“Why does this matter you may ask…I like all candidates and whatever you may say…Returns for the primary are a bell weather for the general and allow judgements on “enthusiasm” among voters. If enthusiasm among your parties voters seems low (i.e. voting is sluggish) or about how it’s always been, the national party has less incentive to invest finite resources in your state which means your party has less chance of winning.”- Lori Marie

Both speakers bring varied experiences to their campaigns for state office, appealing to voters who are looking for a re-commitment by state government to improve education funding, voter protections and healthcare.

Her work history includes over 20 years guiding homeless youth to a ‘road to self-sufficiency’, domestic violence and behavioral health. Votesmart gives her high points as a humanitarian and a “Liberal in a sea of conservatism”.
Felicia French, a third generation Arizonian, is a retired Army Colonel, combat medivac helicopter pilot, and registered nurse who have a Masters in Sustainable Solutions. Her campaign issues centers on education, student achievements, assessable vocational training and healthcare.
