Tyree: I am committed to serving you in Arizona Senate

Posted

Neighbors and friends, my name is Sarah Tyree and I want to earn your vote to be the next state senator for Legislative District 22.

I am an Arizona native, social worker, eight-year army veteran and former foster care youth. I have my bachelor’s degrees in social work and political science, and a master’s degree in social work. At the age of 17, I joined the U.S. Army as an aviation communication equipment repairer and later reclassified as a civil affairs specialist.

As a team leader in the Army, I learned the importance of teamwork and leadership. These skills were the center of assisting and planning government procedures for regional and national emergencies and I will use them to serve you at our state capitol.

Over the past 14 years, I have dedicated myself, both professionally and in my personal life, to combating systemic oppression for underserved populations. This includes my years of experience working with children of incarcerated parents, incarcerated children, in-home birth to five prevention/early intervention, state-level family consulting, domestic violence, mental health and military family special needs.

As your state senator, I will avidly advocate to expand veteran care and services. I will be dedicated to fighting for teachers and ensuring all K-12 students have access to classes that build essential life skills.

I will reappropriate funding for programs that keep children safe and families together. I will fight for complete prohibition of health care “surprise billing.” I will partner with the small and local businesses within our community because their success is our success.

I am committed to partnering with everyone in our community. We must come together to find solutions to challenges, build strong and sustainable communities, and ensure our district and our state thrive. This is not only good policy, it is our ethical obligation to each other and our future generations.

Together, we will build an Arizona where everyone succeeds.

Regardless of who you vote for, or what party you belong to, I am committed to serving you, all of our district and our state. I have the dedication, I have the experience, and I have the leadership skills, to be an effective member of the Arizona Legislature. It will be an honor and privilege to represent not only Legislative District 22, but our great state of Arizona.

I am Sarah Tyree and I humbly and respectfully ask for your support and your vote on your early ballot or at the polls on Nov. 3.
