OPINION — Education is foundational to our community and economy, which is why I am voting for Stephanie Walsh for State Senate to represent Legislative District 14. She will provide a strong and consistent voice supporting our public schools.
Stephanie is endorsed by Save Our Schools Arizona and by the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce. She clearly understands and articulates the connection between a vibrant and innovative public-education system and the positive impacts on economic development.
Stephanie is not a career politician. She built her career for over 30 years as a mechanical engineer who was founder and former owner/CEO of an engineering firm. As a business leader, she supports workforce training partnerships among high schools, technical and community colleges, universities and businesses. Stephanie also is an advocate for strengthening early childhood education and school-readiness programs, such as First Things First, as early learning is foundational to school success.
