Mae Peshlakai
State Representative - District 6
Democratic
I am Dine’ (Navajo); Tangle People Clan and born for the Deer Water Clan. As a child, I attended a U.S. Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs Boarding School in Tolani Lake, Arizona, 70 miles northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. I am a boarding school survivor. In 1965, after marrying my husband, James Peshlakai, an accomplished silver and goldsmith, I took up silversmithing and, to this day, make jewelry every day, as well as weave. I know the issues and challenges of District 7 and work tirelessly for the communities of rural and tribal Northern Arizona. I know we need our voices heard and made more effective every day. As a Precinct and State Committee Member of the Arizona Democratic Party, I have worked or volunteered on the majority of tribal, county, state and federal elections since 1974. I have traveled all of Arizona’s Legislative District 7 ( new LD6) to register voters, collect signatures for candidate petitions, referendums, and educate constituents on the US census and the 2021 Redistricting of Arizona. I am committed to be the voice of the people of rural and tribal Arizona.
Deydrek "Dey" Scott
State Representative - District 6
Democratic
My name is Deydrek “Dey” Scott and I am DinÉ from Tuba City. I have been active in local and state politics for 13 years, I have been registering voters and providing community outreach. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Public Administration at Northern Arizona University. I received my undergraduate degree from DinÉ College. I serve as a Planning and Zoning Member for the Tó Nanees Dizí Local Government. In my many years of work, I took notice of the obstacles that Rural Arizonans face when trying to cast their ballots, registering to vote or even applying for a state identification card. Having worked at the State Senate, I know the work it will take to defend our voting rights, reproductive choice for women, and water rights for our communities. Legislators need to make sure that public school districts have the funding so that they are able to hire qualified educators to meet the needs of our students, better pay for teachers and more support staff and counselors. I hope that I can have your vote on Tuesday August 2nd, 2022.
