Brittani Barraza
State Senator - District 27
Democratic
Brittani has lived Phoenix her whole life and has seen how much it has changed. She has seen first hand how families are affected by the prison system, how many people don't have access to an affordable place to live and how lack of funding for public schools has left our children and teachers at a disadvantage. Brittani cares deeply about helping folks from all backgrounds and improving the lives of everyday Phoenicians. Brittani isn't a career politician, she is a working mom just like so many voters. Her top priorities are ensuring everyone has affordable housing, combatting food insecurity, funding public education and creating better access to healthcare including reproductive rights. We deserve a voice in our State Senate and Brittani will fight hard for our district.

As a former legislator, I have a proven record of fighting inflation and the reckless government spending that powers it. I voted to decrease taxes while simultaneously increase K-12 funding and teacher pay by 20%. I support first responders, securing our southern border, election integrity and transparency measures, second amendment, low taxes, safe neighborhoods, and balanced budgets. We must work to secure our water resources for our future and our children's future. We can make government focus on its core responsibilities by saying NO to the special interests that come looking for taxpayer-funded handouts. My opponent supports radical ideas such as defunding the police, open borders, and ideas that will eliminate Arizona jobs and cost taxpayers billions. If you want to elect someone with a proven record of supporting law enforcement, K-12 funding, teachers, defending individual liberties and more, then please vote Anthony Kern for State Senate. I've been awarded the Liberty Award, Friend of the Family Award, and Hero of the Taxpayer Award and I never forget that I work exclusively for YOU! Please vote Anthony Kern for State Senate, Ben Toma and Kevin Payne for State House. On behalf of my wife and family, thank you!
Don Kissinger
State Representative - District 27
Democratic
I'm running as the Democratic candidate for District 27 Representative because I believe that rights and freedoms we have long taken for granted are under assault. I am a retired engineer, a 36 year Arizona resident, a father of 3 and grandfather of 4. I hope to provide District 27 voters a real choice in the November General Election. I am pro choice and will work to roll back the draconian restrictions on reproductive freedom enacted by the legislature. I am a supporter of our public schools and will work to ensure they are adequately funded and that teacher pay reflects their importance to our future. I oppose the education voucher expansion recently passed by the legislature. I firmly believe that Arizona elections have been and continue to be free and fair. I support the permanent early voting list and no excuse vote by mail. I will support changes that make voting easier. I will oppose any laws that make voting more difficult or that disenfranchise any lawful voters. I believe that climate change, the associated water shortages, and extreme heat are among the most important issues facing our state.

I'm a working Joe who ran for office to make government work better. I'm a conservative US Navy Veteran who promised to look out for you and, working with my fellow Representative Ben Toma, kept that promise. You elected us, we went to work, and we kept our promises by fighting for strong election integrity and transparency measures, secure borders (finish that wall ASAP), low taxes, safe neighborhoods, and more. We passed the largest tax cut in Arizona history, expanded school choice options for our kids, and more. As Chairman of the House Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee, I've led efforts to Back The Blue, support first responders, and look after our military bases and veterans. And my voting record is 100% pro-2A, pro-Constitution, pro-life, and pro-Arizona. We are running as a team with Anthony Kern for State Senate, who has a strong voting record of his own. Reject fringe candidates who want to turn our state into California, we deserve better! Vote Kern, Toma and Payne and let's keep Arizona growing and thriving! Thank you!

I'm a husband, father, small-business owner, and committed conservative. As the House Majority Leader I've worked with my seatmate Kevin Payne and passed reforms to make our elections more secure and transparent. I authored and led passage of the largest tax cut in state history, produced record tax revenues, increased K-12 classroom funding and teacher pay, voted to stop to Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other left-wing attempts to indoctrinate our kids, and have one of the strongest economies and job markets in the nation. I have a 100% pro-Constitution voting record and, as the father of five girls, am absolutely committed to protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. I'm running as a team with Anthony Kern and Kevin Payne because we need legislators who are committed to protecting taxpayers, limiting the size of government, battling inflation and high prices, improving our health care system, and protecting our liberties. This battle is not for the faint of heart, but you can count on us to work together to protect Arizona. We ask for your vote!
