Brendan Trachsel

Brendan Trachsel is the Green Party nominee for the Arizona House of Representatives in Legislative District 6. A Flagstaff-based organizer and student affairs professional, he holds a bachelor's degree in parks and recreation management and a master's degree in counseling and student affairs from Northern Arizona University, graduating in 2023 and 2026. In his Ballotpedia survey he described himself as 25 years old and said his platform reflects his Quaker faith. His campaign says he helped lead a nine-month organizing effort that led the City of Flagstaff to cancel its Flock Safety surveillance camera contract in December 2025. His platform includes collective bargaining rights, fully funding public schools while ending universal school vouchers, privacy protections, and ranked-choice voting. He won the Green Party primary as a write-in candidate and faces Democrats Mae Peshlakai, the incumbent, and Ian Teller, as well as Republican write-in candidate Royce Jenkins, in the November 3, 2026 general election for the district's two House seats.
