Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

  • 2020 Primary Election
    Primary Election 2020: Candidate Surveys Each election, the Arizona Farm Bureau surveys candidates who are running in races that are particularly important to Farm & Ranch Country. This year, we have selected a handful of districts to highlight prior to the Arizona Primary Election on August 4, 2020. Each candidate listed below was asked to provide a 200-word answer to the following questions: 1. Arizona’s agriculture and natural resource industries are important economic engines for Arizona and our rural communities. In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge facing these industries today? 2. As an elected official, what role will you play in helping our members overcome this challenge? Unless otherwise noted, each race listed below has a contested party primary. Arizona Farm Bureau staff contacted each candidate running in the party primary using the contact information provided by his or her candidate committee to the Arizona Secretary of State.

  • Influencing Your Decision Makers 2021
    2021 Influencing Your Decision Makers Who is making decisions that affect you? What issues are being decided? Why is your role in the process important? Where can you make a difference? How can you engage others to influence the decision? INFLUENCE It’s up to us to be agents of change for our colleagues, our schools and our students. Educators will get out of politics just as soon as politicians get out of education. Elected ocials determine our salaries, set student testing requirements, and appropriate funds for districts to purchase classroom resources and hire support sta. ey underfund our schools, overcrowd our classrooms, and then tie teacher evaluations to standardized test scores. Politicians make too many decisions for us to sit idly by. AEA members actively meet their legislators, state oce holders, and governing board members to share our stories of working in public schools. Members also make voluntary donations to e AEA Fund for Public Education, our political action committee (PAC), to support candidates and elected ocials who support our values and who stand up for children and public schools. In 2020, AEA members passed the Invest In Education Act, helped elect US Senator Mark Kelly, sent AEA member and former Teacher of the Year Christine Marsh to the Arizona Senate, and gave Betsy DeVos her walking papers. By donating to the AEA Fund, your contribution is added to those of your colleagues to inuence decisions that aect all of us and our professions. Arizona educators were change agents in the 2020 elections, and we must be ready to build on that success in the years ahead.

    2020 Election Preview A Pandemic of Electoral Chaos Arizona Association of Health Underwriters Prepared by Dr. Marcus Osborn and Dan Romm Kutak Rock, LLP Arizona 2020 Key Election Dates Early Register to Request Last Day to Election Day Voting Vote an Early Mail Ballot Begins Deadline Ballot Deadline 2 Arizona 2020 Ballot Propositions “Pot and Schools Go together like Peas and Carrots” 3 Proposition 207 – Smart and Safe Arizona Act Proposition 207 would legalize recreational marijuana use in Arizona for people ages 21 and over. Under the proposal, purchases would be charged the regular sales tax plus an additional 16 percent, which would fund the government’s cost of administering the program. Any money left over will be allocated to community colleges, infrastructure, roads and highways, public safety and public health. This measure allows people who have been arrested or convicted of some marijuana offenses, such as possessing, consuming or transporting 2.5 ounces or less, to petition to have their records expunged. Additionally, this proposal clarifies that people can be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. 4 Proposition 208 – Invest in Education Act Backed by the state’s teacher’s union, Proposition 208 calls for a 3.5 percent tax surcharge on income above $250,000 for an individual or above $500,000 for couples. This initiative hopes to raise about $940 million a year for schools. Under this ballot proposal, half of the new tax generated would be devoted to raises for credentialed teachers, 25 percent would go to increasing the wages for cafeteria workers, bus drivers and other support staff, and the remaining amount would be allocated for teacher training, vocational education and other initiatives.
