Where Do the Candidates Stand?
Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) voucher expansion would divert even more taxpayer dollars from public schools to subsidize private school tuition and other personal expenses with almost no transparency or accountability. Save our Schools Arizona is Voting NO (opposing) Proposition 305. Find out more at SOSArizona.org.
We urge you to e mail, call, and find your candidates on social media; ask them to explain their stance or lack of a response. In particular, find out if they’ll protect public schools and oppose ESA voucher expansion in the future.
N = Voting No (Green is good) Y = Voting Yes (Yes is yikes) NR = No Response
