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

Adam Kokesh enlisted in the Marines while attending the Native American Preparatory School and volunteered for combat in Fallujah where he was meritoriously promoted to Sergeant. As a volunteer counselor for veterans with PTSD, he hosted a support group called “Homefront Battle Buddies.” His media career began on AM radio as “ADAM VS THE MAN,” which became a successful TV show, then a YouTube channel with over sixty million views. While jailed for 2nd Amendment activism, Adam began writing his book, FREEDOM! Now in its fifth printing, it has over three million downloads and has been translated into a dozen languages by volunteers. After a 100+ stop national tour, he realized Arizona was the greatest state in the union and bought ten acres near Ash Fork where he is building a homestead from scratch. “As a US Senator, I will visit as many of the troops as possible. I will look them in the eyes and tell them that I was one of them, that they are not fighting for freedom, that we have been lied to, and that I will do everything I can to ensure not even one more American soldier dies for lies ever again.” thefreedomline.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, the last thing we need is to see our government giving all these things away to other countries, while taxing us and paying for education of illegal immigrants and not our children here at home. We need to have equality in housing, employment and most of all healthcare. Bottom line, it’s time to take care of America first. We need to clean ourselves up and move towards a better, more green country again. 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!

GOD-FAMILY-COUNTRY are the principles I’ve fought for as a leader in the Arizona Legislature. My passion and work-ethic has helped me achieve being ranked the #1 conservative Legislator in Arizona, A+ rated by the NRA, named ‘Champion of the Taxpayer’, recipient of the prestigious Veteran's Copper Shield Award, ‘Legislator of the Year’ for Education and the Disabled Community, and 'Hero for Small Businesses'. I wrote the bill to construct Arizona’s border wall, voted to stop Common Core, been the top defender for rural water/property rights, and started the Workforce Jobs Initiative helping Arizona’s economy grow. I’m the only candidate with a proven voting record and the only one to have won an election against a long-term Democratic incumbent. I am supported by Trump’s campaign COO Jeff DeWit, Senator Ted Cruz, Congressional leaders Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko, the National Border Patrol Council, Arizona Police Association, and many other conservative groups. My wife is a teacher and together we raise our 5 young children in rural Arizona. Let’s restore Arizona’s greatness by electing proven conservatives to protect our families, our borders, our rights and our country. Your vote matters and I humbly ask for your support!

As a public servant, he has built a reputation for taking on tough challenges and finding bipartisan commonsense solutions.

I'm an entrepreneur, community activist, and small business owner who has long worked for positive change in southern Arizona, and am committed as ever to making the second district a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

I'm not a career politician, I want Southern Arizona to meet its full potential. We need to grow our economy on a larger scale, and not just in Tucson, but in every part of Southern Arizona. My work in Cochise County at my family’s vineyard in Pearce, and starting small businesses has helped me understand how to work with numerous stakeholders to bring an idea and a business plan from conception to reality.

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.”

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.

I am an executive, educator, entrepreneur, and author. I am proud to be the only candidate who is ready to tackle Arizona’s biggest challenge: partisanship. Progress on education reform, immigration reform, health care reform, tax reform, and other important issues cannot be achieved unless we first reduce partisanship in our politics. Today, many people seem to want our leaders to fail; not because they disagree with their policies, but because they have the wrong label. We need loyal leadership that stands beside the people and doesn’t shift alliances with every political wind or negative news cycle. Too many people want to get more out of the system than they put in. We need a leader who understands and honors our sacred history and traditions. We need a leader who stands up to the bullies and speaks for those without a strong voice, especially our children. At this crucial moment in Arizona’s history, I am the leader that has the right priorities for a prosperous, rewarding future.

Statement:
It’s an honor to serve the citizens of Arizona. In my first term of office I kept my campaign promise to repeal and replace the Common Core standards which were ruining education in Arizona. In addition, I implemented expansion in options for parental choice of their children’s school, brought broadband access to rural school districts, added services to our Native American students, and successfully advocated for expanded education funding for better teacher salaries. Test scores are now steadily increasing in Arizona as a result of these changes. Parents and their children remain my highest priority as I continue to fight for standards which result in a return to sensible, high quality educational instruction. Internally, I drained the bureaucratic swamp at the department, increasing quality of services to parents and schools while decreasing the number of staff and their salaries. I implemented current year funding, repaired the grants process, and focused more assets on school safety measures. I’ve also improved outcomes for English language learners and assistance to disconnected youth who have quit school and are unemployed. I ask for your continued support and for your vote in the election.

Statement:
The high-profile failures of Diane Douglas to keep her campaign promises to get rid of Common Core, the infighting on the State Board of Education, the lawsuits - her general incompetence - led a number of concerned groups/individuals to ask me to run for State Superintendent. My record as a successful reformer on the Maricopa County Community College board and my status as the only actual teacher in the race, was attractive to those who want to clean up this failed bureaucracy, protect taxpayers, and put our teachers, families, and kids first. Since then, Ms. Douglas’ vulnerability has attracted three more challengers, each seeing an opportunity to gain or regain political office, but the fact is so many challengers only increases the odds of Ms. Douglas winning the primary, then losing the general to a liberal Democrat who opposes school choice, taxpayer accountability, and local control. I have spent 16 years as a K-12 teacher. I have a unique understanding of what needs to be done. I can keep this important office in Republican hands and protect school choice. I will actually end Common Core, and I will continue to stand tall on behalf of kids, parents, and teachers. www.tracylivingston.vote

Arizona is the only state in the entire union that has a State Mine Inspector and for good reason - copper mining is one of the "Five Cs" that defined our history and built our economy. It is an integral part of our identity as Arizonans, and it's the reason why our State Flag has a copper star and our Capitol Building a copper dome. As a Native Arizonan who grew up in this rich tradition and who cut her teeth in a family business that works for Arizona's myriad copper mines, Kim Ruff recognizes the important role the State Mine Inspector plays in educating miners and their subcontractors on safety practices in order to prevent fatal accidents, hazardous errors, and unwanted invitations to the federal government to stick their nose in our business.

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.

Jim brings a unique, needed skillset that is currently absent at the Arizona Corporation Commission. With 42 years of experience in finance, responsible for regulatory compliance, investment portfolio management, and enterprise leadership, Jim is the only candidate with that expertise. Jim advised the California State Senate on rewriting investment law, ensuring that the notorious Orange County bankruptcy would never happen again. As a Constitutional Conservative, Jim O'Connor will protect utility customers, crack down on financial crime, fight unsound regulations, restore public trust in the ACC, and — most importantly — uphold the Arizona State Constitution. When Jim is elected, he will serve only one term, and will not run for reelection. His hope is that his self-imposed term-limit will set a precedent for future commissioners. Jim has served for 10 years on the Board of Grace Line Ministries, a non-profit Christian mentoring organization. He enjoyed four years of enrichment studies at Phoenix Seminary and is a partner at Pinnacle Forum in Phoenix. Jim's wisdom, integrity, and experience make him the man for this job.

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. Sandra is running to: • Lower utility rates • Stop the corruption at the Corporation Commission • Create more solar and renewable energy in Arizona, especially roof top solar See more at http://kennedyacc2018.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/KennedyACC2018/

As a former Corporation Commissioner (1999-2009) I intend to return integrity and transparency to the Commission. I will work hard to ensure the Commission provides affordable, reliable power to Arizonans, expand sources of renewable energy and protect consumers from unjustified rate increases. It is time to end the “culture of corruption” so evident on the current Commission. No matter which political party you belong to, you should be concerned about recent decisions to unjustly raise rates on APS customers, EPCOR customers and Johnson Utility customers when these companies are all making record profits. When I served on the Commission ten years ago Commissioners from both parties were committed to providing safe, cost-effective utility service to rate-payers through an open and transparent process. Arizona should be the solar capital of the world. When I served as Commission Chair we made Arizona one of the first states to require utilities to generate a percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. It is time to let the light shine once again on the important role Arizona’s Corporation Commission plays in the lives of Arizonans. I am asking for your support and your vote.

I believe the Government has taken so much from the people that they have trouble simply surviving, instead of improving. I believe in Personal Property rights and our sovereignty and will defend them to the utmost. Our School system is completely out of control. Massive spending and moving further and further away. Our kids need to learn necessary life skills rather than simply learning how to pass tests. Another big issue lately is Immigration. It's a misconception that Libertarians want unsecured borders. My thought on this is that we appreciate legal immigration. It is what built our great Country. The problem is the crimes committed when illegal immigration is permitted, Fraud, Smuggling, Etc... I understand this is a small percentage of illegal immigrants, but it is also true that there is a small percentage of USA citizens that are criminals, but we still enforce the law. This needs to apply to everyone. Finally, I just want to say, if you want your freedoms back and your rights respected, Vote Libertarian.

My campaign about our mutual opportunities to careers, great paying jobs, new profitable businesses, clean renewable energy, cornering untapped industry and creating a highly lucrative system of private business investment throughout our state fosters an Arizona where everyone wins. My program is called ArizonaVested℠. We may *partially base this plan on "Industrial Hemp" along with kenaf, flax, jute and other easy growth, low water, plants perfect for Arizona, leading to billions of dollars in new commerce, businesses and jobs from plant/hemp-oil-based-fuels, and bio-fuel, car panels, medicines, building materials, and much more protecting our natural resources. 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.

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.

LD13 is without an elected State Senator. The voters have a right to elect their State Senator. My beliefs: God and His Son Jesus Christ and who then died for our sins. The U.S. Constitution. Nullifying unconstitutional acts of the Federal Government. Pro-Life and Pro-Second Amendment. The Electoral College to select the President. Protect our civil liberties. That all government publications and voting ballots are to be in English. No State funding to any entity that provides any type of sanctuary status to illegals. No State benefits for illegals (illegals cost the State 2.3 billion dollars per year- your tax dollar!). Use the State Defense Force to secure our border until the wall gets built. Expand Empowerment Scholarship Accounts for all legal AZ parents. Institute school reforms to save our tax dollar. Change the law that when a State legislator resigns the voters get to elect. Stop political cronyism. Two proxies max for political organizations. Secure future water resources. No new taxes for services. Grow our economy and keep taxes low. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them- Thomas Jefferson.

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.

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!

Moreover, exemplified through helping transform a small local business into an international firm, completing an Ironman triathlon, and tutoring 2nd-grade students in his free time, Doug understands the importance of hard work, perseverance, and patience. Doug’s platform consists of three main pillars: restoring public education funding without burdening working families, protecting the environment through conscientious and inclusive legislation, and ensuring that all individuals are treated equally and respectfully, regardless of their identities. Through these goals, he hopes to contribute to tangible improvements in the lives of LD20 residents. The son of a teacher, Doug has called Arizona home since the age of three and enjoys backpacking, reading, and spending time with his family. He is grateful for your time and support.

My name is Randy Miller and I running for the Arizona Senate Seat in LD 21. I am a retired Senior Deputy Probation officer. I worked all my life following the law, treating people with respect and compassion under the law, and as an equal. I've seen success, failure, heartache and loss of life in our communities. I've witnessed failed policies and successful ones and the impact, both good and bad, they can have. Our voices have been unheard, our dreams have been overshadowed and our concerns have been ignored. Government has gotten out of control. They spend without accountability, create new laws but enforce only those they want, and lost sight of their purpose. With your support I will work hard to represent all of us just as I represented the interest of our communities and people that live in them during my 20-year career as a probation officer and in business. I have 8 years' experience as a business owner, now I'm in the real estate. It's time the people rose up from the shadows and take back our government as it was intended to be. I hope to earn your support, as your new state senator.

It was just a few years ago that you first elected me to the State House. I wanted to serve this great state and look after the taxpayers and families that live here. What a journey it has been. I have been honored to serve as Chairman of the Banking and Insurance Committee, I was elected Majority Whip by my peers, and this year I was asked to step up as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and guide our state’s budget to passage. Still, I remember that my mission is to serve you all and so I continue to focus on improving our economy and attracting jobs, strengthening the family unit, protecting our state’s sovereignty, and restoring our Constitutional rights. I advocate for secure borders and I have a 100% pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment record. I have earned both the “Friend of the Family” award and the “Hero of the Taxpayer” award. I work for you and I promise to reward your support with a continued commitment to limited government and effective representation. I am running as a team with Ben Toma and Frank Carroll and know them to be outstanding conservatives as well. We ask for your vote!

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.

Arizona schools rank among the worst in the country. Strong communities begin with quality schools. As your senator, I will continue the fight for appropriate funding for Arizona’s schools and competitive wages for our state’s teachers, as well as debt-free college. Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), Arizona’s Medicaid program, is a federal healthcare program funded jointly by both federal and state funds. I’ll work to expand AHCCCS and to protect KidsCare and ALTCS, (programs for children and those needing long-term care.) Our mass transit system needs expanding to accommodate our ever-growing communities. I’ll focus on improving transportation options in our state and introducing municipal broadband to enhance technology accessibility and reduce prices for consumers. I’ll work with the Senate on laws that encourage water conservation and building with eco-friendly materials. I’m Brianna Westbrook, and I want to earn your vote. I’ll honor my promises in fighting for women’s rights and the rights of veterans, Arizonans with disabilities and all members of our society. I’ve rolled up my sleeves, and I’m ready to work toward a brighter future for all Arizonans.

I was born into tough circumstances, including domestic chaos and violence. I lost my big brother to a gruesome murder. Thankfully, my beloved mother taught me to cherish faith, care for others and work hard. I beat the odds, I’m living the American Dream. I’m a husband, father, grandfather, friend and optimist. I serve various companies and non-profits. Governor Ducey asked me to transform the Department of Economic Security to improve social services. We went to work, attacked the status quo, cleaned out deadwood, dramatically increased morale, and improved care for Arizonans in need. Eventually the self-serving status quo fought back, claiming I was cruel for firing hundreds of poor-performing employees and taking issue with my ardent commitment to protect our social workers and clients. The liberal attacks I suffered never dampened my desire to serve others. I’m running for State Senate to make a true conservative difference. Representative Ugenti voted against the extension of Proposition 301 to fund education, against “Blue Lives Matter” legislation to protect law enforcement, and against anti-bully legislation to protect school children. She even opposes Term Limits. I’m pro-education, pro-police, pro-accountability, pro-border security, pro-jobs, pro-life, pro-Constitution and anti-politician. I hope to earn your vote!

I am a 20 year veteran, now retired, of the Az Depart. of Corrections. I am a candidate for office because I believe the criminal justice system is horrendously defective. I want to incarcerate drug offenders, sex offenders, illegal aliens, and violent offenders (anyone who hurts others) and thereby separate such people from the community. Fiscal offenders would pay restitution and a fine to the state. This system would result in the release of thousands of young men and hundreds of young women. I am a US Navy veteran and an Az Attorney in good standing. I fully support President Donald Trump in his efforts to Make America Great Again!

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.

Dedicated to working on innovative solutions to address Arizona’s economy, Hernandez helped pass legislation to protect small business from frivolous lawsuits. In 2011, while working in the office of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Hernandez took actions on January 8th with which he is credited with saving her life. That day and the aftermath drove him to advocate for Gun Violence Prevention at the state and national level, which he does to this day. Prior to serving in the legislature, Hernandez was elected to the Sunnyside Unified School District Governing board in November 2011.

Senator Olivia Cajero Bedford was well versed with state politics long before Tucson citizens honored her by electing her to serve in the Arizona Legislature. She served eight years as a State Representative to her constituents and in 2010, she won the Senate seat. She grew up in a political family that placed a high value on public service. Understanding the importance of public service, Senator Cajero Bedford became the second generation in her family to represent southern Arizonans at the state Capitol. She provided her parents, Rep. Bernardo “Nayo” Cajero and Rep. Carmen Cajero, with advice on important votes during the 28 years they served in the Arizona House of Representatives. She urged her parents to ensure that high school students receive free text books and that the state provide funding to establish the University of Arizona Cancer Research Center. Since taking office in 2003, Senator Cajero Bedford has fought to defend a woman’s right to choose. This issue is important to her and remains at the top of her list each session.

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.

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 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.

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.

I am a retired carpenter. I started my career as a carpenter in 1977. The majority of my work has been on large commercial projects such as high rises and bridges. In the mid nineties I did construction consulting which lead me to work for attorneys and testify in court as an expert witness on many occasions. I also worked part time as a licensed real estate associate in the early nineties and still enjoy following the real estate market today. I retired from construction in 2005 due to an injury sustained in an auto accident. I moved to Arizona from Indiana in 2011 to enjoy the beautiful weather the state has. I reside in a house on 5 acres west of Maricopa with my dog Mack.I have never run for any office before but have considered it. I am running now because I have the time it will take and I believe this is the era when people want a person they can relate to , a non politician. I have views on many issues but do understand until I look at them through the eyes of the majority I must be flexible and willing to listen. Thank you

I have 20+ years in experience as an engineer, manager and business owner. My strengths lie in my beliefs, passion, and tenacity. I have fought and won against a corrupt water utility. I continue to fight water issues, and I will do the same for the people of Arizona. People deserve to be able to address issues locally and fairly. "Nick's moral compass is set all the way to high. He can't stand to see people abusing power, regardless of what position they hold. Whether it's a bully on a playground, domestic abuser, a corporation, or a government official - abuse is abuse. He strongly believes that government officials are here to serve the people, and not the other way around. After realizing how difficult it is to get a government official to fight with you, not to mention for you, he realized he had two choices: 1. do nothing, 2. be the change he wants to see. Nick is not a politician. He is well aware of the fact that he has a lot to learn. He has his ideals, but he is also very eager to listen to reason..." my wife, Katerina Myers

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 been a resident of Cochise county since 2005. I'm an a real estate broker with my own company. Before coming to Arizona I was president of a software development company in California. 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. We need the best schools and outstanding infrastructure to create an environment for economic growth and prosperity for our area.

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.

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.

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!

Statement:
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.
