David Richardson
Candidate for Arizona State House – District 12
Arizona · Legislative District 12
Statement
Education changed my life and now my children will never know poverty the way I did. As we navigate this new AI revolution, education has never been more important and I am committed to ensuring all children have access to high-quality education. As a business owner, I know exactly what it takes to create jobs and how the government can make it easier (or harder) to pay people more. And as a scientist-engineer, I have the experience needed to address complex issues around power and water in our state. We deserve leaders who will rally around our shared values and move to unite us rather than divide us, who think with a long-term mindset, and who don't just criticize to score political points but rather who innovate to solve them. I don't want to be a career politician. I want to help my community and then return home to enjoy my family.
Biography
I am an engineer, businessman, and proud father to three little ones. Growing up in a rented guest house in Phoenix, I became a first-generation college graduate and founded multiple businesses — living proof of the American Dream. I'm committed to keeping that same opportunity within reach for every Arizona family. Through decades of humanitarian work locally and overseas, developing medical devices to reduce pain, creating tools for cancer research and treatments, and serving in my local church – I have committed my time and career to helping others. I will continue to do so at the State Legislature.
