The way I see it, the American dream is a combination of working hard, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps every day, but also reaching out to help those who need a hand. That's certainly been the story of my life. That's the story of America. I owe a large debt to my country. I got my shot and now it's my duty to help others get their shot. When people ask why I want to serve in the United States Senate, well that’s easy. I want to do more for my country. I have the chance to change things in our country and help Arizonans every day. Our nation is facing a lot of problems right now, but we can fix these problems if we work together. It's time to put our country ahead of party, ahead of politics. It's time to stop fighting and look for common ground. It’s time for us to stand up and answer the call. We can change a broken Washington and make it work again. I’m running for the United States Senate because I’m not giving up on the American Dream. I hope you'll join our campaign: KyrstenSinema.com

Let's make America Green again because it was already great! What that means is, it’s time to go back to the basics. It’s time for us as individuals to become accountable for our space here on this earth. We need to take the time out of our daily routines and pay attention to what our government is telling us versus what they are doing. And being that we are all hard working American’s just trying to make a decent living, feed our families, have the best healthcare, medicines and food our country has to offer. We need to have equality in housing, employment and most of all healthcare. I want to see immigration laws that make sense. I, too, am an immigrant. That is why I support programs like DACA and laws that make it easier and more efficient for immigrants coming here to become valuable citizens in our society. I want to be the voice of the PEOPLE again, not the politics. Let's show the world how American’s can embrace the “melting pot’ theory with grace and dignity. Remember, WE are the UNITED States of America!

Barry Hess is the Governor Arizona needs to take us forward, and out of the rut we've been in since Napolitano's reign. He is the only real, principle-driven libertarian candidate. He is above party politics and instead chooses to run on the principles he will apply in office. This is the 5th time that Mr. Hess has offered his gifts to serve the People of Arizona. He knows the players, and how things really work behind closed doors in our State. Barry has earned the respect of all parties and politicians in Arizona by making clear statements, and being the only candidate in the running to have never 'flip-flopped' on an issue. He believes that the State's sole purpose is to protect the rights and property of all of Arizona's citizens equally, and is committed to drastically cutting the budget; getting the State out of matters where it has no constitutional authority; solving the 'immigration' debate; holding the State accountable for damages from overreach; stabilizing Arizona's economy; completely de-criminalizing marijuana; and is dedicated to eliminating ALL direct taxation (i.e. personal income and property taxes) and filing requirements for ALL Arizonans.

Fellow Arizonans, I am a retired United States Submarine Qualified Sailor fortunate enough to have participated in Freedom of Navigation Expedition’s throughout Our World in your Service. I have also trained thousands of Patriots in other Service uniforms on the use of equipment to execute efficient warfare. The Mission of returning government into the hands of We The People is close at hand. It will be accomplished by teaming up with Great Americans, regardless of party affiliation, not continuing to blindly following those who are considered great within their affiliated party. I went to The Public Library in Sierra Vista, Arizona on 16AUG18 to see if Thomas Paine’s book “Common Sense” was available. I was told it was not in circulation. It will be available as soon as the courier can obtain it. I hope this illustrates a bit of my motivation to seek elected office. I volunteer to assist in “Draining the Swamp”. Based upon my unique life experiences I am Qualified for this line of work that will require significant effort and sacrifice by all. Please learn how to spell my name if you feel I can suitability represent you in the US Senate. Regards, Michael DeCarlo

Insanity is to do the same thing and expect different results. How long must we elect "Republican" or "Democrat" before we come to the realization that it isn't working? Yet what different can we do? The system is set and it's too big to create a third party. We must first change how we think, and change our behavior. I offer a plan to promote, and an opportunity to do something different. Vote for a write-in candidate. As a bold incentive, I commit that if elected I will seek the party leadership position of the Senate. The leadership they have now is ineffective. About me, I work. I am a truck driver and must work to provide. I can't campaign like I would like to, that is why I started my youtube channel. You can also contact me at my email, [email protected].

As a former law enforcement officer and business owner, Congressman Tom O'Halleran has seen firsthand the issues impacting communities, families, and entrepreneurs, and he has always worked to find commonsense solutions that deliver lasting change. He took those experiences and delivered for Arizona families as a state lawmaker in the Arizona House of Representatives and Senate and as the United States congressman for Arizona’s First Congressional District. As a public servant, he has built a reputation for taking on tough challenges and finding bipartisan commonsense solutions. For example, Tom led the charge to reform Arizona’s dysfunctional Child Protective Services during his time in the state legislature, and he succeeded in securing funding for all-day kindergarten and education and university research in the budget. As a U.S. Congressman, Tom is a leader on issues impacting Indian Country and rural America, and he is focused on economic development opportunities across Arizona. He works closely with Republicans and Democrats alike on the Problem Solvers Caucus to invest in skills training and education opportunities for future generations of Arizonans, address the opioid epidemic that devastates rural communities, and improve health care access for Arizona veterans.

His 10 years as Head of Primary Care at the Veterans Administration, dealing with medical policy, ensuring coverage for veterans, and budget issues positions him as a leading medical resource to Congress at a time where his expertise is needed the most. His years as an entrepreneur make him keenly aware how difficult it can be to start, grow and sustain businesses in a global marketplace. It’s one thing to work for a company, but another altogether to build one from scratch. David can talk the language of business growth based upon first-hand experience. “I am running for Congress to represent all voters in CD4. I am running to represent high school seniors as well as senior citizens; veterans and civilians; patients and doctors; small farm owners and large industries. I believe the “cut and spend” approach to government has failed and it is paramount that we create a Congress that can work together for the benefit of the all people of this country.”

As an Arizonan and an avid follower of politics I found it unconscionable that no Republican was on the ballot. I believe in minimum taxation by the Federal government and I believe in maximizing the potential of all citizens by protecting our freedom from government overreach. For too long we have been told to fear each other, we are expected to conform to the groups we are designated as being. I believe in we the people. We have a responsibility to take back control from the career politicians. How can the government be by, of and for the people if the same people are elected year, after year, after year? I hear people complain all the time about what the government does or does not do, I believe WE need to step up and take back the reins from those whose personal interests always seem to come before the people’s interest. I am running as a write-in candidate and realize the long odds I face. I had no idea no Republicans were contesting the incumbent for the District 7 seat. I'm ashamed of my ignorance of this fact and only upon seeing the ballot was I aware of the situation.

I have studied under two of the economists who foresaw the great financial crisis of 2008 and have innovated and advanced their theories with two basic policies that will accomplish a new paradigm in the economy, and will also enable us to integrate the best economic aspects of the agendas of both of the major political parties.

My name is Angel Torres, and I'm the Green Party candidate for Governor. I graduated from Arizona State University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication, and have worked in the airline industry for the past 31 years. I'm a member and union steward for Teamsters Local 104. I have been a registered Green Party voter for 26 years, and have served as the state chairperson of the Arizona Green Party (AZGP) since 2004. Campaign Priorities: 1) STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMY: Organize workers into the union of their choice, and use the purchasing power of our anchor institutions (hospitals and universities) to create community-based, worker-owned cooperatives. 2) FULLY-FUND K-12 PUBLIC EDUCATION: Ensure that the wealthy and corporations pay their "FAIR SHARE" in taxes, so that we can give our teachers and staff a much-needed pay raise. We need to be FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE with every tax dollar we spend. 3) HEALTH CARE IS FREEDOM: Promote naturopathic medicine, and other alternative modalities, as a way to LOWER health care costs, and IMPROVE health outcomes. For more information about my campaign, please visit my website: https://www.torresforarizona.com/. I respectfully request your vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Thank you.

The two major parties do not adequately represent the people in all areas. That's were I enter the political landscape in Arizona. Good day, my name is Cary D. Dolego. I am a 55 year Arizona Resident. I hold a bachelors degree in BIS from Arizona State University, and two AA degrees in Public Administration and Customer Service from Rio Salado College. I am a former 15 year employee with the Arizona Department of Economic Security and I am currently employed by The Home Depot Inc. I am in touch with the needs of Arizona and as Governor I will work to represent all the people without bias and without preference to special interests. Most importantly I believe any political holder of a government office should be limited to a maximum of 2 terms.

This may be the most important election you ever vote in, although other candidates aren't even mentioning why. As Arizona Governor it will be my duty to steer us through today's issues like border safety and equality, school safety, educational excellence and ensuring wealthy corporations pay their fair share. Yet even more importantly, it will my job to ensure that Arizonans have a future! To secure this we must enact a plan to directly remove carbon from our atmosphere. Even the most optimistic computer models show that around 2035, Earth will establish “new normals”, exponentially-escalating climate events. For example, melting ice releasing vast methane deposits and disrupting ocean currents vital for distributing Earth's heat. I am uniquely prepared to lead us through this Climate Emergency. I have trained with groups of foremost researchers and theorists in the climate field. There is a viable, safe, field-tested plan called Ocean Assisted Carbon Capture which begins with retrofitting our 24 fossil fuel driven power plants with carbon removal technology. Arizona can be in the forefront of restoring our climate ,but that means electing a Governor who will fight not just for today, but for our future!

I’m also a Conservative Republican, an elected GOP precinct committeeman, and I'm proud to serve as a Major in the United States Air Force JAG Corps Reserve. Throughout my private-sector career, from ice-skating rinks to homebuilding and waste management to finance, I’ve been a proponent of free markets and smaller government. Clean water and affordable power are key to Arizona’s economic future and my background in water and natural resource management uniquely qualify me for this office. I’m the only candidate with a plan to restore integrity to Arizona’s scandal-filled commission. I’ve proposed adoption of the Arizona Code of Judicial Conduct which is the exact same code of ethics adopted by the Arizona Supreme Court and followed by every judge in Arizona. I lead by example and that’s why I‘m not accepting campaign contributions from the regulated utilities or their lobbyists. Arizona’s regulators must put integrity first and protect ratepayers. As a conservative Republican I’m pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-secure borders, and as the only Veteran running for Corporation Commission I take my oath to defend our Constitution very seriously.

First elected to the House of Representatives in 2010 on a platform of smaller government, lower taxes, and more freedom, Olson exemplifies what it means to be a citizen legislator. Unlike the career politicians who often become out-of-touch with needs and concerns of their constituents, Olson has always held full-time employment in the private sector while serving his constituents as a lawmaker. Working in a demanding career as a tax analyst has kept Olson grounded in the day-to-day realities of earning a paycheck, putting food on the table and working within the laws that misguided politicians too often create. This perspective has led Olson to successfully advocate legislation to decrease the burden that government places on families, small businesses and individuals. Olson’s commitment to conservative principles has led nearly every conservative organization in Arizona to rate him as one of the very best of the state’s legislators. Those recognitions include “Champion of the Taxpayer” by American’s for Prosperity, an “A” rating by the National Rifle Association, and a “Champion of Small Business” by the National Federation of Independent Business. Justin is a lifelong resident of Mesa where he and his wife, Karyn, are currently raising their children.

Sandra Kennedy was elected in 2008 with more than a million votes to the Corporation Commission on a platform of promoting solar energy in Arizona, and as a fierce consumer advocate. In 2013, Kennedy made headlines when she was the first to sound the alarm about the growing culture of corruption at the Commission when she formally challenged Commission Chair Gary Pierce about APS helping run his son for Secretary of State. Sandra ran for Corporation Commission in 2014, and was narrowly defeated when millions of dollars in dark money ads were used to defeat her. Sandra started her public service when she was elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in November 1986, where she served for six years before successfully becoming a state senator in 1992. She served three terms as state senator. While she was serving in the legislature, Sandra was elected to serve on the Phoenix Union High School Governing Board for a four year term in 1990.

Northeastern Arizona is an ideal location to lead the way while making certain that Arizona's education system, including that of our tribal schools, leads the world in knowledge, truth and S.T.E.A.M.* skill-sets. (*Science, *Technology, *Engineering, *Arts, *Math). We must make future generations stronger/smarter. As an Arizona Senator, I will show up with ideas to better my constituents and Arizona. Work with me to do something good and profitable for the people in Northeastern Arizona rather than the usual elected lawmaker's plan of wasting time in committee rooms full of cronyism.

It has been my privilege to represent you in the Arizona State Legislature. I have lived in Arizona my entire life and have operated a farm and small business for many years. My wife is an educator. My son was born and raised here; the grandchildren live here too. In meetings with thousands of ordinary people in our district, they have told me about their concerns and I take them very seriously. Three issues have repeated come up - education, jobs, and public safety. I have made working on these issues my number one priority at the legislature. I will continue to work to make our communities safe through adequate police and fire protection, continue my efforts to improve educational opportunities for all and to get better teacher pay and more resources into the class room. I have received a lot of recognition for playing an important role in putting policies in place that attract jobs to rural Arizona. I will continue to work for policies to create more and better jobs. You have my word that l will always put you and your family first in the State Legislature. I would be honored to receive your vote.

Face the facts: Arizona’s government is controlled by lobbyists and not the voters! Over the past decade, the GOP has dominated every aspect of government. During that time their every effort has been directed by deep pocket lobbyists. Their actions speak for themselves: They’ve brought public education to the brink of crises. They’ve given us an economy rated worst among the 9 western states. They’re working to put Arizona’s 30 year record of water conservation at risk. They’ve bullied cities across the state that dare to practice democracy. I propose a new and bold direction for Arizona. My plan prioritizes Arizona’s families and small businesses. We can fully fund public education using commonsense fiscal policies. Investing in education and innovative industries will energize our economy. Environmental protection of public lands, clean air and water along with renewable energy can’t be left to profit seekers. Ethical government is possible only with the election of people of integrity. Arizona can be a leader but first we need new leadership. I’m a proven leader and Clean Elections Candidate who will make Arizona’s families my top priority! Visit my website: Atchue4AZSenate.com

My name is Elizabeth Brown and I come from a family of public school educators. I learned the value of public education and I want my grandchildren and all children to have the same opportunity. I am running for the State Senate because being ranked 48th in K-12 Education, 49th in pupil teacher ratio and 50th in teacher pay is a travesty, an embarrassment and is unacceptable for the people of this state. Our state can do better than this. We live in the Valley of the Sun. In Maricopa County we have 296 days of sun. We can make it easier for people to have solar power at affordable rates. I was Girl Scout Leader. In Girl Scouts we taught how to conserve water and learn how to take care of the environment. We need legislators who are willing to pass laws that will help protect our air, water and land. As a former educator, Girl Scout leader,an employee for the Democratic Party, governor's office and State Senate, I have learned to listen to and work with others and I have learned the value of compromise.These three things are essential in being an effective legislator.

It has been my honor to serve as your State Senator. While everyone campaigns as a conservative, I can offer my actual conservative record, which is pro-taxpayer, pro-family, pro-life, and pro-Constitution. My focus continues to be limiting the size of our government while ensuring that what it must do, it does as well as possible. My family owns and operates a 4th generation dairy farm in Buckeye and our Arizona roots are deep in the soil. I’m grateful for the support of so many in our district, both in Maricopa and Yuma County, and I’m hard at work on the various concerns we have, from water to transportation to classroom funding to school safety to lower taxes to border security to protecting our 2nd Amendment rights, I’m going to keep working on all of it. God has truly blessed our country and our state but it is our responsibility to protect them both. Arizona is a national leader in job growth, school choice, educational improvement, and regulatory freedom. I ask for your vote and I promise to continue my work as a reliable conservative.

We need leaders we can trust. Leaders who put the needs of the voters above their own interests. We’ve got real issues in this state. We deserve someone with the courage to face them head-on. Public school funding and educator pay is just one example. But those issues aren’t going to be addressed as long as out-of-state special interests and corporate lobbyists have more influence than the voters do. I intend to take on those issues, starting with corruption and conflict of interest in our state government, and make Arizona politics accountable to voters again. I grew up in Buckeye. Four generations of my family live here in Arizona. This is my home and I want it to be a place that allows all Arizonans to feel welcome, to prosper and succeed. For 21 years, I served my country in the Air Force. I’ve served in my community since then. I hope to serve you. Whether it’s jobs and wages, access to healthcare, extreme drought, or the desperate state of public education, these issues affect me and my family, just like yours. It’s personal. I’m asking for your vote so we can build a better Arizona together.

I was honored to serve you in the State House, where I was named Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, earned an A+ from the NRA, turned our state’s budget deficit into a surplus, and helped turn Arizona into the #1 pro-life, #1 pro-2nd Amendment, and #1 pro-school choice state in the country, all while cutting regulations and growing jobs. As a result of my leadership I was elected House Majority Leader and ultimately elected Speaker of the House, giving rural and Southern Arizona real influence, and making myself a top target of the liberal media and their fake news. With my longtime Senate seatmate Gail Griffin now running for the House, I’ve been asked to run for the State Senate to ensure that we keep a proven conservative in this important office. Like before, I promise to fight the left, defend what’s right, and give you my all, because I know how important the people's liberties and freedoms I fight for are. On behalf of my wife, my kids, and every one of the great volunteers helping in this effort, I ask for your vote on August 28th, so we can win this fight together! God Bless!

As a retired auditor I have the skills and insight to understand financial statements and budgets. Professional standards obligated us to serve and honor the public interest and trust. Working for the Army over 30 years I knew my customer was the soldier in the foxhole, in the Senate my focus will be district constituents. The Army ethos and values I learned in the Marine Corps have never failed me. I bring those values and business acumen to the district. I’m running for office because our Legislature has failed us. Our future is our children and grandchildren. When public school system funding is constantly cut and voter approved propositions are ignored it’s time for change. The Voter Protection Act is trampled on and incumbents put their donors above constituents. Incumbents enacted legislation to hide their donors by legislating “dark money” and they overreach into city and county business. We need to stop this extreme ideology that doesn’t reflect our values. We need to i) restore public education, ii) rollback state government overreach, and, iii) cleanup the State Capitol - let’s bring back the trust and values – vote for me.

Over the past 8 years, we balanced the state budget, cut taxes and put Arizona back on track! As Chair of the Health Committee, I successfully sponsored healthcare reforms to provide a more transparent and cost-effective healthcare system. I worked with patient advocacy groups to ensure that we receive world-class medical care in Arizona. As a former PVUSD teacher, Clinical Associate Professor at ASU, I have reduced government regulations and unfunded mandates to allow our schools to be more innovative, efficient and effective. I supported appropriating more money to our public schools, which enabled our teachers and school staff to receive raises. I also support school choice. I am a proud Second Amendment supporter, I am pro-life, and support policies to address illegal immigration and keep our community safe. Recognized as a top legislator, I am endorsed by, and won awards, from many organizations that promote conservative economic principles and strong family values. In 2013, I received the prestigious Copper Shield Veteran’s Award for my work and commitment to veteran issues. Most importantly, I am a mom, wife and daughter and I hope to earn your vote!

I grew up in the Midwest and have lived in Arizona for more than seven years. I'm the father of three wonderful children. I've also owned a small business for over 20 years. My mother and father were both lifetime educators. I've volunteered in our schools and worked as a substitute teacher as a way to give back. In 2015, I started a crowd-funder to raise awareness about the problems in our schools. My values center around education for our children, leadership, family and friends, and philanthropy (simply doing what's right). I feel the need to represent those who are under-represented in our state, such as children, teachers and the blue-collar worker. I also think we can do better when it comes to healthcare. For far too long, our educational system has been broken, our teachers and laborers underpaid, and few options when it comes to healthcare. If elected, I aim to fix these problems in our great state of Arizona.

As your State Representative I authored laws that directed more educational dollars into classrooms, created the Address Confidentiality Program for survivors of domestic violence and sexual offenses, helped employees who are owed wages, and promoted veteran-friendly college campuses. I won Guardian of Small Business, Champion of the Taxpayer, and Friend of the Family awards, and many others, and was subsequently honored to be elected Speaker of the House. Little did I know I'd be tasked with shepherding our Legislature through an historic time that included emotional debates over education funding and teacher pay, a high-profile case of sexual harassment, and more. Yet we passed good balanced budgets that reduced tax burdens while increasing school funding and dramatically boosting teacher pay by 20%. We also wrote groundbreaking policies to ensure personal conduct by legislators is held to the high standards the public deserves. With Steve Yarbrough retiring I’m asking for your vote to continue this important work in the State Senate. If elected I will continue to keep an open door, put my constituents first, and use my diverse background that includes husband, professor and small business owner with master's degrees in both business and public administration to deliver for you.

I’m running because I care about you and want to build a better future for all of us! I've spent a lifetime helping people all over the world, including right here in Arizona. Whether it was rescuing an infant from a remote pacific island and rushing her to the United States for open-heart surgery or delivering food to starving people in Somalia, I have dedicated my life to caring for and protecting others. I care about education, and brought the Southwest Airlines Adopt-A-Pilot program to the Kyrene School District, reducing teacher workload. I also personally founded a Dollars for Scholars chapter here locally, reducing the cost of college education for hundreds of public high school students in our community. Others talk about the things they believe in, I do them. I am bilingual and son of an immigrant who watched his mother become a naturalized citizen. Connie and I have two wonderful daughters in public-school–scholar athletes–and we couldn't be prouder parents. Others will tell you what they believe, I can only say: this is who I am. I care about you. Education, healthcare and your safety are my priorities, and I humbly ask for your vote.

I’m honored to serve you. When I campaigned as a conservative I meant it. I’ve received the Guardian of Small Business; Friend of the Family; Hero of the Taxpayer and Champion of the Taxpayer awards, and an “A” rating from the American Conservative Union. My priorities remain: protecting life, protecting taxpayers, job creation, improving education through increased classroom funding and increasing teacher pay, and keeping our children safe from online predators. These last two sessions alone we’ve passed real balanced budgets, cut taxes, increased funding for school facilities, dramatically increased teacher pay, rolled back job-killing regulations, and watched as Arizona became one of the top job-producing states in the country. I’ve supported efforts to secure our border (that means building a wall!), to stop ObamaCare, and to give parents a greater say in the education of their children. I’m proud of endorsements I’ve received from County Attorney Bill Montgomery, former US Senator Jon Kyl, and groups like Arizona Right to Life, the NRA, the Fraternal Order of Police, and many others, but the endorsement I want the most is yours!

Wendy Garcia founded Indivisible Surprise and organized Save Our Schools in the Northwest Valley. She is an experienced radio news director, fearless activist, grass roots leader, and mother. She knows the importance of protecting vulnerable people’s rights. Special interest groups corrupt Arizona with too much money. Politicians don’t pay attention to everyday people. To restore democracy Wendy will protect voter rights and support publicly funded elections (as a “Clean Elections” candidate). U.S. education statistics rank Arizona’s schools in the bottom 10%. To improve student and school achievement, Wendy will fight for resources and better qualified teachers. Strong public schools protect democracy for “we the people” by teaching citizenship. Quality public schools also teach effective job skills. Healthcare must be affordable and accessible to everyone in Arizona. Wendy supports expanding Medicaid in Arizona with prescription coverage. Arizona’s economy relies upon Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, Copper, and Climate. To increase jobs and grow the Northwest Valley, Wendy advocates for developing Construction, Conservation, and Computer industries. Wendy will serve “by and for the people” of District 22 to restore democracy, improve public schools, expand healthcare coverage, and increase good paying jobs.

PUT COMMON SENSE BACK ON THE TABLE Ideology is a fine starting point for government legislation, but it can never be an endpoint. Yet, that has been the goal of both major parties for almost two decades. As a result, we've ended up with legislation that is piecemeal or worse. Independents can change that. Because we're not bound by any party's ideology, we can integrate the best ideas from all parties when crafting legislation. It’s not a foreign idea. Whether we're choosing employment benefits, putting an investment portfolio together, or just making a fruit salad, Americans intuitively combine elements to maximize taste, ROI, and advantage. Arizonans don't need another party or ideology to effect change. We only need to elect Independents. I've been an Independent since 1994. I have two master's degrees, one in Business and one in Communications. I had a successful career with H.R. Block and worked for nearly two years at the Arizona House of Representatives. I come with a clean slate and a passion for good government. Put common sense back on the table and elect me to be your next State Senator.

LD 24 deserves a voice. For too long the same permanent politicians have failed to listen...failed to keep the promises the made at election time then seemed to forget once in office. It is long past time for change. I have fought for Arizona families my entire life. Now it is time to take that fight to the Capitol. Arizona is a beautiful state full of opportunity. I was raised here. I started my business here. I believe in Arizona...and I believe in you. Now believe in me as I make sure your voice is heard in the Legislature. You will not be disappointed.

For the past 8 years, I have represented LD 24 in the AZ House of Representatives, and it would be my honor to serve as the AZ State Senator for LD 24 in the 54th Legislative Session. Throughout my career as a lawmaker, I have championed our public schools and universities, advocated on behalf of our most vulnerable communities and worked to find common ground with my colleagues and pragmatic solutions to the challenges confronting our state. Accessible and affordable public education that prepares Arizona's young people for 21st Century careers, improving the lives of children and families and defending the civil rights of all of Arizona's citizens will continue to be my priorities, should I be elected to represent LD 24 in the Arizona State Senate. I am a native Arizonan and the proud product of our public-school system, from kindergarten to graduate school. I believe in the potential of our young people and Arizona, which is why I want to continue working for the people of our great state as LD 24's State Senator.

As senator in LD25, I will ensure child welfare, clean air, high public education standards, the mitigation of mass incarceration and recidivism. Conservative family values, economic opportunity within LD25, and the defense and application of the Constitution of the United States are paramount to the success, sustainability and well-being of LD25 community members. I am running for office as a concerned mother, child health advocate and champion of civil rights. I taught English as a Second Language in Mesa Public Schools prior to my long-standing career in behavioral health. Mis preocupaciones primarias son bienestar del niño, aire limpio, altos estándares de la educación pública, la mitigación del encarcelamiento de tantas personas y reducción del recidivism. Los valores conservadores de la familia, la oportunidad económica dentro de LD25, y la defensa y la utilización de la constitución de los Estados Unidos son supremos al éxito, al sustainability y al bienestar de nuestros miembros de la comunidad. Estoy intentando para la oficina del senado porque soy una madre preocupada del bienestar y salud de los niños y luchadora de las derechas civiles. Enseñé inglés como segunda idioma en escuelas públicas del Mesa antes de mi carrera de muchos años en salud mental.

State Representative Noel Campbell's entire career has been spent in service to our country: first as a Navy pilot who flew combat missions in Vietnam, then as a U.S. Customs agent working on the Mexican border, and finally as a helicopter and tanker pilot fighting fires for the U.S. Forest Service. During his career, Rep. Campbell learned the values of teamwork and cooperation; qualities he certainly took to the Capitol with him. In his first term, he sponsored H.B. 2107 which gave cities and towns permissive authority to regulate structured sober living homes -- a problem which plagued the City of Prescott for more than a decade. It passed with overwhelmingly bi-partisan support in both Houses and was signed by Governor Ducey. Rep. Campbell looks forward to continuing to serve the constituents of LD-1 this next legislative session as chairman of the Transportation Committee.

As a small businessman, I've spent my life in the private sector, creating jobs and economic growth. As a civic activist, I've been a taxpayer advocate, standing up to liberal politicians who want to raise taxes and grow government. Now, after my first term in the State House, I can point to my record cutting taxes, boosting classroom funding and teacher pay, reducing regulation, and promoting Arizona's status as a top job creating state. It's been great to work with State Representative Noel Campbell. Our district has been well served by having a strong team working together. Standing up to liberal special interests has earned us a primary from a nice lady who thinks our conservative record is bad. But that's okay. Voters should have the opportunity to make that decision. We'll continue to fight to restore our Constitutional rights, defend the 2nd Amendment, secure our borders, stop Common Core, cut goverment regulations,, defend state sovereignty, encourage rural job creation, and advance water and forest health issues. We will give our whote district from Anthem to Ash Fork, a strong, conservataive voice. All we need is your support and your vote.

I am an Eagle Scout and an Engineer. I will be proactive in solving problems that impact our district residents. I believe all elected officials are to be conducting themselves as "Representatives of The People". As by nature a problem-solver, I will defend and protect our rights which is a nonpartisan expectation. My past legislative activities include articulating 2016 Session’s HB2050 Bill which would have amended ARS 41-1034 Declaratory Relief from unconstitutional state agency and state department judgments that intrude into our “Liberty”. Our Constitution states “Liberty” as being defined as our wages, children, home and property. Having been an orphan and having lived in a third world country, I clearly know the difference between a world without freedom, liberty and opportunity! I am grateful to have this opportunity to meet with district residents and to have discussed many problem-solving ideas that will help to improve our day to day lives in our state. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves as we solve problems together through our state law making process! Go to ElectSizer.com to learn more about Anthony Sizer.

With 30 years of experience in education, rising from teacher to superintendent to construction supervisor to consultant, I have much to contribute to Arizona’s educational crisis. Having a Doctorate in Education - Curriculum and Instruction; along with a Master of Science, Construction Management; a Master of Arts, Supervision and Administration; and Bachelor of Arts, Vocational Education means that I can relate to the struggles of the unskilled worker or the college graduate, the administrator wrestling a budget or the electrician wrestling with new city codes; the management of people and the management of materials. With a lifetime of experience, now is the time to capitalize on my experience and credentials to benefit the community. My top priorities are education; quality of life such as democratic participation, access to health care, a safe and clean environment, living wage jobs, and affordable housing; and reducing mass incarceration so that Arizona is Number One in Education not Incarceration. I bring my most important values of honesty and integrity to the issues in my district: water policy, roads and infrastructure, and stable employment. I currently serve on the Land, Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Transportation committees in the House.

I’m in my first term in office and when I ran I promised to be a strong voice for rural Arizona. I have kept that promise. Arizona has a balanced budget, I was part of the core group that dramatically increased school funding and teacher pay, and I have been working hard to increase the transportation dollars we need to get our roads fixed. I have also led on water issues, because those of us who work the land know how critical it is to our economy and livelihood. I’m actually the only rancher in the legislature, so I’m called on to be involved in a lot of issues that deal with the ranching, agriculture, and farming communities in our state. As promised, I have a pro-Constitution, pro-family values, and pro-taxpayer voting record because I know that preserving and expanding freedom is my most solemn responsibility. There are plenty of politicians down at the State Capitol, too many if you ask me. I ask for your vote so that we can ensure that regular folks like us have a voice and a champion there. On behaf of my wife and kids, thank you for your support and your continued trust!

I am a Democrat running as a clean elections candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives in Legislative District 8. I am also a publisher, marketing consultant, journalist and photographer. I’ve spent the last 35 years in sales, marketing, and running small businesses that I’ve created, including the Globe-Miami Times, a community-based newspaper I founded in 2006. These experiences have taught me the value of job creation and growth. I’ve been actively involved in community issues and economic development for the last 12 years. I served as a board member of the United Fund of Globe-Miami, from 2013 to 2018. In 2011, I helped lead a successful grassroots effort to stop a private prison from locating in Globe. As a cancer survivor who went five years without health insurance before the ACA eliminated preexisting conditions, I understand the critical nature of health care. I am also largely influenced by the legacy of my mother, who was a strong women’s rights champion and a resourceful single mother. As a house representative, I will work hard to see that we’re providing robust public education, equitable health care, strong protections for our water and environment, and an improved infrastructure within our state.

I believe the best way to achieve an efficient and simplified government is to elect Representatives who actually know the needs of you, your family and your business. I’m a native Tucsonan who has been speaking with many of you for years. In fact, that’s one of my favorite parts of campaigning. One thing I hear again and again is frustration that for far too long, we have paid for representation and been ignored by politicians who are too busy fundraising for their political agenda and protecting special interest groups. I’m running to return honesty to our representation. I respect you and know you spend your hard-earned dollars as carefully as you can to raise your family, invest and build towards your future. That’s how I’ll handle the state budget. I support limited government and an improved communication system so that I can get facts and information to you quickly. I believe in transparency and accountability, and I promise that I will protect and maintain your individual right to choose what’s best for you, your family, and your business. A better economy, schools, and job market all start with better government. Let’s do this together. I ask for your vote!

I have had the honor to serve as State Representative for LD 9 since 2015. I am also a physician, surgeon and professor of surgery at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, right here in Tucson. As a legislator I believe it is the state’s responsibility to ensure the core values of equality, opportunity (including equality of opportunity), and safety are reflected in its actions. During my tenure at the legislature I have worked to support appropriate funding for Arizona public schools. I will continue to make appropriate funding and support for our public schools a priority if re-elected in 2018. I also stand for a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, responsible gun safety legislation, access to quality healthcare, the ability of cities and towns to self-govern without undue preemption from the state, the protection of our environment and natural resources, ensuring that exercising the right to vote is not restricted, and supporting infrastructure in Arizona (roads/highways/railways, technology growth, water conservation, as well as K-12 education and our Universities). I believe that by supporting and growing Arizona infrastructure small businesses will prosper and corporations will expand in Arizona creating job growth and a robust economy.

I am running for re-election to the Arizona House of Representatives. In 2017 on the floor of the House, I stood up for the rights of women, children, workers, teachers, patients, small business owners and everyday folks. As a Progressive Democrat, my platform is based on economic reform and public banking; equality and paycheck fairness; and refocusing anti-drug efforts to target opiates. As a Mom, a Grandma and a wife, I want to help Arizona workers and families thrive by strengthening public schools and building economic opportunities. As a former small business owner, I believe that economic development efforts should focus on helping local small business owners and entrepreneurs develop their ideas and grow their businesses—rather than on giving tax dollars away to big corporations or special interests. I am an Ohio native, but I have lived in Tucson since 1981. My background is in communications, medical research, public health, and management. I have a BA in Journalism from Ohio State University and a Masters in Public Health from the University of Arizona. I live in Midtown Tucson with my husband Jim. Please consider sending me back to the House in 2018. Thanks for your support. Rep. Pamela Powers Hannley

I am running for re-election because I care about my community and will continue to fight to make Arizona a better place to live, work, raise a family and retire. In addition to your representative, I am an environmental law professor at the University of Arizona and the proud mother of a TUSD middle school student. My friends tell me I’m a mom in lawyer’s heels. In Phoenix, I introduced legislation to fund our schools, teachers and staff, expand career and technical education, support families in need, promote clean energy and prevent the cycle of crime and poverty that is swelling our prisons. I proudly received a 100% score from the Children’s Action Alliance, an A+ from the Sierra Club, and the Friend of Cities and Towns award from the League of Arizona Cities and Towns. Arizona’s tradition of independence is more important than ever as we see the harmful impacts of the Trump Administration’s policies on our economy, people and environment. I will work alongside my colleagues to lead our country by example. There’s so much more I want to do for our community. Thank you for your vote to return me to the legislature.

I have dedicated myself to reducing the size and impact of government over our lives. Politicians of the past have spent us into oblivion, and it will not be easy to restore sanity in spending in the halls of bureaucracy. We need tough representation that holds people accountable for what they do with our tax dollars. Over the last two terms of service, I have demonstrated strong leadership, conservative values, and fidelity to our Constitutions, both State and Federal. We have turned a corner in Arizona, and I believe we are on the path to correct errors of the past with a common-sense approach to limited government. Mine has been a life of service in both the private and public sectors, and service often means sacrifice. That worth having always has a cost; our children are depending on us to make wise choices resulting in personal freedoms, employment opportunities, and a balanced state budget. I ask for your vote to keep the momentum going toward personal freedom, economic security and a debt-free future for ourselves and our Posterity.

My parents were immigrant refugees who came to the U.S.A. after WWII. They had virtually nothing when they came. We were poor. I was born in Chicago. My older brother and I attended public schools. We both graduated from University Illinois at Chicago. Prior to college, he served with the Marine Corps in Vietnam. After college I enlisted in the Navy as an E-3 and 22 years later retired as a commander. I went on to serve 12 more years as an Arizona high school science teacher in Maricopa County. My brother retired from banking as a vice president in trust management. I know what it is like to be an immigrant. Attitudes have not changed since I was a boy. Two immigrant brothers with public educations, serving our country, retiring successfully—it’s the American dream. Don’t let that dream die. I will fight to fully support public education, comprehensive immigration reform, sensible gun control measures, and the people’s voices over lobbyists, special interests, and dark money. I will bring with me integrity, leadership, and equality every day I serve as I did for 22 years in the Navy and 12 years as an Arizona high school science teacher.

I have served on the board of directors of the Southeast Arizona Association of REALTORS(r), Inc. and the Southeast Arizona Multiple Listing Service. In 2015 I was president of both organizations. I believe that democracy is best served by a vigorous exchange of ideas in the political process. One way to do that is to stand up and run for elective office. I believe important issues for 2018 revolve around the simple question "What should state government do?" Government should be bold and visionary.

I am originally a Hoosier. Our family arrived in Arizona 29 years ago, from Ludwigsburg, Germany; our tour of duty, had ended, Arizona welcomed us home. I have been a wife, mother, student/teacher, small business owner, and now, grandmother/activist. Two years ago, watching the news, it was clear something had shifted in America. We were being divided. Concerned, I took action. I have researched deeply, marched, called, texted, tweeted & attended meetings. I discovered, I am not alone in my concerns. Two weeks ago, I was asked if I was willing to do something more to serve my community and other under-served communities in Arizona. I hesitated at first, politics has eroded. I was not convinced that “Run for Something” was a message meant for me. And then, I thought of my precious grandchildren, Malina, Nick, Ethan & Everette. Who would work more diligently, than me, to protect their future? And so, I said yes! Yes, I will. And I will work for you and your loved ones too.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in the Arizona Legislature. My husband, Joe, and I grew up and raised our children in the valley and as parents and now grandparents, business owners and citizens, we believe the freedoms we have must be cherished and contended for, which is why we got involved. Since my election I have worked with my colleagues to focus state government on its core responsibilities and have restrained taxation and regulatory overreach. From numerous health boards to large agencies like AHCCCS and our mental health and child welfare systems, I have worked diligently to make state government more accountable – with a special focus on protecting the rights of the disabled, foster and unborn children and other vulnerable individuals who cannot advocate for themselves. I have successfully promoted property rights, medical tort and other reforms increasing affordable health care for patients, increased education funding and choices and resisted top-down government mandates. As a result, Arizona’s economy is thriving and opportunities for families and businesses are growing. There is much more to do. I thank you for your support and I ask for your vote.

We need someone who can bring our district together and is willing to work hard to make it happen.

I am a veteran, a businessman, and an entrepreneur. I know how difficult it is to find a good job, make payroll and provide health insurance. I know the headaches of meeting budgets as well as the importance of an educated workforce, the dangers of illicit drug use, and the significance of our children’s dreams to society’s future. District 16 needs a STRONG CONSERVATIVE voice and representation. Our city and counties are not receiving their fair share of state funds and I will work to get more road and infrastructure dollars. I support securing our borders and amnesty is not the answer. We need to secure the border and do it now. Employers need an easy way to verify legal status. Arizona must stop spending our limited resources providing health and education benefits to illegal immigrants. Our teachers just received a 20% raise without any accountability for the failing AZ Merit/AIMS test scores. Our College are bankrupting our children before they even get to the workforce. Arizona must work smarter and closer with the local communities to promote growth, education and opportunity. I am asking for your vote to be your voice for more responsible Government.

I ran as a write-in candidate in the Green Party to give myself (and others) a second candidate to vote for in November, but I support only Democrats. Education is my priority. I have a B.A., magna cum laude, and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Brooklyn College; an M.A. in English from the College of Staten Island; and a J.D. with high honors, from the University of Florida College of Law. The author of eight books of fiction, I have taught at Long Island University, Florida Atlantic University, Fordham University, City University of New York, Broward College, Mesa Community College, Arizona State University, and Phoenix's Jess Schwartz Jewish Community HIgh School. I was a staff attorney in educational policy at the Center for Governmental Responsibility in Gainesville and served on the board of directors of the Human Rights Council of North Central Florida. I've worked in many Democratic campaigns, starting in 1964 for LBJ, HHH & RFK. In 2014, I was the Democratic nominee for Congress in Wyoming. I have been endorsed by AZ-NOW-PAC. I work at Central Arizona College.

As a small business owner I’ve spent a career dealing with the ways our government can help or hinder. It is actually one of the reasons I first ran for office. I wanted a local government that was responsive, limited, and effective. So I ran for City Council and put those ideas to work. Today, Chandler is Arizona’s best run city and I’m honored by the number of people who have asked me to run for State House and to take these same priorities and values to the state level. That means balanced budgets and a strong job-producing economy. That means protecting the taxpayers and families of Arizona. That means looking after our veterans, our schools, our roads and infrastructure, and our first responders. It means protecting our liberties, human life, and school choice. It means defending our Constitution, protecting our military bases, and securing our borders. I’m honored to be endorsed by County Attorney Bill Montgomery and a host of strong conservatives like Steve Yarbrough, JD Mesnard, Jeff Weninger, Jenn Daniels, and many others who want a proven conservative workhorse in the State House. If you want a Proven Champion for Taxpayers and Families, I ask for your vote!

It has been my privilege and honor to represent you the past four years. My business experiences, and Masters in Business Administration and Engineering Degrees have greatly prepared me for the challenges of sponsoring productive legislation. The focus of my bills has been on: reducing regulatory business burdens, protecting schools from state overreach, tax reform, restoration of JTED funding and supporting the teacher pay increase initiative. Community outreach efforts have included: initiating the first "Take Your Teacher to the Legislature Day"; securing a statewide suicide prevention coordinator; participating in the fraud squad to identify technical crimes; planning ADOT open houses during the 202 construction; volunteer teaching in our district schools and the launching the first pre-school pilot program for students with dyslexia. My 30 years working in Aerospace Engineering has been a great platform for leading our Aviation Caucus. I have enjoyed meeting and listening to constituents while visiting over 40 of our local schools and businesses. My husband of 33 years and our three adult children are my biggest fans and greatest accomplishments. While seeking re-election, it is my sincere hope to earn your trust and your vote so that I may continue representing you.

I am a computer systems analyst. I've written computer systems for large corporations -- Olin Inc., and Citicorp -- and I've run my small business, Custom Language Training. Your stories about life in our community are what drive me. Together, we can solve problems. At PTO meetings, youth soccer fields, and “Community Chats with Rep. Ep,” I hear you. We want safe neighborhoods, secure jobs, and strong schools. Even though my children are adults, I still want great schools because my future doctor is in school today. Strong schools produce a thriving economy and a bright future. As your state representative, I have worked to cut onerous red tape to help businesses thrive. I’ve worked for cuts to regulations – when the cuts did not put people in danger. I believe it is my duty to be a steward for protecting people from fraud because there are a lot of scammers out there. Because I have worked in large and small businesses, and because I am a staunch advocate for children and seniors, I bring balanced perspective to the House Commerce Committee. In debate on the House Floor, in hallway-talks, and committees, I speak up for you.

Statement:
I am a Mom of two school aged children and can speak for and represent families when it comes to the future of education in Arizona. We need to concentrate on moving tax dollars away from the administration and into the classroom. Arizona’s statewide classroom dollar percentage in fiscal year 2017 was 53.7 percent – the lowest dollar percentage since the Auditor General began monitoring it in fiscal year 2001. We can and will do better! We should never place our state budget at the disposal of the federal government. There has never been a federal program that delivered more or cost less than what was promised. I believe it is the height of fiscal irresponsibility to vote for a program if you don’t know how much it will cost, and as a State Representative, I will never, ever do that. Arizona can and will out compete every state with lower taxes, modest regulations and a business-friendly environment. I will work with our Congressional delegation to ensure we secure our southern border. Please visit our website to learn more about my candidacy and issues that are most important to Arizona.

Residents of LD-20 deserve a strong advocate. Now is time to elect a representative with leadership experience and a track record of collaboration. We need solutions for problems facing Arizona families; underfunded education, health care, jobs and care for the environment. My role, as a certified public manager, provided me with comprehensive experience in Early Childhood Education, Healthcare, Behavioral Health, and Environmental Justice. I bring this to the table for you and your families. These are not partisan issues they are human issues. Working together we will find common ground; we will find solutions, we will succeed. As your representative, I will evaluate legislation based on three standards. -Is it good for the people in our district? -Are we identifying the core issue? -How will this legislation affect future generations? I am an advocate for teachers, counselors/therapist, and support staff. They all make up a safe and supportive educational environment. I will support legislation for fully funded schools. Our future depends on it. Successful people need good jobs, housing in safe communities, access to affordable health care, ability to access support systems, clean air, clean water, quality food and comprehensive health care. Together we are better.

I earned a BA in journalism from the UNC-Chapel Hill and a law degree from Mississippi College School of Law. Locally, my wife, Julie, and I volunteer organizing our community, supporting education initiatives and promoting pro-education candidates. Coming from a family public education family, I’m an advocate who has volunteered for every education initiative I could find. Now, I want to restore the $700 million in direct cuts we’ve seen since the Recession. After placing us nearly last in per pupil spending, the Legislature needs to step it up. We need designated funding sources, not promises, especially in work-based skills so students graduate ready to enter the workforce. I also want to ensure we have an environment where small businesses can thrive on a level playing field with global corporations, have access to R&D funding and help them find the employees with the skills they need. Finally, we need a transparent government and elected officials that are held accountable. We can start by ending dark money spending and requiring politicians to report any financial interests when advancing legislation. More than that, I want to spend our tax dollars in a fiscally responsible way to ensure government works for us.

I’m a husband, father, small-business owner, and committed conservative. I spent a term on the Peoria City Council because I disliked how the special interests ran the city at the expense of the people who lived there. When I was asked if I was willing to be appointed to fill the vacancy left by Phil Lovas I thought that the opportunity to fight for conservative values at the state level was important enough to say yes. And I’m glad I did! We have cut taxes, balanced the budget, increased classroom funding and teacher pay, reduced regulations, and we have one of the strongest economies and job markets in the nation. I have a 100% pro-Constitution voting record and, as the father of five girls, am absolutely committed to protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. I’m honored to be endorsed by Sen. Judy Burges, former State Treasurer (and Trump COO) Jeff DeWit, former State Representative Phil Lovas, County Supervisor Clint Hickman, and others. I’m also proud to be running as a team with David Livingston and Frank Carroll. We will work well together as a team, protecting taxpayers and limited government. We ask for your vote and thank you for your time!

Arizona needs a new direction. Our legislative majority has received a failing report card for protecting public education, embracing a clean energy economy, and making political funding transparent. I grew up in Arizona. My children were born and raised here. We came up through strong public schools, have pursued careers and maintained homes in the NW valley. During my 37-year career with American Express I worked with small businesses, mid-sized and large corporations - helping them successfully manage their card programs by listening to and understanding their challenges. After retiring, I joined the Deer Valley Unified School District. I know the value of education and the expectations businesses have for an educated workforce. My campaign is funded through the citizens Clean Elections initiative which was approved by voters in 1998 to root out corruption and promote confidence in our political process. I will be accessible and I’ll be responsive to the concerns of every LD22 resident, regardless of party affiliation. I’ll work for a first-class public education system, a vibrant economy, and a healthy environment. Working together we can have them all. Learn More at HarrisForAZ.com

After 25 years talking about the issues on my KTAR talk show, the experience of getting elected in 2014 and going to work solving those issues was as rewarding as I could have hoped for. As I promised, I voted in a conservative manner to expand the power of the individual and limit the power of the government. This term I was honored to serve as Chairman for the House Military, Veterans, and Regulatory Affairs Committee. As an Air Force veteran, I am also proud to serve as co-chair of the House and Senate Veterans Caucus. As always, I voted for a real balanced budget, free of gimmicks, even while adding large increases to school spending and teacher pay. I will continue to advocate for real secure borders and an end to illegal immigration, and I will continue to champion our Constitutional rights, like our 2nd Amendment rights. I’m grateful for the many endorsements I have received and invite you to visit my website for a full list and to learn more about my positions on issues.

Most recently her bill, HB2222, inspired national outrage at the lack of adequate feminine hygiene products for women in prison, ultimately leading to an policy change within the AZ Dept. of Corrections. This fits a long history of advocacy for working families, students, women, children and immigrants before Rep. Salman was elected. She has received multiple acclaims for her advocacy, including the City of Tempe's MLK Diversity Award. Rep.
