PHOENIX, AZ — Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today congratulated Arizona Legislature candidates on their election victories: State Rep. Justin Wilmeth (LD-02), George Khalaf (LD-03), and State Rep. Teresa Martinez (LD-16). The group’s endorsed slate will bring committed lawmakers to Phoenix ready to lower costs for Arizona families.
Arizona households are absorbing higher costs for housing, utilities, and groceries. The winning candidates have committed to the reforms that reach those costs directly: clearing the permitting and zoning barriers that keep new homes off the market, restraining state spending, keeping the flat income tax intact, and cutting occupational licensing rules that price Arizonans out of work. Each also has a record of defending the education options Arizona families rely on.
Stephen Shadegg, Senior Advisor to AFP Action, issued the following statement:
“Congratulations to each of these candidates on their election wins. Arizona families are paying more for groceries, housing, and electricity than they were two years ago—and voters just sent lawmakers to Phoenix ready to address it. Those lawmakers are committed to holding the line on spending, keeping Arizona’s tax code competitive, and protecting the school choice programs that tens of thousands of families now depend on.
“These were some of the state’s most competitive districts, and our activists showed up week after week through Election Day. Each of these winners will carry that grassroots momentum into the next session.”
