Julie Willoughby
Candidate for Arizona State Senate – District 13
Arizona · Legislative District 13
Statement
As a proud ASU graduate and long-time Arizonan, I've built my life here alongside my husband and children, and what happens in this state matters deeply to me. Serving as Majority Whip in the Arizona House, we've worked hard to cut taxes, invest in public education, and expand economic opportunity for Arizona families. My main priorities are focused on policies that protect children and families. I've passed legislation banning inappropriate material on children's apps, criminalizing child AI explicit imagery, and expanding postpartum depression support for new mothers. My record has earned endorsements from the Arizona Nursing Association, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, Arizona's public safety community, and many others. My time as a lawmaker is solely focused on delivering results for Arizona families, and I want to continue that work for you in the Arizona Senate. I would be honored to have your vote.
