SOSAZ Congratulates the 2026 Public School Proud State Legislative Candidates
At Save Our Schools Arizona, we know that strong public schools build a strong state.
After decades of funding cuts and privatization schemes passed by our State Legislature, bold action is required to save our schools. This November 3, 2026, we are asking our fellow Arizona voters to elect a Legislature that will commit to prioritizing and funding public education for our children, for our state, and for our future.
Arizona has 30 legislative districts (LDs). Each district elects two representatives and one senator. If you’re not sure which LD you live in, you can go HERE.
SOSAZ is thrilled to announce our support of these candidates who have pledged their support to Arizona’s public school students, educators, and communities.
#PublicSchoolProud state legislative candidates have pledged to support public school students, educators, and families, and to:
- Advocate for increased funding for Arizona public schools via investments of new, dedicated, permanent dollars from the general fund
- Publicly advocate for all students, educators and families to have access to safe, inclusive school environments, and to oppose any legislation that would prevent students from feeling safe and included at school
- Introduce or vote for legislation that increases accountability, transparency and oversight of the ESA voucher program and holds voucher-funded private schools to the same financial accountability and standards as public schools
- Work to address Arizona’s teacher retention crisis and help to ensure Arizona attracts and retains the best educators for our students
- Work to address the Aggregate Expenditure Limit issue in order to avoid future public school shutdown crises and to ensure the possibility of proper funding
- Work to address Prop 123 in order to ensure stable funding for public schools relying on the state land trust
