizona State House. I'm running because I am passionate about investing in our neighborhood schools, restoring our freedom to make our own healthcare decisions, making our community affordable for everyone, and securing our water and climate future. Tackling these issues requires more than passion and energy. After earning my degree in chemistry, I spent 14 years as a forensic scientist. I embrace facts and numbers. As your representative, I will bring my evidence-based problem-solving skills to the legislature to tackle some of our most complex and difficult problems I have advocated for local Arizonans' needs at our Capitol, worked with education groups to better serve our students, and rallied against gun violence and being stripped of our freedoms. With the extreme MAGA candidates now running in Arizona, there are significant implications for what happens in our state. As someone who has spent summers out in the Arizona heat collecting signatures to fight bad legislation, I say it is time to instead elect people who will create good legislation. I humbly ask for your vote because I know I can make a difference.

His commitment to public service led Jeff to serve on Chandler City Council before being elected as State Representative. Jeff and his wife volunteer with charities benefiting children in crisis and young adults who have aged out of foster care. Jeff is a champion for small businesses, schools, and first responders. He is fighting to keep our communities safe and encouraging economic growth by keeping taxes low and reducing bureaucratic red tape. As a small business owner and your former State Representative, I know what it means to balance a budget at the capitol and at my company. When I was at the Capitol, I led on critical issues like regulatory reform, attracting and growing local businesses, and protecting Arizona values, all without raising your taxes. I understand the issues facing small businesses firsthand, so I've fought to create a business-friendly economy, provide access to capital for small businesses, and invest in our education system while expanding school choice. Job creators need a 21st-century workforce and strong schools in order to keep our economy competitive and growing. Since opening the doors to my first restaurant over 30 years ago, I've employed hundreds of Arizonans, fed thousands, and contributed to the local economy as a small business owner. I am fighting for Arizona values and to protect your tax dollars as your next State Representative. I have the most experience as a job creator and legislator - and I hope to earn your vote.

Julie is a registered nurse with experience in various areas of healthcare and healthcare leadership, with a large portion of her career dedicated to trauma emergency medicine. A graduate of both Arizona's community college program through Gateway Community College and university program through Arizona State University, Julie holds her Master of Science in Nursing with an emphasis on Leadership and Management and holds multiple professional certifications. Julie and her husband Brice have two children. I'm serving my first term and earning a reputation for  "getting things done. " You won't see me spending my days posting on social media, but I am helping to make steady progress on issues that matter. We've overcome Governor Katie Hobbs' veto pen to get some good things done, so we've made progress on improving our elections process, fighting the drug cartels and their human and child trafficking, reforming and improving how insurance companies have to process and honor claims, and more. We're having real battles over parental rights and school choice I'll work to protect students and their families to be able to decide what type of education is most beneficial to them and their access to every possible education option. Some days get pretty intense, but my background as a trauma nurse means legislating is actually pretty calm compared to the real life and death situations I face at my other  "day job. " I'll keep working hard and thank you for the opportunity to serve. And please reach out if I can ever be of help or if you want to comment on an issue.

Elizabeth Brown
State Senator - District 14
Democratic
https://www.elizabethforarizona.com/
Elizabeth is a proud mother of two daughters and a grandmother of five. She has lived in Arizona since 1981 and has been an active community member, advocating for the rights and freedoms of Arizonans. Elizabeth worked for both Governor Janet Napolitano (D) and Governor Jan Brewer (R) in the Office of Constituent Services. She has experience working across the aisle to bring Arizonans together to make things happen. She knows how to cut through red tape to help Arizonans success. I am Elizabeth Brown, candidate for the Arizona State Senate and I stand for women, families, and education. Women's Reproductive Freedom: Reproductive freedoms are crucial as they empower individuals to make decisions about their own bodies, health and futures. Access to contraception, IVF and safe abortion services allows women to plan their families, pursue education, careers and maintain overall well-being. These freedoms are fundamental for gender equality and autonomy. By supporting women in making choices about their reproductive health, society fosters the individual, economic stability, and social progress. Safe Fanilies: As an Arizona State Senate candidate, prioritizing teen safety is critical. I advocate for policies promoting education, mental health support, and safe environments to empower our youth. Education: I prioritize public education for its role in shaping future generations. Investing in public education fosters informed citizens, builds community, boosts economic growth and decreases inequality. I advocate for equitable funding, quality resources, and accessible education to ensure a brighter future for all. Having worked under Governors Napolitano (D) and Jan Brewer (R) and in the State Senate, I have the insight and knowledge to make effective change. I humbly ask for your vote.

On the family side of things, he has been blessed with eight children who attended Arizona public schools and are his greatest accomplishments in life.

He enjoys backpacking, reading, gardening, traveling, flying remote control airplanes, and hydroponic farming. He's a licensed private pilot and former merit badge counselor and Eagle Scout Review Board member for the Boy Scouts of America. I agreed to return to the Legislature because a lot of really important issues were dying by one- vote margins. I knew that every seat matters and we need consistent conservatives. You elected me and I went to work, keeping my promises to you. Strong border bills, legislation to clean up our elections and increase transparency in the process, protecting school choice and parental rights, improving health care and how insurance companies must treat customers, protecting girls' sports, and so much more. I'm running with Warren Petersen and Khyl Powell. REMEMBER, YOU GET TWO VOTES FOR STATE HOUSE! Vote Hendrix AND Powell. Why support the team? Becase it makes no sense to elect one of us, then one of our opponents to cancel out our vote. Fighting the left and winning will require proven and trustworthy conservatives, working together, to get the job done. Everyone campaigns as conservative Republicans in our district, even liberal Democrats. Don't be fooled. Help keep Arizona great, help keep our economy on track, and help stop the radical left. Every vote matters, so please elect your conservative team of Petersen, Hendrix and Powell, and THANK YOU for doing your part. We won't let you down!

Lalani Hunsaker is running for the Arizona State House of Representatives in District 14. She and her husband, Nate, have lived in the district for 19 years. Three of their four children were born in the area and the Hunsakers have chosen to live, work and raise their family in this community. They are completely invested in District 14 and Arizona. That is why Lalani is running for office; because she loves this state and the people who call it home. She has worked in and around politics her entire adult life. Lalani believes that she is uniquely qualified to represent the district and contribute to making Arizona better. District 14 needs a proven Conservative voice to fight for us at the Capitol. Our country has gone through a dark and seismic shift under Biden. Too many elected officials have put power and radical agendas ahead of We the People. The impact of the open border crisis can no longer be sustained. 2024 can be the turnaround year for our state and country, but we must act swiftly, boldly and decisively. Leadership doesn't start in Washington, it starts locally, with courageous concerned citizens. I'm not a politician. I'm a wife, mom, and unapologetic conservative. I love this community more than words can explain. My children were born here and Nate and I have made Gilbert home for nearly twenty years. I have run a business, served in our community and fought tirelessly for education reform. I'm running to be the bold conservative voice our community desperately needs. I will fight to secure our border and our elections, put our families first, fight for education outcomes and options, protect Arizona's water future, stand up for small businesses, and prioritize public safety.

I believe I can use my extensive life and leadership experiences to make a unique and positive difference in Arizona's House of Representatives. We I have made 20 policy commitments to voters in my district, which can be seen at my website www.AndrewJacksonAZ.com.

I've worked for the Phoenix Police Department and the FBI, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, owned and managed a successful Industrial Real Estate Development company, and owned and served as President of a multi-million dollar service company for 24 years. Locally I've served on the Town of Gilbert Planning and Zoning Board and the Small Business Alliance board. I'm also a lifelong Republican who has been active in the Party for years. Today, more than ever, our freedoms are being targeted from every side and we need to push back with renewed vigor to protect life, our freedom of speech, our 2nd amendment rights, our economy and more. We are over-regulated, over-governed and over-taxed at the federal level and those on the left want to do the same to us at the state and local levels. I've had a great career running successful businesses and I was looking forward to spending time with my grandkids when the call came, asking me to run for office. Our district needed a conservative everyone could count on, so my wife and I prayed on it and committed ourselves to the effort. I'm proud to be on the Petersen, Hendrix and Powell team because they are proven, rock-ribbed conservatives. We have opponents who disagree with us and that's okay. You get to vote and choose the government you want. But if you want secure borders and elections, lower inflation and prices, your rights and liberties secured, safe neighborhoods and schools, and so much more, please vote for proven and trusted conservatives - Petersen, Hendrix AND Powell (you get TWO votes for State House). Thank you!

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, Neal Carter and Peter Anello. I ask that you support all three of us. You get ONE vote for State Senate and TWO votes for State House.

Alan Smith
State Senator - District 15
Democratic
https://www.alansmithforarizona.com/
I grew up in a middle class family in Davenport, IA with two brothers. My father was a factory worker and my mom worked for a bookkeeping service. I graduated from a public school and attended the University of Iowa attaining a Finance degree. I was the first in our family to graduate college. I had a 38 year career in the insurance industry as an auditor. It started in Iowa and I transferred to UT, CA, CO, back to IA, HI and AZ. I have lived in Mesa since 2015. We have three grown children and four grandchildren. We all want Arizona to be a safe, welcoming, educated, happy, healthy, progressive state. Though we will not agree on all the issues, I will always welcome open discussion so we can do what is best for Arizona. Here are some examples of the Arizona Priorities I want to change or improve: -Fully funding our public schools, community colleges and state universities. Over 90% of our children attend public schools. -Stop universal vouchers that are defunding our public schools and subsidizing private schools. It is a fake school choice issue if the remaining tuition, after the voucher, is not possible. -Women's Reproductive Rights- Pro Choice. -Common Sense gun & weapon legislation. -Continue early and mail-in voting. Continue using vote tabulators. -Water use must be measured and used appropriately. Our aquifers are being depleted, wells are running dry and the ground is cracking and collapsing. My opponent, Jake Hoffman, is against all of these Arizona Priorities. He also is criminally charged with nine felonies for the  "fake elector " scheme. He doesn't listen to his constituents with an open mind or even care how you vote. I will listen to you and do what is best for Arizona now and in the future.

Peter Anello

Republican
I am dedicated conservative, an Iraq combat veteran, marked by service, faith, and unwavering dedication to my community and country. As a member of the Queen Creek Post 129 American Legion, I currently serve as Chaplain, offering spiritual guidance and support. After graduating from High School, I enlisted in the military. My deployment to Iraq tested my courage and resilience. My faith in God, and commitment to my wife of 42 years, and the love of Country fueled my involvement in local politics, where I serve as a Precinct and State Committeeman. I'm proud to be a God-loving, America-first conservative, who believes in hard work and personal responsibility. As a concerned citizen, I've served my district as a volunteer Precinct/State Committeeman and district board member. You can be guaranteed that I've put in the time and service and am not just another career politician beholden to lobbyists. As a combat veteran, I recognize the danger signals screaming at us from every direction in our country, particularly at our state border. I serve in the American Legion and with the JROTC. I've also served as a police chaplain for 7 years, as a pastor for 10 years, and on church boards overseeing million dollar budgets. I've been married for 42 years to my wonderful wife and we love Arizona! We want to keep it strong and free! That means voting for people who have already been in the fight to protect our communities, our children, and our Christian values. I have a lifetime record of fighting for these priorities and am running to join Representative Carter and Senator Hoffman in continuing that fight. I'd be honored to receive your vote and serve you! Please vote for Anello, Carter, and Hoffman.

Barbara Beneitone
State Representative - District 15
Democratic
https://www.barbbeneitone.com/
Barrbara Beneitone an Arizona native, was an active community organizer, raising funds for the development of parks and recreation centers. She was chair of library, heart and cancer drives. Barbara has been an activist for many years working on several political campaigns, advocating for women's rights, human rights, public education and the environment to name a few. Barbara became a single mother of 3, at an early age and out of necessity, acquired a diverse employment history which gives her an advantageous perspective of Main Street America. She was a real estate agent until 2022 when she retired her license. I am an Arizona native who grew up in mining communities in our state. I am pro union, pro women's rights and human rights. I am appalled by the action of the Maga Republicans in our legislature to deny women bodily autonomy and vow to help defeat them in November and restore the right of choice. Women, their families and their doctors should be involved in those decisions, not politicians in suits. The attempt to privatize our public school system in Arizona is fraught with corruption. The flagrant abuse of school vouchers has blown a billion dollar hole in our budget because there is little to no accountability of how our tax dollars are being spent. We must fund our public schools. We must elect people who believe in the peaceful transfer of power and not give election deniers, who push fake electoral schemes, the ability to assault and destroy our Democracy. Arizona must push congress to find common sense, humane and legal solutions to a decades old immigration problem. Vote for change, truth and transparency.

Neal Carter

Neal Carter is a conservative Republican who believes in the values of the Constitution: faith, family and free economy. A District 15 homeowner since 2010, he is married to his lovely wife, Katy, an Arizona native and Gilbert High School graduate. Neal and Katy are proud parents of their one-year-old daughter, Claire. Neal volunteers locally with his church and adopts a segment of Hunt Highway. Neal works these past 7 years for a technology company called Nuix. Neal is honored to serve as your voice in the legislature, a position he considers to be a sacred trust. Neal Carter is a constitutional conservative we can trust. Just look at my voting record: with 100% scores with the American Conservative Union, ( "CPAC ") Arizona Free Enterprise Club, and Republican Liberty Caucus, I'm fighting for the conservative principles of limited government, rule of law, and lower taxes. I'm fighting at the state legislature to secure the border and reduce spending. I'm running for reelection to defend the values of the Constitution: freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, economic freedom, freedom to bear arms, etc. A smaller government means a freer nation. The proper role of government is to defend life, liberty and property, not to guarantee happiness. I'm running for reelection because over the past several years I have understood that our country is in a crisis, beset by forces that intend to use the power of government to coerce ideologies on us. I'm known for standing up for what's right, and I prefer death over dishonor. Things I believe in include securing the border, defending school choice (parents raise children, not the government), defending life from conception to natural death because life has God-given dignity, fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, and returning money to taxpayers.

The government keeps finding ways to come after our constitutional rights, we cannot give an inch or else the power hungry bureaucrats in Washington will take a mile! I am fighting for Arizona and fighting for you.

I am proud to have earned endorsements from first responders, including police and fire, as well as business groups from around the state. I have sponsored legislation to provide law enforcement with the tools and the funding they need to get the job done and keep criminals off our streets, including voting for harsher penalties against drug cartels, dealers, and human traffickers.

While living in Coolidge Rob served on the City Council for four years. Rob and his wife, Amy, have 7 children and 5 grandchildren. Rob enjoys training in Jiu Jitsu for a hobby and personal fitness. I have been married 31 years, with 7 children, and 5 grandkids. As a family man, a pastor, and a small business owner, I see a desperate need for Christian leadership in our nation. The Republican party platform is exceptional because it is rooted in biblical principle. For example, I am pro-life because of Psalm 139.13. I am pro-second amendment because of Luke 22.36. Parents, not the government, are responsible for their children's education and should have school choices (Ephesians 6.1-4). This is why protecting ESA's is so important. The invasion at the border must be stopped, and the woke narrative strangling businesses through DEI training and ill-fated policies must be opposed at every turn. Current LD 16 representatives have supported these damaging policies, at least in part, undermining our freedoms and liberties. This is a critical time for our country and especially for our state. I will fight to be your voice staving off the socialist agenda and protecting our American heritage.

Gabby has been fighting the establishment on both sides since 2009. Gabby works for a small business in Tucson; she is bilingual and not afraid of saying it like it is in both languages. After living in LD16 for almost 15 years, I have not had my values and the things that matter to me represented at the legislature. I am running because I am tired of having to vote for the lesser of two evils. As an elected representative you should not compromise fiscal responsibility, sanctity of life and the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the US Constitution; just to be in good graces with lobbyist and special interest groups to insure your political career. Katie Hobbs regime has been very destructive to our liberties, and they need to be stopped. We need to strengthen our Southern Border and demand the Federal Government enforce our immigration laws. The foreign invasion we are experiencing is not acceptable. We must restore our American values, strengthen our public education with curriculums that cover all the basics in learning and entice children to be challenged in math and science; our society will not survive if we continue this path of dumbing down our children with failing public education. We must give parents educational choices for their children by continuing to offer and defend the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA).

I moved to Arizona in 1974 to start my first teaching job in Lake Havasu City. 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. In 2018, I ran - and won - a seat on the Coolidge Unified School Board. In 2022, I was honored by the voters of LD 16 to represent them in the Arizona House of Representatives. If re-elected, I will fight for Arizona students, teachers, and families. During my 40 years in rural classrooms across the state, I saw just how underfunded our state's public schools are when a ceiling collapsed over a rug full of my kindergarten students while I was teaching. Now, I work to help Arizonans make their voices heard at the legislature through my work with Civic Engagement Beyond Voting. I am ready to continue the work of listening to constituents as Legislative District 16s representative. My vision is an Arizona where every child in our state can access a quality public education regardless of zip code, all voters have the freedom to vote and participate in our democracy, and families don't have to choose between paying healthcare costs and avoiding bankruptcy. Our state is so divided right now. I know we can bridge divides and build community by bringing everyone into our governing process and giving all good ideas the fair hearing at the legislature they deserve.

Secure Border: - Ensuring a secure border is crucial for protecting a country's sovereignty, national security, and the safety of its citizens. - Implementing effective border control measures, such as border patrols, surveillance technology, and immigration policies, can help prevent illegal crossings and activities. - Balancing security with humanitarian concerns is essential, as countries must also consider the rights and well-being of migrants and refugees seeking asylum. 2. Strong Economy: - A strong economy is vital for providing opportunities, jobs, and a high quality of life for citizens. - Key factors for a strong economy include robust infrastructure, a skilled workforce, innovation, entrepreneurship, and a stable regulatory environment. - Governments can support economic growth through policies that promote investment, trade, education, and research and development. 3. Balanced Budget: - A balanced budget occurs when a government's revenues equal its expenditures, resulting in no deficit or surplus. - Maintaining a balanced budget is important for fiscal responsibility, avoiding excessive debt accumulation, and ensuring long-term financial stability. - Achieving a balanced budget often requires careful budget planning, effective allocation of resources, and sometimes making tough decisions about spending priorities and revenue sources.

John is a third-generation Arizonan and attended the University of Arizona before continuing to graduate school in California. When John and his wife started a family, they returned to Tucson to raise their children because of the good schools and outstanding quality of life. Shortly after returning to Tucson, John opened an office with Arete Associates to develop cutting-edge technologies for national security. John is a proven business leader who has brought nearly $1B of economic activity to southern Arizona over Arete's thirty-year history. He believes in true public service, where legislators put their communities' interests above their own. I am a third-generation Arizona native, education advocate, and businessman. I know what Arizonans need and how we can better the lives of all Arizonans. My parents taught me the value of personal integrity, hard work, and community service. My mother was an educator, and I chose the Tucson region for my family for its remarkable public schools. The education I received in Southern Arizona set me up to succeed in my professional endeavors, and I know that good schools with outstanding teachers are the foundational building blocks to ensure future generations' success. I know the value of public service, and learned about true bipartisanship from my uncle Bob Wilcox, who served in the state Senate with Sandra Day O'Connor. I give back to the community through volunteer service, advocacy, and philanthropy in education, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and quality of life in our community. I has served as an officer on the Board of four Arizona-based non-profits, and I am committed to making a positive impact.

Together, they're raising a beautiful blended family, including four children who have gone on to enlist like their father and two children with special needs. Motherhood has motivated Justine's crusade in Pinal County on issues as expansive as education to healthcare. In a system that's been designed to benefit itself, children with disabilities and their parents need an advocate that prioritize their rights and interests. In 2018, in defense of her own daughter's safety and dignity, Justine challenged both state and federal agencies and won. A self-described  "citizen legislator, " Justine used her first-term as an instrument of her constituents, seeking their input on legislation and writing bills reflecting their concerns.

Disheartened by the lack of leadership among elected officials, Cory entered the political arena, running for the Arizona House in 2022 to uphold conservative principles. Since then, he has fearlessly championed conservative values, steadfast in his commitment to defending what's right, even when standing alone. I stand as a beacon of hope for every American who's tired of empty promises and political games. In the State House, I fight tooth and nail to protect our rights, our values, and our way of life.

Anna is a graduate of both the University of Arizona and Grand Canyon University with a Master's degree in Organizational Psychology. She and her husband Steve have three grown children, who were all born and raised in Oro Valley. Anna is a lifelong Republican and successful small business owner. Her hobbies include pickleball, gardening, oil painting, and volunteering at her church and local charities. I'm a 4 th -generation Tucsonan running to ensure Republicans keep this seat in conservative Republican hands. We can't afford Republicans who kill good Republican bills, or so-called America-first conservatives who break campaign promises and vote with Democrats. Our vote margin in the State House is just one vote, so Democrats win every time a State Representative betrays our cause. I'm an actual America First Conservative who believes in fixing our elections, securing our borders, supporting our police and veterans, restoring medical freedom so government cannot mandate future treatments or vaccines, low taxes, good jobs, and policies that protect our farmers and ranchers. I have been working on issues like election integrity since before 2020 and I've put in hundreds of hours on auditing the old system and helping design improvements to it. We don't need political grandstanding and politicians chasing social media clicks, we need long-term water planning, good roads, excellent schools, and common sense solutions to the everyday challenges Arizonans face. I've been successful in business and in my community because I do what is right and treat people right. I ask for your vote so I can do the same for our state. Let's protect our Republican majority together!

I am running to address our most pressing challenges head-on to build a better future for our community and our state. I'm a former public school teacher. I believe we need to fully staff and fund our schools so that all children have the opportunity to succeed. I'm a small business owner. We can build a strong economy while addressing the high costs of living - especially in housing, where I have direct experience. I grew up in the Sonoran desert. I know how vital water is for our way of life and economy here. We must develop a plan to diversify and conserve our water supply. And I'm an Arizonan. We treasure our individual freedoms like reproductive freedom and early voting, and we need to protect them from attack. These days, it seems like all we get from the current state legislature is extreme, divisive politics. We need to get back to focusing on public service. With a love of our community and real-world education and business experience, I am ready to help bring new leadership to the Arizona State House. I humbly ask for your vote.

State Senator - District 18

https://priyaforarizona.com/
Born and raised in LD18, I love Tucson and the opportunities I had for an excellent public education and exploring the outdoors. Until recently, I taught natural resources law at the University of Arizona, and previously advocated for sustainable resource management. As a voting rights advocate, I have led voter protection efforts and engagement on redistricting. Having studied engineering at MIT and law and natural resource economics at the U of A, I know we need more science-based decision-making in politics. As a mother of two small children, I want Arizona's future generations to inherit a sustainable world. In my first term in the Arizona Senate after being elected in 2022, I have served as Ranking Member of the Senate Natural Resources Committee. In this role I have been able to lead on whether the bills we are hearing will serve Arizona's future, or whether they will increase depletion of our resources without benefit for the general public. I have introduced bills that will help Arizona lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, and manage our water resources more responsibly. I am also Ranking Member of the Senate Elections Committee. In this role I have been fighting against Republican attempts to take away voting rights and reduce voting access. Voting should be easy and accessible to everyone, and I will continue to fight to make sure our secure Arizona elections are kept that way. If Democrats take the majority, then we can be the chairs of these Committees and finally hear bills that would move Arizona forward and protect our future!

I am seeking reelection to serve another term as Representative for LD18 in the State House. I would like to continue my work to protect and fully fund our public schools, because as a teacher, I have seen the devastating effects of the lack of funding and campaign of disrespect that has been happening for years in Arizona. As a union member, I will continue to work hard for all workers in Arizona that they have good pay and benefits. We must guarantee the right to abortion and all reproductive services for the people of Arizona and I will continue to do so. I will advance my work for gun sense legislation so that we are safer in our schools and communities. It has been my honor to serve on the Education and Appropriations Committees this session as well as be elected to leadership as the Democratic Whip for my caucus.

Arizona state government must Invest in public education that guarantees ALL students in Arizona outstanding schools, build a modern infrastructure; stop tax breaks to special interests; allow local governments to govern; support economic fairness; champion diversity and inclusion, create an environment for sustained economic growth that provides good jobs and good pay checks for workers in rural Arizona while protecting our precious natural resources and environment; protect a women's reproductive healthcare.

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.

I am a Tucson native, a husband, and father. I am a Christian. Professionally, I am an engineer. My family has been a part of southern Arizona for many decades. We have worked in the mines, helped bring water to our neighborhoods and farming communities, run local businesses, and invested in our pueblos. I attended both Pima Community College and the University of Arizona. During graduate school, I moved to Mexico to teach and learn. I returned home and continued working with folks from all walks of life. These experiences have taught me the value of investing in people. People matter. What we do today, matters. With a long view of history in mind, we can easily discern our trajectory forward. The obvious question is - what do we need to now to provide every avenue of success to future generations? Our response to this question will determine how well we accomplish our mission. Our Arizona State Constitution declares (Article 2, Section 1)  "A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is essential to the security of individual rights and the perpetuity of free government. " As well as (Article 2, Section 2)  "All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights. " With this foundation established, put me to work. I will fight for educational freedom, to improve scholastic standards, regain control of our border, protect our citizens' liberties, and help restore our adherence to values embraced and required by our Constitutional Republic. It is our responsibility to teach future generations how to protect and keep a very rare gift - freedom.

Her Amateur radio license became valuable when she was a volunteer with the Vacaville CA police dept. She was a member of the PTA, volunteered as a classroom parent, and at the high school library. She was founding member of the TEA Party in Yucaipa CA 2009-2012. She has been a PC since 2016. E Pluribus Unum - Out of many one. We are a melting pot. I believe in legal immigration not illegal immigration. I am a strong supporter of the 1st and 2nd amendments. I do not support a gun registration because of what happened in Germany when Hitler was in power. Abortion is not to be used for birth control. It should only be used in extreme conditions (rape, incest, life of the woman). If you do not use birth control and get pregnant then take responsibility for your actions. Either keep the child and raise it or make an adoption plan. I am the recipient of two wonderful girls because two young ladies chose life. Kneeling for the flag does not solve the problem you are trying to showcase, actions do. If you are worried about the inner-city kids become a mentor to them.

I've just finished my first term and I can tell you that the battles being fought at the national level between left and right are very real at the state level too. I promised you I'd be a strong conservative voice and I kept my word. I defend the taxpayers, fight for election integrity, vote for school choice, and fight to end illegal immigration. I've written bills to secure our elections and provide real transparency and accountability. I've voted for efforts to secure our borders in the face of this unreal Biden Border Crisis. I've championed agriculture issues for Yuma and the West Valley in Maricopa County, and Arizona's long-term water future. And I've battled the left on a host of issues ranging from taxes to public safety to protecting girl's locker rooms to school choice to fighting for your medical freedom. I'm grateful for the support I've gotten from veterans, cops, doctors and more, and I'll keep fighting the swamp right here in Arizona. As Chairman of our local district GOP I worked hard to re-elect President Trump, Congressman Gosar, and others, and I'm doing the same today as your Representative. Together, we will do great things for Arizona!

Gary Garcia Snyder

Republican

Gary was born in Texas to a military family and moved to Arizona in 2003. He has International Business studies from State University and additional training/schooling in water conservation and soil management. A serial entrepreneur (and Pro Player), Gary operates the Southern Winter Baseball League, which plays games in Arizona and Mexico. Gary is a successful small businessman and Republican activist who spreads the party's message of opportunity in both English and Spanish. His hobbies include sports, family, church events, and rooting for the Diamondbacks. He also works with S.M.I.L.E., a local charity that helps the disabled. I'm a lifelong Republican who was raised in a conservative Christian military family, which helps explain my commitment to America's founding values.I'm a small business owner and have experience in food safety, soil, water treatment and water conservation in agriculture through my AWC coursework and the Yuma Safe Produce Council.I also have PSA Grower, Pre-Season, and Pre-Harvest Certificates. All of which gives me valuable expertise in agricultural issues that matter to our district. Most candidates talk about election integrity, but I'm the only candidate who has documented and recorded multiple acts of ballot harvesting, forgery, and intent to commit fraud -- leading to Arizona's first indictment and felony convictions for election fraud. In fact, my work was shown in Dinesh D'Souza's  "2000 Mules " movie. I'm running to serve the greater good and have a strong proven grassroots record as an bilingual Precinct Committeeman, State Committeeman, State Delegate and Member-at-Large for the AZ Republican Party. I'm a longtime advocate for law-enforcement, first responders, military members and our Second Amendment rights. With your vote, I'll focus on critical issues including border security, election integrity, veterans, law enforcement, water conservation, agriculture, infrastructure, medical freedom (no vaccine mandates!), housing, jobs, and religious freedom.

State Representative - District 25
Republican
https://www.nickkupper.com
Nick Kupper grew up in Oregon and joined the United States Air Force in 2003, one year before marrying his high school sweetheart, Crystal. After 20 years spent traveling the world as a military electrician, recruiter and manager, he retired in 2023 while stationed at Luke AFB in Maricopa County. Nick has degrees in human resource management and aviation maintenance technology and is currently working as a paralegal. He and Crystal have four children, including one daughter adopted from Armenia. He has made appearances on American Ninja Warrior, Tucker Carlson Tonight, Newsmax and Firebrand with Matt Gaetz. Though I have long been politically conservative, I had little interest in running for office before 2020. But then the Air Force unsuccessfully tried to kick me out after a stellar 19-year career, simply for refusing an emergency-use COVID-19 vaccine I was not legally required to take. That experience, combined with overt tyrannical actions of countless  "leaders " nationwide, convinced me that quietly transitioning into civilian life after the military was not in the cards. Since then, I have made dozens of media appearances and worked with Congressmen Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan and Thomas Massie to find redress for thousands of servicemembers unjustly impacted by vaccine mandates. The experience has shown me how much we need courageous political leaders who are unafraid to stand against a popular tide of tyranny - not just about medical freedom, but also border security, gun rights, gender confusion, free speech, water issues, election integrity, the unborn and so many others. I am asking for your vote as the only veteran running in Legislative District 25 for state representative. I was willing to risk losing everything during COVID for what I knew was right - and I'll keep doing the same as your elected official.

I moved to Surprise Arizona in 2011 with my wife Lynn, where we opened a successful award-winning restaurant, New York Flavor. While most of my career was in Marketing and New Business Development, I have been a lifelong advocate, husband, father, and board member. I am currently a board member of The Vista Center for the Arts in Surprise AZ, where our board is committed to bringing Quality Arts and performances to the West Valley at affordable prices. In my present role as a real estate agent, I am excited to provide families and individuals with equitable opportunities to become homeowners. Our state is facing some of the greatest challenges we have ever seen. Whether it is the oppression of women and minorities; gutting public education, ignoring climate change and its effects, not building affordable housing, wealth, and racial inequality the outlook can seem bleak. Therefore, I am eager to join our state legislature to apply the knowledge and experience I have gained over my lifetime to guide Arizona into the future. I know that when hard-working, committed people come together to reach a goal, we can achieve things that may seem impossible. This is an incredible opportunity for me to work for all Arizonians and its marginalized communities. I am excited to work with a body comprised of people committed to the same goals. My experience as a businessman, board member and advocate for democratic issues, is the reason why I am running to be your LD 25 State House Representative.

A fifth-generation Arizonan, born and raised in the 26th district, Senator Flavio Bravo serves on the Board of Directors for the Arizona Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, Central Arizona Shelter Services, Open Hearts Family Wellness, and the Kino Border Initiative. A proud first-generation college graduate, Flavio holds degrees from Loyola University Chicago and the University of San Francisco, where he was recognized as a 30 Under 30 Alumni and received their Public Service Award. Flavio is also a proud alumnus of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) Graduate Fellowship in Washington, D.C., and of Valle del Sol's Hispanic Leadership Institute. My name is Flavio Bravo, and I have the great privilege of serving as your State Senator. I was first elected to the Arizona State Legislature in November 2022, and currently serve on the Senate Elections, Judiciary, and Rules committees. Two years ago, I ran on a platform of supporting public education, expanding affordable housing, and improving healthcare outcomes across our community. I am proud to share that I have since introduced and passed multiple legislative proposals out of committee and out of the Senate chamber ranging from improving teacher contracts, to increasing funding for emergency shelter programs for Arizonans living on the streets, to leading legislation in support of Arizonans with autism, which was included in a bipartisan bill signed by Governor Hobbs this session. That said, I realize that our district and our state continue to face great challenges. I humbly ask for your support, so that I can continue to fight for a more just and livable future for all Arizonans.

I was born in Oakland CA, raised by two parents, with four sisters and two brothers. I joined the military in February 1974 and retired February 1994. I have been married to the same wonderful woman since 1978, and we have two boys and one granddaughter. I have worked for the City of Phoenix as a Police Officer, Section 8 Inspector and retired from Neighborhood Services as an Inspector in 2015. I am a proud Christian and a leader in my church. I'm a candidate for State Senate because I'm tired of the political games being played and the high price that our district pays as a result. We deserve the same clean, safe streets and quality schools that other districts have, but until the political nonsense stops, we won't get them. We deserve jobs, good roads, and all the rest, but we get none of it. When voters tell me that I'm not a politician I agree wholeheartedly, and I think that's a good thing. We need to elect more people who will do the right thing for the right reason and who are looking out for others, not themselves. I'm a retired veteran who was proud to serve his country and I think we need that same sense of public service in our elected officials. I'm also a proud retiree of the City of Phoenix, which is where I learned so much about how government does and does not work. And of course, I've been active in my church and our community. I ask for your vote and hope that you will talk to your friends and neighbors and spread the word about my campaign. Thank you!

Both rely on each other for a strong economy to prosper and as the ranking member of the Commerce Committee, I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish for Arizonans. As I enter my reelection I plan to continue to advocate for the same values of expanding medicaid to working families, properly funding education across the board, and getting rid of Right-To-Work in Arizona, so families can have good healthcare, a livable wage, and a pension so they can retire comfortably. Too many families are just getting by and I continue to stand up for the most vulnerable in my district. I humble ask for your vote for another term to accomplish even more.

I am committed to safe neighborhoods, excellent schools, good jobs, and prioritizing the needs of our community over the special interests that seem to dominate our political system. Crime is out of control, even though we all know safe neighborhoods are the foundation of thriving communities. I'll work with public safety groups to ensure our streets are safe so our families and children can walk without fear. A strong education system means everything to our children's future, which is why I will advocate for increased funding for teachers and staff, get more dollars into the classroom instead of the administration, and promote policies that ensure that every kid gets access to a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code. Good jobs are how we provide for our families now and our retirement later, but too many of us are stuck living paycheck to paycheck. That's why I'll work to attract new businesses and provide training opportunities to equip our workforce with the skills they need for high-paying jobs now. Our incumbent lawmakers prioritize special interests over our well-being. We deserve better. I ask for your vote and thank you for your support!

I've lived and worked in our district for over 25 years. I have a degree in Business Administration and I'm a small business owner of a company that produces "Private Label All Natural Progesterone and Hormone Balance Creams. " I'm also a real estate investor, which is how I get to talk to so many people in our neighborhoods. I'm an aircraft pilot and certified flight instructor, and own thoroughbred racehorses that I race at Turf Paradise and Santa Anita racetracks. I also earned my Eagle Scout while in Boy Scouts of America. Do you wish our State Representative was working to stop crime, secure our border, end the fentanyl epidemic, and improve our schools? I do, which is why I'm running for office. I'm an ordinary citizen with an extraordinary work ethic, and I am ready to get this job done. Today's politicians don't care about working-class families anymore - they're too busy collecting checks from big donors and special interests. Not me. I'm a 4 th generation Arizonan and small business owner who is running using Clean Elections, which means I'm not taking a dime from special interests, their PACs, or their lobbyists. Not one cent! And because I work for you, and just you, I'll put all my energy into cleaning up our streets, improving our schools, helping our state to deal with illegal immigration and the problems it has brought to our neighborhoods, and more. We know this isn't complicated and we know things can be better because things used to be better. We just have to change who is in charge and put regular working people back in charge. If you agree, I ask for your vote!

Following his military service, he worked as a defense contractor in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.

I was born and raised on the East Coast into a middle-class family that stressed strong beliefs in public service. Originally enlisting in the coast guard, I switched to the army after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In these unprecedented times, we face many threats to our democracy, and way of life. I knew It was time for me to serve again, this time the constituents of LD27. We have representatives who would rather enrich themselves financially, putting us and the next generation of Arizonans at risk. Our public schools are severely underfunded, individual reproductive freedoms are being attacked daily, and families no longer can afford to live in this state. It's time to make a change and ensure every Arizonan is represented in the state legislature. I have dedicated my life to serving the people of this country, and with our state facing unprecedented challenges, it has never been more important to me than now to step up. I'm ready to fight and build a future where children can get a world-class education, our families can thrive, and every Arizonan's voice is heard and represented.

You have three PROVEN conservatives running and I hope our records earn your votes. There is too much at stake to take even the smallest step left.

Chairman of Hometown Christmas Parade in Glendale. Involved in local charities and is a high school volleyball coach. Lisa and her husband Larry are the proud parents of six children. I'm a lifelong conservative Republican who has spent years on the front lines. That's why I was asked to run and why I'm eager to work with other Legislators to meet Arizona's challenges. Start with obvious stuff like fighting illegal immigration, improving our economy, and trying to bring down high inflation rates, prices on gas and food, and housing costs. We need to continue cleaning up our election process so that every voter can trust the results, no matter who wins. We need to protect school choice from liberal efforts to shut down Arizona's amazing charter schools and ESAs. We need to support our law enforcement and fight the scourge of fentanyl that is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. Then we get into other critical issues like health care, infrastructure, long term water planning, agriculture, looking after our veterans, and an abundant energy supply. I'm running with Kevin Payne and Tony Rivero and we will work as a team. It makes no sense to elect a conservative to vote right on an issue and someone else who cancels out that vote, so please cast your TWO State House votes for FINK AND RIVERO. Thank you!

I have worked tirelessly in both a professional and volunteer capacity to advocate on issues like affordable quality healthcare - especially women's reproductive care and abortion access - voting rights, and making sure our kids have quality public educational opportunities. As your State House Representative, I will listen to you and work with anyone, no matter their political affiliation, to make real improvements in the lives of all Arizonans. Voters in LD27 deserve a Representative who will listen, respect, and advocate for them every day on the real issues that impact their lives. I will be that Representative. I€˜m Deborah Howard and I've spent over forty years advocating for families and communities. I've advocated for affordable quality healthcare; good paying jobs; great public neighborhood schools; and expanding our freedoms through the ballot box - including support for the Arizona Abortion Access initiative to secure a woman's right to make her own reproductive healthcare choices, free from political or religious interference. My goal has always been to drive change that's beneficial and fair for all of us. It still is. The current MAGA majority in the legislature has repeatedly disrespected us - from wasting public funds investigating the last election to attacking our public schools and limiting our kids' futures. These representatives have not acted with our best interests at heart. They've ignored us. They've turned a budget surplus into a budget deficit. I'm running because enough is enough. As your State House Representative, I will listen to you and work with anyone - no matter their political affiliation - to make real improvements in the lives of all Arizonans.

https://www.tonyriveroforhouse.com
I grew up right here in Peoria, attended Peoria High School, Glendale Community College, and ASU where I earned a Bachelor's in Education and a Master's in Public Administration. As a Peoria City Councilman, I led the crusade against wasteful spending and high taxes. I was elected 3 times to the Arizona Legislature where I won awards from taxpayer and family groups. Then I returned to the private sector where I'm a successful small-business owner. I'm happily married, blessed with five great kids, and the only thing missing from my life is the Phoenix Suns winning an NBA championship. Several years ago, I served in the Arizona State House where I built a record of conservative achievement on economic issues, jobs, public safety, and fighting illegal immigration. After that, I returned to the private sector and my family. With both Ben Toma and Anthony Kern running for Congress, our district suddenly found itself with open seats and I was asked to run by conservatives who wanted to make sure our district would continue having Arizona First legislators at the Capital. So I agreed to run because we still have to fight and win the battle to secure our border, finish the wall, and repair the damage done by Joe Biden's reckless policies. We have to secure our elections and make the process transparent and trustworthy again. We need to ensure the West Valley gets its fair share of transportation and infrastructure funding. And we need to fight inflation and high interest rates and make Arizona an affordable state that works for everyone again. I won awards for my conservative record before and I'm ready to fight for you again. I'm running as a team with Lisa Fink and Kevin Payne and hope you'll support our team of proven conservatives.

Her husband is an architect in a Phoenix firm and her son and daughter graduated from Sandra Day O'Connor High School and NAU. She spends her time being very active in her church and with her family (and dog and cat!) I love Arizona. I don't love the divisiveness of the past few years. We need to work together to preserve the history and beauty of our great state while protecting the future for the next generations. We need to stop playing politics and need, instead, to prioritize policies that manage our resources wisely. There are better uses for our tax dollars than pursuing attacks on our elections. More children could be assured a quality education if vouchers were more carefully managed. We can attract more businesses to Arizona, and strengthen current businesses, with policies that provide a stable workforce - education, healthcare, and housing. We need to follow science in making decisions about water and land usage, instead of following those whose voices are loudest or whose donations are biggest. We need to ensure a free press and truthfulness of information. Ultimately, we need to choose whether we will bury our heads in the sand and trust that the rich and powerful who take over will be benevolent dictators, or we need to stand up for and protect the fragile idea called democracy. I choose the latter.

Later ran for office and has served as Majority Whip, as well as Chairman of several critical committees, including the Finance and Transportation Committees in the Senate, and both the Appropriations and Finance, Insurance & Banking Committees in the House. Married with two kids and three grandkids. Why am I considered one of Arizona's most reliably conservative legislators? Because I keep my promises and put taxpayers and families first. 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 helped lead the fight for real school choice and parental rights. I vote for medical freedom and am opposed to government mandates. As part of your Proven Conservative Team of Carroll, Livingston & Pingerelli, we are once again being challenged by Susan Black and the usual swamp creatures, but like I said when she ran against us in 2022,  "Bring it on! " I don't back down from what is right. I have opposed special interests, voted NO on bad bills, and was proud to be a delegate for Donald Trump at the RNC National Convention, so you know I don't scare easily. I'll keep doing what is right and ask you to cast your TWO State House votes for Livingston & Pingerelli. Arizona's Most Conservative Team. Thank you!

First person in my immediate family to graduate from college. Former school board member. Served as a Republican precinct and state committeeman since 2014. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences from Wayne State University and hold an American Society for Clinical Pathology Cytogenetics Certification, CG(ASCP)CM for Laboratory Personnel. I currently work full-time at Grand Canyon University as a Science Program Coordinator. I've also worked as a cytogenetics technologist at St. Joseph's Hospital's Molecular Medicine Laboratory. My husband Peter and I were married for 35 years before he recently passed, and we're blessed with two beautiful daughters, Kayla and Angela. My conservative beliefs remind me problems are best solved by applying the principles of limited government, and our solutions must respect our Constitutionally guaranteed rights. That's how I campaign and that's how I vote as your Representative. I've won awards for my conservative 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 continue to fight for secure elections, strong borders, 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 your Proven Conservative Team with State Senator Frank Carroll because we share conservative beliefs and are no-nonsense lawmakers who do what is right, no matter how powerful the special interest is on the other side. Turning back the Biden and Hobbs Administrations is not easy, but with your prayers and support we will continue this battle and keep Arizona a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Thank you!

I have been blessed to call Arizona home for over 30 years. I am a pro-life constitutional conservative, a happily married rancher's wife, bonus mom and Nana, a cowgirl, and a registered nurse. I answered the call to public service in 2022 because I knew we needed elected officials with backbone to safeguard and restore our liberties. My degrees include a B.S. in Molecular Biosciences & Biotechnology cum laude from Arizona State University and a B.S. in Nursing magna cum laude from Grand Canyon University. I have kept my promises and will continue to fight for you! I'm a true constitutional conservative, wife, bonus mom, cowgirl, and Registered Nurse, serving my first term in the State Senate. I ran as part of the Proven Conservative Team of Shamp,Montenegro and Smith and I want you to know that we have kept our promises and worked hard on the issues that matter to you and our great state. Secure borders, secure elections, good jobs, trying to reverse the damage the Biden and Hobbs administrations are doing to our economies, fighting inflation and high prices, protecting private property rights, school choice, doing right by our veterans and first responders, restoring your medical freedom, looking after our water supply, and more. I wrote the Senate version of the  "Arizona Border Invasion Act " and led the Legislature's investigation into pandemic abuses and how to do better in the future. I also wrote legislation to target child sex offenders and protect our kids from those seeking to exploit them. We know the battle is long and we will keep working hard for you until the battle is won. And we thank you for your continued prayers and support!

Eric Stafford
State Senator - District 29
Democratic
https://www.stafford4az.com/
Eric Stafford is a 26 year old AZ native, certificated airframe and powerplant mechanic, and machinist. His passion for service and desire to make a difference led him to work as a veterinary technician, political organizer, and now; a candidate, running to serve AZ in public office. Eric believes in politics that supports working-class people, makes it easier for us to pay the bills and support our families, and advocates for keeping dark money and corporations out of our politics. The reason I am running for office is simple. I am frustrated with the state of American politics, and I see a lot of room for change and improvement. I see two parties hellbent on playing defense against their own team, and politicians who care more about looking good to their voters instead of passing policies that are actually good for us. Many young people are not optimistic about our future, pride in our nation seems to be at an all-time-low, and Americans are being led to believe that people that do not agree with their political opinions should be labeled as their enemies. We all want safe borders, affordable healthcare, clean food and water, quality education, and free and fair elections. I am running to use my self for good, and to be a champion for the people who work hard, and want their taxes to feel like they are coming back home to roost. Corruption is fixable, fairness is attainable, and one day I want to see a future where we all can afford to own our own homes, and to be able to afford to go on a vacation once or twice a year.

He and his wife Melissa will celebrate their 13th Anniversary this year. Melissa is a Charter School Administrator and they have two beautiful daughters (Addy and Emmy). Thank you for this opportunity to serve you! And on behalf of our great Shamp, Smith & Montenegro team, I want you to know we've been keeping our campaign promises to you. We have perfect 100% pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-taxpayer voting records, and we have won recognition and awards from pro-taxpayer and pro-family groups, like the Friend of the Family award that each of us won. Speaking for myself, I wrote the House version of the  "Arizona Border Invasion Act " that mirrors the bill Senator Shamp ran in the State Senate, I wrote the bill to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations so we could better combat them and their tactics, I wrote legislation to protect our kids, and also a ballot initiative to do away with Affirmative Action and get government out of the discrimination business once and for all. I continue to serve as a Pastor and also work with national organizations to improve election integrity and ballot security efforts across the country. We'll keep trying to do what is right and on behalf of our team, as well as my incredible wife and two wonderful girls, thank you for your prayers, support, and vote!

Growing up in poverty and facing odds, she persevered to graduate as Valedictorian from Alhambra H.S. Her educational journey continued with a BA in Political Science and International Relations and a Master's in Public Administration. Elected to the Alhambra ESD Board in 2016, she topped the polls.

This achievement underscores my commitment to education and public service-even under the most challenging circumstances. As the Director of Fuerza Local, I have led initiatives that significantly bolster Latino small business owners, enhancing our local economies and fostering sustainable development across Arizona.

We moved to Arizona in 2001 where I served the people and community over ten years as a high school science teacher. Preserving Democracy The popular vote, one citizen - one vote, should determine the outcome of elections. I support open primaries/ rank choice voting. Eliminates partisan primaries, voters may vote for whoever they want regardless of party. Prevents any candidate from being  "primaried out ". A Woman's Right With all the debates between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice it comes down to one truth, it is the pregnant woman who must endure all that comes with a pregnancy. Carrying a fetus to term should be her decision and hers alone. No government, no community, no institution has the right to force her to have a baby. The right to life, liberty, and freedoms are afforded to all in our country. To force a woman to bear a child against her will is slavery. We abolished slavery over 150 years ago. I am and have always been for a woman's right to choose and that choice should be unconditional. A woman's body, her domain, Her Choice. Amend the constitution for all women to have unconditional freedom of Choice. I run to secure our Democracy and the right of every woman to make their own decisions about their health without obstacles.

Hildy Angius
State Senator - District 30

Originally from New York, Hildy moved to Arizona in 2005. With a background in marketing and communications, Hildy worked for Showtime/The Movie Channel, the Society for Computer Simulation and LG Wireless. In 2002 she opened an Art Studio called  "Masterpieces, Paint your Own " and developed a profound understanding and respect for small business owners. After moving to Bullhead City with her late husband, Sam, Hildy combined her life-long passion for politics and her desire to help others into her current position as a three term Mohave County Supervisor. As Chairman of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, I cut the tax rate and balanced our county budget. Today, our tax rate is lower than when I took office because I demand fiscal responsibility and govern with a steady hand. I led the charge to declare Mohave County a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County, the first in Arizona. Because of our work, Arizona is now a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary State. After learning the Arizona State Legislature passed a bill that was aimed at Mohave County, I worked with our Republican Attorney General to have the law declared unconstitutional, saving taxpayers $800,000. In 2014, when federal bureaucrats illegally ended a 50-year trout stocking program that would have destroyed our economy, I battled the unelected bureaucrats - and won! - which earned me the top award from Arizona Game and Fish. I brought drug, alcohol, and mental health treatment services to Bullhead City, and helped secure millions of dollars for community facilities and housing. Today, Bullhead has a 16-bed women's treatment facility named Hildy's House, which has helped hundreds of women recover to live happy, productive lives. I am the only candidate with proven, conservative experience and record of accomplishment. Learn more:hildy4az.com

Ashley Gerich has lived in Mohave county for 30 years where she grew up, then moved on to raise her children there. She has her bachelors in Organizational Leadership from Arizona State University. She then moved on to receive her Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law. Ashley has had a passion for helping her community and helping others. She has been an active advocate for the justice system, working with victims of crimes, and helping combat drugs in the County. She has a Ranch in Golden Valley, Arizona and Resides in Bullhead City Arizona. I have heard one too many times from my representative,  "I am training my replacement. " Well, I think we need to do better, WE the people get to decide who to vote for, not our politicians. I have been fighting against smoke-filled rooms for over 5 years. I've put in thousands of hours politically and in that time working with many of our legislators. What I have learned is this; we get responses, not actions. I'm here to work for YOU. We need to remember who decides. The Constitution has allowed us many freedoms and each election cycle we see them stripped away a little at a time. Stand with me and fight against more government control. This is a grassroots movement to remove the good ole boys and take back OUR state. Border security, county autonomy, school autonomy, less government, and less taxes! Let's not forget representing our Constitution, the most important document, freedom of speech, freedom to bear arms, and right to privacy. Vote for me, and together let's take back our state and our country. Please remember your vote and voice matter, let's remind them who they work for!

J'aime MorgAine
State Senator - District 30
Democratic
https://www.realchange4ld30.com/
J'aime MorgAine is a first time property owner concerned about water sustainability (and her property value dropping to zero when the Hualapai aquifer runs dry, possibly in 40 years), she is a US Army veteran fighting for homeless veterans and veterans caught in dysfunctional guardian/conservatorships, and she is a woman who is more than just angry that her 19th Amendment voting rights are the only constitutional protections afforded women by the US Constitution. Water is life. Without water, nothing else matters. And the current "local control" of our groundwater (with legislative pressure for "Rural Management Areas") only serves to protect interests of developers and corporations, NOT the interests of individual property owners. I run to protect our water for people and property owners. As a veteran living with PTSD, I fight for homeless veterans who fall through the cracks because I know what living with undiagnosed and untreated PTSD does to a life. I run to fight for legislation that protects veterans' rights and mandates veteran resources in every county. And yes, women's right have come a long way, but our constitutional protections have not. And while a women's right to abortion access and access to purchase firearms may seem disconnected, they are actually two sides of the same coin of equal constitutional protection. FACT: The US Constitution applied to white, male, property owners. FACT: The 2nd Amendment applied to men. FACT: The only amendment that explicitly protects women's rights is the 19th Amendment. I run to fight for the same constitutional protections for women that rich white men have enjoyed since the United States was founded. I ask for your support and your vote.

But I've followed through and protected our Conservative Values: From making Arizona a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary State, to adding life in prison for child sex crimes, to allowing Arizona law enforcement to arrest and prosecute human smugglers, to making Arizona a flat income tax state, I have delivered. When Lake Havasu and Bullhead City needed Highway 95 repaved, I got it done. When Wickenburg needed money to help with their Fire Station, I got it done. When the Mohave County Sheriff's Department needed to replace 40+ year-old substations, I got it done. When Kingman needed a bypass at Highway 93/I-11 and Beal St., I got it done. As your State Representative, I listen to the people, I fight hard for rural Arizona, and I have the best teammates in Senator Borrelli, former Representative Cobb, and now Representative Gillette. When you have a solid team, and you put the people first, it's amazing what you can accomplish. I'm Pro-Life, Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro-Veterans, Pro-Law Enforcement, and Pro-America First!

With my military experience as a Command Sergeant Major, I bring a strong sense of duty, leadership, and commitment to upholding our conservative values.

Monica Timberlake
State Representative - District 30
Democratic
Monica Timberlake is a valued member of the Quartzsite community, a local Realtor, and the senior most governing board member for Quartzsite Elementary District, with over 14 years of service. She was chosen by leaders across Arizona to be the current President of the Rural Alliance for the AZ School Boards Association, amplifying her commitment to education and community development. As a Flinn Brown Fellow and a Project Centrl Alum, she advocates for our entire state. She was a Quartzsite town council member, chaired various town and community boards, and was a Director for the Quartzsite Area Chamber of Commerce. I decided to run because representation matters and rural Arizona needs strong leaders to advocate for the needs of our local communities. I'm a current school board member and have seen our education funding be stripped year after year. Our students do not have the same access and opportunities as their urban counterparts. As a rural community leader, I have seen water issues be ignored for decades. It's time for our water to be protected for our children and our children's children. Lack of access to health care and other critical services effect the quality of life for many. Our rural communities fundamentally need resources: a foundation, and support system that creates sustainable growth for the future. You zipcode shouldnt determine your quality of life. As a proud mother of two incredible young adults, and a grandmother, I think about our future generations every day. It's important to protect our families and their choices by supporting policies and resources that protect women's health, and establish wrap-around services for our rural communities. I'm passionate, dedicated, and actively involved. I am fully committed to improving the lives of all Arizonans. I respectfully ask for your support and your vote.
