The Original Documents say - We the people not We the party. Ideas should triumph over party pablum. Common sence creativity. My goal is to have the most informed voters, so come Nov 3 the victory is easily understood. I was the Ind. candidate for Gov in 98, when the Republicans did not want young and smart so I went Ind. way back then. With Independents out numbering the Dems and almost as many as Rep, it is time for a new choice than another Tweedledee or Tweedledum Party politician. My goal is to have more registered Ind. than both parties and another 300,000 new voters sign up to vote before Election Day.. The key is ballot access for the election to be exciting. I will need 37,000 e - signatures to qualify for the ballot, that's a lot, - 6X a party person, but it's the rules. They are due by Apr 6th This will be achieved with your help as any registered voter can sign a petition. Let's have an exciting election for the Senate seat in 2020. More candidates makes it better.

As a small business owner, my number one goal is to make sure everyone wins. Congress should be doing the same. All of us want Congress to put people before politics. It hasn’t happened.

I support expanding Medicare coverage to kids, making a Medicare public option open for purchase by anyone, investing federal dollars into pre-k open to all kids at 3-years-old and working to achieve full-employment in the fight to increase equity. As a member of the National Small Businesss Association Leadership Council and Women In International Trade, I am also committed to using my expertise to grow jobs in Arizona.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Congressional District 8 in the U.S. Congress. Since first being elected, my staff and I have dedicated ourselves to helping constituents and addressing issues that affect our district, our state and our nation. From tax relief for working families to removing burdensome regulations on businesses to strengthening our national defense, I’m proud of the work we have done. But there is so much more to do especially in the area of improving healthcare, border security and fighting the coronavirus pandemic. I hope you will join me in bringing commonsense conservative solutions to the issues our country faces today. You can count on me to fight for all residents of District 8. I would be honored to have your support for another term in the U.S. Congress.

There has never been a time where leadership, work ethic, and putting people over political party has been more important. I'm a 36 year old CD-8 native, father to two little boys, husband, small business owner and entrepreneur. I am running for office in the district I grew up in against an incumbent that has been our representative for 1/3 of my life. I am proudly running for Congress to work hard for our families, our businesses, our veterans, our teachers, first responders, workers, seniors, students, and our future regardless of political party. The time for talking about healthcare, immigration, and improving our lives is over. We need one of our own to get the job done for all of us. I've played professional baseball, held a career as a director and crew chief for major music artists world tours, earned my bachelors degree, and have owned a small business in Glendale for seven years. Everything I am is right here and where you come from means something to me. We are all going through this together. I'm the fighter the West Valley has never seen before. It will be an honor to represent my hometown come November 2020.

Statement:
I believe a good government always takes Fiscal Accountability, helps create Economic Opportunities, and ensures Quality of Live for the people. Many politicians are off track. Instead of unifying the people and focusing on real issues and solving real problems, they have purposely divided the people with resentments upon each other for their own political gains. Dr. Sam Huang is a different candidate, who places people’s interest on the top, with a clear mind, global perspective, and extensive knowledge and experience on different cultures. After intensive studies, I have carefully selected five top priorities that are the most critical to the American people’s life and happiness. They are: affordable medical service, relevant education, improved infrastructure, immigration policy reform, and welfare policy reform. To implement, I have also developed plans and approaches that will save costs on government services, reduce social problems, and create long lasting economic driving forces. Politicians and diapers should be changed often for the same reason. For the people of America and our better future, I am humbly asking for your votes and supports in the coming elections.

Unlike others in the race Nicholas will protect the freedoms of all his constituents. We are all adults and don’t need the government to do our thinking for us. The issue in this election is Liberty. Our liberty and freedom are under direct attack and we must fight back. Once we lose our liberty we will never get it back.

Statement:
For five years, in front of the commission, I have been fighting empty promises, discrimination, neglect from the Corporation Commission staff, irresponsible rate setting, corruption, and refusal of service from a utility. It became painfully clear that for decades Arizonans have dealt with a Corporation Commission that has neglected the people. Corporations have essentially had free rein. Arizonans need someone with a proven track record, who is willing to stand up for them now, and in the future. Someone who will look out for their best interests proactively instead of reactively. Many Arizona utility customers, just like you, end up paying more than they should, having disconnection issues, and sometimes are even the victims of abusive practices by utilities. All of these are problems that I can, have, and are continuing to address. For five years I have been a customer, just like you, that has dealt with unfair and unjust utility issues. All things that I will continue address as a Commissioner. It’s time to start focusing on the issues that really matter for Arizona’s future. Let’s stop this trend and elect someone with the recent experience needed to serve you, the people of Arizona.

Kim Owens is currently serving her third term as an elected ratepayer advocate on the Salt River Project Council, overseeing water and power issues. A lifelong Republican, she is committed to two guiding principles central to all decisions of a Commissioner, the Constitutional requirement that all rates be "just and reasonable" and understanding that Arizona is a big state with diverse needs. Utility rates must be fair to the consumer and all decisions must be reasonable, and never made to be politically expedient. Arizona power and water policies will be crucial in the coming years, having a decade of experience in both will allow Kim to hit the ground running as a Corporation Commissioner and represent all of Arizona with integrity. Kim was elected to 5 terms on a school board and appointed by Pres. GW Bush to chair an independent federal agency. She earned the trust of voters before and will continue to do so as a Commissioner. An Arizona native, after a 20-year nursing career she was a Realtor, small business owner and PR consultant. Married for 41 years to Dean, a retired Police Officer, they have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. Kim respectfully asks for your vote.

Jim brings a unique, needed skill-set that is currently absent at the Arizona Corporation Commission. With 42 years 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 not be repeated. As a Constitutional Conservative, Jim O'Connor will protect utility customers from unworkable, ideologically based ideas that would cause rates to skyrocket, crack down on financial crime, fight unsound regulations, restore public trust in the Corporation Commission, and — most importantly — uphold the Arizona State Constitution. Jim has served for 12 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 right man for this job.

Bill has a long history of public service in Arizona. After fighting police and judicial corruption in Chandler, Bill was appointed at age 27, Presiding Judge of the Chandler Municipal Court, where he served for six years.

During his tenure, Bill wrote numerous laws protecting Arizona's environment, including a historic law preventing Arizona from becoming the nation’s dumping ground for hazardous waste, the state’s first recycling law, laws protecting our native plants, rivers, and the Phoenix Mountain Preserves. Bill served as a Commissioner on the Corporation Commission for nine years (1999 to 2009). When he was Chair, Arizona was one of the first states to require its utilities generate a percentage of their electricity from renewable sources, solar and wind. In 2006, he co-authored the current renewable energy requirement in Arizona: The REST Rules. They substantially increased the required renewable energy percentage and at the time, made Arizona a leader in the installation of rooftop solar.

The Arizona Corporation Commission's Mission, quite simply, is to power Arizona's future. This means oversight of utility services, growing Arizona's economy through attracting and encouraging new business, and protecting Arizona citizens in enforcing an ethical securities marketplace. The "Mission" also states the Commission is to modernize an efficient, effective, and responsive government agency. I am running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission because we must be more responsive in attracting, encouraging, and growing sustainable resources for Arizona's clean energy future. Commissioners are responsible for making policy, sitting in judgment, and advocating on behalf of Arizona citizens. I have been a resident of Arizona since 1957 and come to this position having served two terms on the Cave Creek Town Council, a term on the Town's Board of Adjustment, many years as a board member and environmental activist, a teacher in our public schools, and the mother of two sons. It is obvious Arizona is increasingly falling behind in implementing clean, sustainable, and renewable energy sources. It's time to take the lead, set our environmental priorities, and elect individuals who will vigorously pursue sustainable outcomes and resources for Arizona's citizens.

There is a non-stop battle between those on the left who want to grow our government, raise our taxes, and chip away at our freedoms – and those of us on the right who want to increase our freedoms by letting you keep more of what you earn and by keeping government out of your lives as much as possible. I will always be on the side of freedom. I was and will always be a US Marine, and I am also involved in doing what I can to help our veterans and to make Arizona a veteran-friendly state. Never hesitate to contact me if I can be of service to you, and thank you for the honor of getting to represent you in the State Senate.

In addition to your representative since 2016, I am an environmental law professor and the proud mother of a TUSD student. 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.

Lynsey was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. She believes that immigrants are part of the fabric of America. Specifically, Haiti has a long history with the U.S., dating back to the Revolutionary war, where Haiti fought alongside America to help it gain its independence. We are living in unprecedented times. Now more than ever we need a pragmatic leader who is not short sighted, but understands how to mitigate damages and have a balanced approach to legislation. Though women outnumber men in our district they have yet to be represented. We need leaders that look like our mothers, wives, and daughters so that their voices no longer remain silent and the issues unique to them are treated with dignity. The pandemic has placed a spotlight on the areas where our state is most vulnerable. Our schools more than ever must have the support that it needs to meet the needs of our students. Whether online, in-person or both; every child deserves a quality education no matter their zip code. A quality education is essential for our children to fulfill their full potential and for America to remain competitive in the world. Arizona's future is in the classrooms of today.

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.

I was honored to serve you in the State House for 8 years, 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 state, #1 pro-2nd Amendment state, 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. I returned to the private sector, and was asked to run for the State Senate to ensure we have a proven conservative looking after our district. You elected me in 2018 and I’m keeping my promises -- fighting the left, defending what’s right, and giving you my all, because I know how important the freedom of the people I’m fighting for are. On behalf of my wife, my kids, and every one of the great volunteers helping in this effort, I ask for your support so we can continue winning this fight together!

I believe that democracy is best served by a vigorous discussion of the issues facing our state government. For too long opposing viewpoints are routinely ignored by our state elected officials. A strong multi-party system helps ensure that those in power are held accountable by the voters. Arizona state government must Invest in public education that guarantees ALL students in Arizona outstanding schools, build a modern infrastructure; stop tax breaks to special interests; allow local governments to govern; support economic fairness; champion diversity and inclusion, create an environment for sustained economic growth that provides good jobs and good pay checks for workers in rural Arizona while protecting our precious natural resources and environment; protect a women’s right to choose; and ensure access to affordable comprehensive healthcare for all. If elected, I will work hard as your state representative to be a voice for southeastern Arizona counties of Cochise, Greenlee, Graham and Pima. I pledge to listen to everyone, respecting those that do not agree with me; representing all of you, ethically, honestly, effectively and professionally.

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. This past legislative session, we’ve navigated our way through the health crisis by supporting small businesses, helped residents stay in their homes or apartments, and continued to fund schools and teachers during the shutdown, meanwhile protecting health and safety. 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 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!

Statement:
Residents of District 20 deserve a State Senator like Doug Ervin, who will listen to their needs, represent them honestly, and fight against the short-sightedness and partisanship that is unfortunately prevalent in politics. As an experienced accountant, corporate tax auditor, and financial systems architect, he possesses the knowledge necessary to critically analyze budgets and understand their true impact on our state’s economy. 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 is working to restore fiscal responsibility to our state legislature so all students receive a great education, people have access to quality, affordable healthcare and we make smart infrastructure investments - all of which will help grow our economy and create good-paying jobs. The son of an Air Force Captain and Teacher of Nursing, 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. Vote Doug Ervin for State Senator.

It was just a few years ago that you elected me to State House and now as your State Senator. 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 Transportation 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!

Statement:
I’m running for senate for a simple reason – I love Arizona. This state, and all of you, have given me so much. It’s here that I was raised, met my wife, and built a business. I was educated in Arizona public schools and I’ve made a home here with you in beautiful Scottsdale. Arizona is special because Arizona is free. Starting a business fresh out of school is hard enough: I could have never done it in a state that put unnecessary obstacles in the path of entrepreneurs. Buying a home is tough enough: I could have never done it in a place where the government makes it hard to build housing and taxes property to the hilt. I know that so many of you have similar stories. That so many of you have done things that nobody thought possible and share my same love for this place we call home. Every day I am inspired by my friends and neighbors in legislative district 23. You have so much to be proud of. You deserve a senator you can be proud of too. I would be deeply humbled by your support.

Accessible and affordable public education that prepares Arizona's young people for 21st Century careers, improving the lives of children and families, working in support of housing for the homeless and low-income families, and defending the civil rights of all of Arizona's citizens will continue to be my priorities, should I be re-elected to represent LD 24 in the Arizona State Senate. 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 will continue working for the people of our great state as LD 24's State Senator.

Statement:
My parents, brother and sister all escaped from South Korea in 1978. The former South Korean govt tried for many years to see us returned and face the death penalty. That corrupt government finally gave up and I went from an asylum seeker, to a permanent resident, and later a US citizen. I know what freedom means and the hope and opportunity it can give anybody willing to work. As I became accustomed to the United States I worked hard and graduated from college. I then met my wife and was blessed with 2 boys. Now grown, one works here in the valley and one is serving in the US Army. I stand for freedom, liberty and justice. These are not just casual words but a belief that the American way is the best way in the entire world. For 20 years I have lived in Arizona. I built a business, raised a family and worked in the community. I want to represent you! To insure that this way of life, the life that has been so good to me, is available to my children and my grandchildren.

I want to improve the lives of those who live in our district regardless of political labels, economic status or backgrounds. I grew up poor in south Phoenix in a multi-cultural home, the youngest of 9 children. People are afraid to walk in the parks or neighborhoods, cars stolen, homes burglarized, business robbed, and citizens murdered. This district and the victims of these crimes deserve a Senator who will do something about the crime rate. The crime rate has a direct impact on economic development. Higher paying employers will not come until the crime rate is brought under control. Reducing crime will reduce auto and homeowner’s insurance and increase home values. I will protect your right to send your child to a traditional public school, a public charter school, in home school or school out of our district. The current incumbent doesn’t support your right of school choice. Criminal justice reform, mental illness, homelessness, water, education and poor internet service are some of the issues. I owned businesses and want to create opportunities that lift people out of poverty. Join me in making a better safer caring community. Learn about my candidacy by going to www.garlandaz.com

It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.”

From an early age I was a Republican, declaring at age 3 that Hillary Clinton was a witch and proudly exclaiming that Newt Gingrich was the Speaker of the House. That always shocked quite a few people, but as a fourth generation Republican activist I've always felt that it's just in my blood. After graduating from Prescott High School and earning my Eagle Scout Award, I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where I received my degree in Global Security and Intelligence Studies. While there I joined the College Republicans eventually serving as President. I also served as the Vice-Chairman and Chairman of the Arizona Federation of College Republicans. I've been involved in local politics for more than 10 years. I volunteered for my first campaign during the 2008 Presidential Election and have volunteered or worked on more than a dozen campaigns since. I've also worked as a Field Director for the Arizona Republican Party as well as for the Martha McSally for Senate Campaign.

Statement:
As an elected representative, it is one’s duty to: protect your constitutional rights, represent local district interests, and to scrutinize the work of government for accountability as part of checks and balance. A representative can also draft, introduce and vote on legislation. It is NOT a representative’s sole duty to raise revenue through taxes or seek federal subsidies that indebt our state. However, some do because it is easier than finding solutions to problems such as education funding, employment availability, healthcare, poverty and hunger. For too long, representatives have believed their duty is to introduce legislation and make more rules and regulations which restrict your freedoms and create debt. It’s not a contest of who passes the most legislation or who gets the most community awards. Representatives are defenders of your civil rights and guardians of constitutional rights for every American. As a Conservative and Constitutional Republican, I will defend the right of every child to have school choice, for Americans to freely practice their choice of religion and follow their convictions. I support our veterans, law enforcement and strong border control. I support fair trade and immigration policies that keep families safe and together.

I was raised in Nogales, Arizona and had the privilege of attending K through 12 in this culturally diverse border city. My childhood hero was my grandfather, Bonifacio Bojorquez, who was born in Nogales, Arizona in 1889. My PapaGrande always said that hard work not only humbles you, but it also keeps you hungry, to this day I believe he meant this in both the literal and figurative sense. In 1989 I enlisted in the United States Army and then went on to complete mechanized infantry training in Fort Benning, Georgia. In 1991 I was awarded a Combat Infantry Badge after serving in the middle east during Operation Desert Storm. Upon receiving an Honorable Discharge I came home to Arizona, graduated from the University of Arizona in 1995 and ASU College of Law in 1999. Thereafter I served as a Tucson Public Defender, Santa Cruz County Chief Civil County Attorney, and Nogales City Attorney. Since 2009 I have worked in my own law firm in Nogales, Arizona specializing in immigration and international business. I stand ready to serve the diverse community of southern Arizona as a State Legislator during these trying times.

Billy Peard grew up on the edge of the middle class in Southern Arizona. His earliest memory is the sound of air compressors at the auto shops where Billy’s dad used to work. Billy went to Arizona public schools when we ranked 34th in the nation in funding. Today, we’re 46th. At age 15, Billy was nominated to serve as a high school intern in Washington, DC. Nine days after arriving to Washington, Billy stared at the television monitors as Flight 175 struck the World Trade Center. In April 2010, Billy was living in the East Coast while his home state embarrassed itself on the international stage. Arizona had enacted SB 1070, a law requiring local police to check a motorists’ immigration status. Billy enrolled in law school later that year, inspired to work against the national anti-immigrant trend sparked by his home state. Following law school, Billy worked as an employment lawyer and immigration lawyer in nonprofit legal aid organizations. In early 2017, Billy moved back home to contribute to local efforts to hold the current President accountable. From 2017 to 2019, Billy was a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona.

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.

My family has lived in Northern Arizona for four generations. My grandfather moved his family to Flagstaff in the 1940s to work as a lumberjack. I still live here with my daughter in the house he built. I first ran for office because the local government wasn’t listening to the people they represented, and for the last 12 years I’ve had the great pleasure of public service. I’ve seen people come together to support each other, to support our schools, churches, and institutions, and to create home-grown solutions to local issues. Together, we brought a Veteran’s Home to Flagstaff, helped incubate small businesses, funded after school care, and expanded library hours. I’ve seen education funding in Arizona fall to 49th place. I’ve seen small business owners fight obstacles to bring their dreams to fruition. I’ve seen the legislature pass legislation that prevents communities from solving their own problems. This is why I’m running for the Arizona State House. Our families deserve quality schools. Our small businesses need support to help them grow. Our cities and towns need the freedom to make their own decisions. Together we can preserve the spirit and character of rural Arizona—because we, too, are Arizona!

I’m in my second term and I'm keeping my promises -- to be a strong voice for rural Arizona, to protect taxpayers and keep our budget balanced, to increase school funding and teacher pay, and to improve our transportation and water infrastructure. I've kept those promises and many others. As the only rancher in the legislature, I’m involved in lots of issues dealing with the ranching, agriculture, and farming communities in our state. 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. My record is 100% pro-2nd Amendment, 100% pro-Life, and 100% pro-Taxpayer. And I continue to fight to ensure we get our share of funding for projects like the Tonto Bridge, often over the objections of Maricopa County legislators. There are too many politicians at the State Capitol and not enough of us regular folks who do the jobs that make Arizona work. I'll keep working my tail off to do the very best I can for you and I ask for your vote. On behalf of my awesome wife Diana and our amazing kids, thank you for your support and your continued trust!

I practiced medicine for 30 years as a Physician Assistant. I worked most of my career in rural, underserved communities like the ones I hope to represent. My patients were migrants who worked the field or pregnant teens who were scared and needed support. In emergency rooms I saw patients who could not afford their insulin nor see a dentist. I saw how hard working people struggled to afford and access the care they needed. After I retired I knew, that as a state legislator, I could still make a difference in the lives of people in my district and state. Arizona needs legislators who understand the complex world of healthcare and can speak with authority, make pragmatic decisions and craft laws that will benefit children, families and people in need. Government should serve the people ,not just big business or give special interest tax breaks. I will work for fully funded public education, Charter school reform, job training programs, a living wage for everyone, equal rights,and the healthcare everyone needs..

As a public safety advocate, he became concerned about distracted driving after responding to far too many crashes. In 2012, he launched “LOOK! Save A Life” in Southern Arizona, which fosters an environment of safety for all who utilize our public roads. A year later, he became a statistic of the very message he was advocating; struck from behind by a distracted motorist while bicycling. As he recovered, he threw himself into fighting for tougher laws against distracted driving, putting pressure on local jurisdictions throughout the state to adopt policies to make our roads safer. Then in April 2019, Governor Ducey signed Arizona’s Hands-Free bill into law. Brendan holds a Masters in Public Administration focusing in Collaborative Governance. Southern Arizona deserves a brilliant future and Brendan Lyons will continue to be a results-driven leader who works across party lines to deliver on issues that we all care about.

Statement:
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 2020. 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.

Statement:
I am running for re-election to the Arizona House of Representatives. Many times on the floor of the House, I have 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 investing our tax dollars in the People's To-Do List: education, infrastructure, healthcare, and safety and security-- instead of giving tax dollars away in tax cuts for corporations and special interest groups. I believe in equity for all, and I back ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). As a Mom and a Grandma, I want to strengthen Arizona families by focusing public health efforts on improving maternal and child health. 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. 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 vote to send me back to the House in 2020.

My name is Mabelle Gummere and I humbly ask for your vote for House of Representatives in LD10. Tucson is my home, where I raised my son, sold homes to families, and then built and ran a small business. I work hard, solve problems, and know the meaning of value in our lives. Our children’s education is a quagmire that is ridiculous and unacceptable. The value of owning a home is simply unquestionable. Government regulations should never bind our teachers and parents or our ability to build and own a home, and now they do. Police and Military must be fully funded for our safety. I am running because I love Tucson and I love people and will always be available to talk and listen to you. I remember one of the happiest days of my mother’s life was the day she received her citizenship. Her belief that anything is possible with hard work and dedication inspired me to become anything I wanted to be. I want to be your LD10 Representative and am asking for your vote. Taking the oath to represent you, as a first generation American, will be one of the happiest days in my life!

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.

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 am a firm believer in the creed God, Country, Family. Why? My father raised me on US Military bases from West Germany, to South Korea and from Ft. Rucker Alabama & Ft. Eustis Virginia to Ft. Ord California. We went through Checkpoint Charlie into EAST Berlin when the wall still divided east and west, we walked behind the hidden bookcase into the attic where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary, and we visited Hitler's Eagles Nest. This upbringing and parental guided education shaped me into a fervent America-First nationalist who believes in the divinely inspired Constitution of the United States and righteousness of our nation. Socialism and Communism... used to be justifiably hated and despised by all Americans, until it was allowed to creep into public schools, colleges, and our media. The most vile threat we Americans face, is allowing ourselves or our children to be duped into believing the biggest lie of the 20th century, that Government can do a better job at running people's lives than they can.

I am 100% Pro-Life, Pro-Constitution, Pro-Limited Government, Pro-Family, & Pro-Religious Freedom. I’m a lifelong Republican and currently a PC and State Committeeman for LD-16.

I’m fluent in Spanish having served church and medical missions in Texas, Mexico, Ecuador, and Nicaragua, so I understand better than most what is needed to secure our borders and stop illegal immigration. After joining the Arizona State Bar and spending several years in private practice, I’m currently a legal policy advisor at the Corporation Commission where I draft policy and legislation that has limited government and put money back into the pockets of Arizona rate payers. With my education and training, I’m the most qualified candidate to start fighting back on Day 1 against the democrat agenda infusing our legislature. Arizona voters deserve new conservative leadership with a proven ability to deliver results and solutions. Remember PARKER on your PRIMARY ballot.

Statement:
After moving to Chandler in the late-90s, Arizona is the place I call home. It’s an amazing state but the things that make it successful are under attack. Ironically, liberals fleeing high-tax, high-regulation states are moving to low-tax, low-regulation states like Arizona, but they’re bringing their liberal policies and voting habits with them. We need to make sure we don’t let this leftward push ruin everything that’s working in Arizona. I’ll work to protect school choice, teacher pay increases, and strong K-12 support. I’ll advocate for secure borders and the enforcement of our laws. I’ll work for a strong economy and safe neighborhoods. And I’ll oppose efforts to raise taxes or give government greater control over our lives and daily decisions. As a servant leader for the last several decades, I am committed to you and I will work tirelessly to get the job done! I’m a wife and mother, blessed with three great kids. I’ve worked in real estate for the last 15 years and have served in a variety of community and industry positions. I ask for your vote so I can get to work with Jeff Weninger and do all I can for Arizona and our district!

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. I enjoyed serving on the Council as Vice Mayor and I am now termed out. 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 teachers, 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. If you want a Proven Champion for Taxpayers and Families, I ask for your vote!

I have always enjoyed listening to your stories at your door, or in community meetings, or sometimes at the grocery store! As your representative, my work centers on building opportunities for high quality public education, the innovation economy, and a healthy environment. Our parks, waterways, and roads are vitally important to our quality of life, and our neighborhoods need support to maintain their beauty and safety. In order to make serious steps forward we need long term plans and legislators who work in teams, not in silos. I've formed teams to work on a variety of issues including fair elections, government accountability, criminal justice reform, and high-paying job opportunities. We, the leaders of these groups, communicate regularly. I lead and focus on these topics: "Education Funding" should be fair, adequate, sustainable and transparent. "School Accountability" for charter school reforms to address the problems in the headlines, while supporting what works in charter and district schools. "Tenants and Landlords" for streamlined contracts that can help renters and landlords, and reduce evictions in Arizona. "Neighbors Council" continues to develop solutions for access to mental healthcare and suicide prevention.

At the age of seven, Leezah's parents immigrated to the United States from South Korea, a generation after her family fled from China to escape the Chinese Civil War. The promise of freedom and opportunity brought Leezah’s parents to the US. like many other immigrant families, they saw America as a beacon of hope in a dark, chaotic world. Leezah is a mother, first and foremost. Her political awakening happened in her son’s elementary school, where she discovered the threat for-profit charter schools pose to public education. She is devoted to improving public schools so all Arizona children will have an opportunity to realize their American Dream. She is currently drafting legislation that would impose new transparency requirements on charter schools. Leezah supports the importance of healthcare for all Arizonans. Quality care should be a right, not a privilege. People should not suffer because corrupt politicians are in the pockets of hospitals, private insurers, and pharmaceutical companies. Leezah believes special interest groups are making a mockery of our Constitution, she signed a pledge to run as a Citizens Clean Elections candidate. That means that she has vowed never to take special interest or big donor dollars for her campaign.

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.

We want to share it and preserve it. We love our wildlife, animals, open spaces, sports, and families. Protecting them is vital to our community. We want to protect all our vets because they protected us. That is what we do! No veterans should be in our streets and teachers should have the tools to teach to innovation rather than tests. Preparation for the future is more important than ever before. Protecting the most vulnerable is what we as an affluent district can do. The young and the old will not be left behind. Together we have the intelligence to make this an outstanding district in the United States. I want better communication, collaboration, and participation and it will be great!

With an academic background in finance, Eric understands the importance of making smart investments in good times and bad, an insight desperately needed in our Legislature. To have a strong economy we need to create opportunities for businesses and jobs. To build a strong Arizona we need to prepare future generations with the skills to create those businesses and fill those jobs. This means investments in public education so all Arizonans can realize their full potential. It’s providing local control to county and city governments so the people closest to home can help build thriving communities. Maybe most importantly, it’s time to bring civility back into our politics. If this pandemic taught us anything, it’s that we’re all in this together and to move forward we have to look out for our neighbors and build each other up. Eric lives in Scottsdale with his wife, also a public school educator, and their son.

Statement:
Jen was paralyzed in a random shooting in 2004. While in a coma, her insurance company dropped her coverage citing a preexisting condition. She awoke to find she had lost everything; her family, her home, and her career. Her early fights for her post-injury survival sparked a journey of service, advocacy and community leadership. Jen has traveled the nation working on one of the most contentious issues of our time, gun violence prevention. She helped organize Arizona’s largest gun buy-back program. Along with her fight to prevent gun violence, Jen has worked for universal healthcare, policing reform, fought for civil rights protections for the disability and LGBTQ community by working to pass the historic Phoenix non-discrimination ordinance. Prior to her injury, she was an active “PTA mom” and a successful business woman. Her goal has been to leave a legacy for her child, who was 12 at time of her shooting, and by extension, create a better future for all our children.

The Loughrige family has been in Tempe since 1933. Bill retired as a Senior Special Agent for the US Customs Service after 35 years in Law Enforcement. After retirement he has operated a PI Process Serving and Security Guard service. Active in the community, Bill is currently President of the Tempe Sunrise Kiwanis and the Walker Fire Protection Association near Prescott, AZ. A wage earner all his life, and part of a large active family, he believes a strong family is important. Freedom from governmental restrictions allows success and a strong culture. There is a place for regulation, but they should be aimed to allow growth. Government restrictions have made keeping a nuclear family together difficult and at the same time made access to help so restrictive that many people just give up and sometimes even end up on the street. Bill’s platform is independent living and security for seniors and children. We need to know our children and seniors are safe and secure in their life and possessions. We need government to shore up partnerships with private organizations to provide food, shelter and safety for those that need it.

My name is Seth Marcus Sifuentes, and I am running for the Arizona State Legislature in District 26. I am a Navy Veteran, husband and father of three, a blue-collar worker with experience as a helicopter mechanic, field engineer in the semi-conductor field and a Naval Reservist. One thing I have never been is a politician. I was too young when the 2010 Tea-Party kicked off, but the power of a grass-roots movement in shaking up a political system was truly inspirational to me. We made a return to the political model that was laid forth by our founding fathers, that public policy is not meant to be dictated only by lawyers, executives, and lobbyists. It is also meant to be run by the farmers, manufacturers, medical professionals, teachers and more. My goal is to fight for the middle class. I am not accepting any PAC or corporate money of any type, because I have faith that with a strong enough message and help from voters who truly care about their community we can accomplish our mission and make the future of Arizona brighter for our children and grandchildren. Continued Service, Seth Marcus Sifuentes

Let’s give families and children a bigger voice. I’m a mother of three children, social worker, a volunteer for a public school parent committee, a founder of youth leadership-focused nonprofit, and an active volunteer with community-focused organizations. As an experienced social worker, I intend to put our families first. The needs of our community, including the health and safety of our families, should remain the highest priority when public resources are allocated. I intend to get a number of things accomplished as your House Representative. First, I’ll prioritize increased transparency and accountability in education spending, particularly with charter and other nontraditional K-12 schools funded with public dollars. Second, I will work with parents and school leaders to find solutions to protect our children from violence. Finally, I will work to strike the right balance between economic prosperity and conservation of our natural resources. Our limited water supply, coupled with our recent economic and population growth, requires us to thoughtfully plan for any further growth. When elected, I will work with diverse community stakeholder groups to achieve inclusive policy making. A vote for me is a vote for better representation of all families in our district.
