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.
