Dear LD 16 resident,
My name is Ruben Gallego, and it is my honor to be running to represent you as your Democratic representative in the Arizona State 
House.
At a time when politics in our state is unnecessarily polarizing and dividing our communities in the midst of economic crisis, it is vital that we send representatives to the legislature who will represent our common values and work toward equitable solutions to bring quality jobs and education to our communities.
Re-invest in Arizona
We need to keep Arizona moving toward recovery by investing in smart projects to create jobs in struggling sectors and to diversify state and local economies. Our first priority needs to be investing in renewable energies, and turning Arizona into the “Solar State.”
Arizona is consistently ranked one of the worst states for education overall, particularly in the areas of math and science. I believe that we need to invest more in diverse educational programs in these areas to ensure that we are producing the doctors, researchers, and engineers of tomorrow who will be on the forefront of the emerging Arizona Solar Economy and innovation in other areas.
Learn more about my plans for our state by visiting the “issues” section of my website, or get involved using the links to the left.
Working together to meet our challenges
From growing up poor and working my way through Harvard to my service in Iraq as a Marine and as a public servant working for Phoenix Vice Mayor Michael Nowakowski, I have learned the value of public service and giving back to a community, state, and country that has given me so much. I truly believe that by working together to address our common challenges, we can solve our most pressing problems.
I humbly ask for you to vote for me, Ruben Gallego, by mail or at the polls on November 2nd.
