Sandra Clark (D)I have never anticipated running for office. For the past 20+years I have lived in AZ, first in Tucson, and now in Green Valley, serving as an elected PC in both cities. I have worked and supported Bernie Sanders' campaigns, but that was until now the totality of my political life.
Because LD-19 was created to elect Republicans, with a 22% deficit, no Democrat was willing to run. That was simply unacceptable to me. When Ukrainians, young and old are willing to die to protect freedom, staying home at this moment is wrong. Handing over seats without a fight is unacceptable.
It is with a strong determination that I decided to run to fight to ""keep our Republic"", while not perfect, there is no better place on Earth. This country has given me the life my parents never had. It is time for me to give back.
