Arizona State House

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Aaron Márquez – a veteran of multiple political campaigns and the United States Army – grew up in

Arizona, served our country through two deployments to Afghanistan, and has fought for progressive

change in Arizona and nationwide. In 2020, voters elected Aaron to the at-large seat of the Phoenix Union

High School District Governing Board, where he has been fighting for progressive change to

improve local public schools for our students and their families. In the State House, Aaron will fight to

repeal universal vouchers for private schools, draining funding from our public school districts, and he

will fight to protect abortion rights.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

In the State House, I will fight alongside Governor Hobbs to repeal universal vouchers for private schools, draining funding from our public school districts, and I will fight to protect abortion rights.In Democratic majority districts like District 5 in Central Phoenix, we need to increase voter turnout, especially Latino voter turnout. We must support Democratic candidates in swing districts like Paradise Valley, Chandler, and North Phoenix. We cannot bring real change to Arizona without giving Governor Hobbs a Democratic majority in the state legislature.As the Democratic nominee for District 5, I will

continue campaigning after the July 30th Democratic Primary to ensure we stop Donald Trump, defeat

Kari Lake, and flip the state legislature. As an Army veteran, I swore an oath to defend our democracy. I

know how much of a threat Donald Trump poses to the future of our democracy. We cannot debate

education policy or abortion policy if we end up with an authoritarian in the White House. We need to

fight for Kamala Harris and Ruben Gallego in November.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I will bring my experience from the school board,

the Army, and as a dad to fight for a better Arizona in the state legislature.
