Senate

Legislative District 2

Shawnna Bolick

  • Bolick has advocated to allow taxpayer money to be used to pay for private schools with little to no oversight or transparency - leading to ballooning costs for Arizona taxpayers with little to no answers about where the money is actually going. (1)

  • Bolick supports letting people walk around college campuses carrying fully loaded automatic weapons. She supported legislation allowing concealed carry for students at community colleges and universities. (2)

  • Bolick was a key supporter of the law that allowed the state’s 1864 abortion ban to go into effect. When she realized it was deeply unpopular she switched sides to vote for the ban’s repeal. She cannot be trusted.(3)

  • Judy worked as a high school librarian for twenty years and saw firsthand the positive impact that reading can have on teenagers. 

  • Without Judy Schwiebert our public schools would’ve been defunded. She has been a pivotal advocate in lifting the 1980s spending cap on school districts to ensure they simply have enough funding to function. 

  • Restoring public education funding to pre-2008 recession levels is Judy Schwiebert's top priority.
