Equality Arizona

Equality Arizona is proud to endorse candidates who are committed to advancing equality, protecting LGBTQ+ rights, and building a more inclusive Arizona. From our schools and public safety systems to healthcare access, civil rights protections, and economic opportunity, the decisions made closest to home often have the greatest impact on our communities. Through our committee process, we’ve identified leaders who understand that local and state government can be a force for positive change when it is responsive, representative, and accountable to the people it serves.

We’re honored to support candidates who are stepping up to lead, advocate for their communities, and help create an Arizona where everyone has the opportunity to live, work, and thrive.

Candidates are listed in no particular order.

Today we honor the service members who gave their lives in service to our country—including those in the LGBTQ+ community who served while forced to hide who they were, and those who carried the weight of discrimination alongside their duty. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment helped shape the freedoms we continue to fight for today.

On Memorial Day, we remember those we lost and recognize the generations of LGBTQ+ people who served with honor, resilience, and love for their communities and country. We carry their stories forward and recommit ourselves to building a future where everyone can serve, live, and exist with dignity.
