Censors what can be said in our schools and institutions relating to race, ethnicity, intersectionality, gender identity, or sexual orientation, or any related practices or concepts the legislature chooses to ban. A power grab by a state legislature that wants to drag us backwards.

Caps municipal sales taxes on food for home consumption at 2% and requires voter approval for new or increased food taxes; cities and towns already above 2% are frozen at their current rate rather than rolled back. The Arizona League of Cities and Towns calls Prop 316 a “meaningful compromise” on food taxes, that would allow cities and towns to “retain their existing resources, so city services are not negatively impacted.”

A one-size-fits-all sports ban that treats kindergartners the same as college athletes and limits opportunities for all girls to participate in team sports. Enables parents who think a kid is on the “wrong” team to sue schools.

Requires local voter approval before a municipal government can use traffic enforcement cameras, which increasingly include automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology, like that used by Flock. The state government would be entirely prohibited from using new traffic enforcement cameras systems not already in place. Any technology that tracks the movement of cars and people throughout our streets is prone to abuse.

Does not send a dime of new funding to Arizona schools or teachers. Instead, forces schools to cut teacher pay or fire nurses, counselors, special education and other staff, if they don’t meet arbitrary benchmarks made by a political appointee.

Court of Appeals, Division I
Michael Catlett is a reactionary extremist who led Arizona’s push to criminalize abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned. A conservative lawyer, he was appointed to the bench in the final weeks of Governor Ducey’s term as part of a last-ditch effort to stack Arizona courts before Governor Katie Hobbs could take office. In 2024, he wrote the opinion that handed the personal information of 218,000 Arizona voters over to a far-right group that promotes election conspiracy theories. His deep ties to Arizona Republican operatives suggest that he will continue to use his position on the bench to push conservative policies that hurt working families.

James Morse has a troubling record of rulings against vulnerable Arizonans. In 2020, he was part of a three-judge panel that forced ASU to reinstate a student accused of sexual misconduct — ruling that a lower court should have disregarded the teenage victim’s statement. In 2024, he sided with Kari Lake and a conservative news outlet pushing to unseal divorce records for Ruben Gallego — even though his wife, Mayor Kate Gallego, said that making the records public could put her young son in danger.

Jennifer Perkins has repeatedly sided with big corporations over Arizona families. In 2025, she ruled that a corporation could convert an Oak Creek trailer park into short-term rentals for tourists — locking residents out of one of the few remaining affordable housing options in the Sedona area. In another much-criticized ruling, she authored a decision that shielded a nursing home from liability after an elderly woman was killed on their property. In an unusual departure from judicial decorum, Perkins maintains an active Twitter account, where she has posted repeatedly about her religious views and support for Republican politicians.

David Weinzweig is a reactionary judge who sides with big corporations over Arizona families.

In another controversial ruling, he sided with a mining company that wanted to dump polluted water into Santa Cruz County waterways. He also sided with a troubled charter school network that was trying to escape accountability after it was accused of stealing more than $500,000 from Arizona taxpayers.

Clara Pratte is a member of the Navajo Nation and grew up on the nation in a small town called Lupton on the Arizona / New Mexico border. Her family did not have access to utilities or running water until she was in middle school so this race, to oversee Arizona’s utilities, is personal. Clara built her career on public service and is now a successful small business owner and entrepreneur as well as a mom to two boys. Her career spans decades of successful work advocating for tribal communities and small businesses, including serving under three U.S. Presidents and four Navajo Nation Presidents. Clara is running to lower costs for Arizonans, restore integrity to the Arizona Corporation Commission, strengthen consumer protections, and ensure Arizona urgently harnesses its clean energy potential before it’s too late.

Encanto Precinct Justice Court
Deborah Ann Begay proviene de una larga línea de guerreros indígenas y sirvió veinte años en las Reservas Navales de los Estados Unidos en su honor. Deborah es madre dos espíritus de tres hijos,
y fue recientemente ordenada diácona en New Hope UCC en Phoenix. Como exjueza de paz del precinto Moon Valley, Deborah redujo las multas de tráfico permitiendo que se realizara trabajo comunitario en su lugar, y dio a las personas su día ante la corte programando audiencias antes de que se emitan órdenes de arresto. Como jueza de paz de Encanto, Deborah seguirá trabajando para crear un sistema de justicia más equitativo, incluyendo ayudar a las personas a encontrar recursos para pagar su alquiler y priorizar la emisión de órdenes de protección de manera oportuna. Begay cuenta con el respaldo de la Organización Nacional para las Mujeres.
