Legislative District 16
House of Representatives
Chris Lopez
Lopez supports using taxpayer dollars for private education through the voucher program, regardless of the family's income, instead of investing in public schools. (13)
Chris has not served in any positions relating to education and has no educational background discussed publicly.
Lopez is supported by extremists such as Teresa Martinez (14).
Keith Seaman
Keith has worked as a public school teacher in rural Arizona for 40 years.
Seaman has seen all sides of education, from being a parent to serving as a teacher and a school board member, and through these positions, saw that rural voices needed more visibility on the state level.
In just his first term, Keith proved that he is a relentless champion for Arizona's public schools, refusing to back down in the fight against extremist Republicans who wanted to defund public education completely.
