Here is a recording of the Legislative Session recap that I did for LD18 in July 2022.

Author and historian John Nichols remembers my Tweet on Election Day 2016.

The Journey

Post card party volunteers

Red for Ed

Minority Leader Charlene Fernandez and Rep. Pamela Powers Hannley hold a list of Arizona voters who supported ratification of the ERA on the Legislature’s Request to Speak System.

Standing here with Eduardo and other local Steelworkers. My Dad and my husband were both Steelworkers.

Rep. Randy Friese, Senator Steve Farley, and me.

Being interviewed at anti-Trump rally, 2017.

Women’s March, Tucson

Ways and Means Committee, 2019-20

Migrant workers quickly chop and trim giant, lush heads of Romaine lettuce and toss them onto a conveyor belt for the next person.

I was proud to walk the ASARCO picket line with other members of the local National Writers Union.

NAACP Dinner

Wear a mask

My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona. The Living Economy event was informative.

Despite the sweltering heat, Jim and I had a great time at the Labor Day Picnic. We collected a lot of Clean Elections $5 donations and signatures. Here I am with LD9 chair Michael Dues.

More than 70 members of the Arizona League of Women Voters came to the Capitol in February to lobby the Arizona Legislature on behalf of ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Here are a few ERA supporters from LD9. You could see the Equal Rights for Women sashes all over the Capitol that day. Waves of women’s groups and protesters have came to the Capitol to support the ERA. The Republicans are still stalling. They don’t want their members to be “embarrassed” by voting against equal rights for women. There are more women in Arizona than there are Republicans.

Peace Fair

Volunteers, 2016

Sabino Canyon, Tucson, sunset, LD9

Parents, teachers, and public school advocates speak out against using taxpayer money to fund private and religious schools. Here I am with Reps. Isela Blanc (second from left) and Kelli Butler (third from the right).

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA Tucson) and the Pima Area Labor Federation (PALF) hosted an evening with author and historian John Nichols in early March.

I am so proud to serve with these women: Reps. Wenona Benally, Mitze Epstein, Geraldine Peten, Athena Salman, Kelli Butler, me, Isela Blanc, and Kirsten Engel in the front. The House Democratic Caucus rocks.
