My name is Carmen Casillas. I am the proud daughter of the late Hortensia B. and Alfred S. Escobedo. I am a former City Councilmember and Vice Mayor of Globe. I was also the founder and CEO of the D.V.V.A. (Domestic Violence Victim’s Advocate) Response Team, which helped victims of domestic violence when there were no laws in place to do so.
Today, I am announcing that I am running for the Arizona House of Representatives in Legislative District 8 to help create a better future for our State. I have fought for the interests of our rural communities throughout my career, and will continue to do the same as your Representative in the State Legislature.
My four priorities are:
• Ensuring that our children have access to high-quality education
• Helping our small businesses to grow and create jobs
• Providing our law enforcement agencies with the tools and resources they need to serve our rural communities
• Maintaining our agriculture industry
I have the courage to put the interests of my constituents ahead of those of special interests and lobbyists. By threatening KidsCare, taking money away from our public schools, and promoting the use of dark money, our current leaders have made it clear whose interests they serve. Our great state deserves better and we must work to move it forward by electing new leaders.
I am asking for your vote to create a better Arizona and a brighter future of our children.
Thank you,
/s/ Carmen Casillas
