Statement
As your State Senator, I work for you. I'm here to listen and take action for you and your family. When I first ran for office, I never imagined I'd be defending Arizona from a second Trump administration—one even more cruel, authoritarian, and dangerous than the last. State legislatures are one of the last lines of defense—and one of the first places where people-powered progress can begin. I am running for a third-term because I am committed to continuing the progress we've made. With your support, I passed heat protections for outdoor workers, secured historic investments into childcare and affordable housing, and fought to strengthen public schools. I take action daily for Maryvale and Glendale residents in need of help. The working class is hurting while Trump and his Billionaire buddies get richer. Enough is enough. I will not stop fighting to lower costs, increase wages, and protect human rights. I've proven that bold, compassionate leadership is possible. I'm ready to keep fighting alongside my endorsements for the State House, Lisbeth Arescurenaga and Alberto Flores. We hope to earn your vote in the July 21 Primary Election.
