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. On November 8, we are asking our fellow Arizona voters to elect a Legislature that will commit to prioritizing and funding public education.
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 find out here.
Our first round of endorsed candidates are in districts SOSAZ has targeted as highly competitive. We at SOSAZ are thrilled to announce our support of these incredible candidates.Â
"As a new mom, I am dedicated to strengthening schools’ partnerships with families because we can all agree - Arizona’s future starts in our schools."
#PublicSchoolProud state legislative candidates have pledged to:
- Support raising per-pupil funding for Arizona public schools through new dollars from the General Fund
- Vote against any and all expansions of the ESA voucher program and other voucher-like programs by any name
- Introduce or vote for legislation that increases accountability, transparency and oversight of the ESA voucher program and holds voucher schools to the same financial accountability and standards as public schools
- Introduce or vote for legislation capping the growth and/or size of the existing ESA voucher program, returning it to an entitlement used only by a small proportion of qualified Arizona students
