The Democratic Primary is Aug. 2, 2022 (you can confirm or check your voter registration at the Secretary of State’s website). From now on, our meetings will afford you a chance to meet the candidates who are running, as well as updates from our Arizona House Representative for LD13, Jennifer Pawlik.

Speakers:

Marilou Estes, Candidate for School Board, Chandler Unified School District

Ms. Estes has been a teacher in the Chandler Unified School District for 23 years. Currently retired but still doing substitute teaching, she is running to help navigate the issues before the School Board and the community. If you are paying CUSD taxes, you need to attend, as there are two open seats on the School Board this election cycle.

Javier Ramos, Candidate for U.S. House, Congressional District 5

Mr. Ramos ran for the Democratic nomination for U.S. House, CD 5, in the 2020 primary. A lawyer with a deep background in tribal law, Mr. Ramos has had many years of experience dealing with Congress and D.C. politics. The current CD 5 U.S. House Representative is Andy Biggs.

Jennifer Pawlik, AZ House Representative, LD17 (now LD13 due to redistricting)

Rep. Pawlik will update us about the 2022 Legislative session and the bills before it. As a teacher and on the House Education committee, she will provide insight to bills that will impact our schools and upcoming elections.
