“Join us as we hear from 2024 Laura Conover and Gabriella Cazares-Kelly

Gabriella Cazares-Kelly

Gabriella was elected to be the Pima County Recorder in November 2020. She is a co-founder of Indivisible Tohono, a grassroots community organization that is focused on providing opportunities for education and civic engagement for members of the Tohono Oʼodham Nation. Gabriella is extremely active in local politics, serving as the President of the Progressive Democrats of Southern Arizona and the Vice-President of the Arizona Democratic Party’s Native American Caucus, among many other roles. In 2019, she was the recipient of the Dolores Huerta – Mujer En La Lucha Award and was named the Arizona AFL-CIO’s Community Activist of the Year.

Laura Conover

Laura has dedicated her career to helping the Southern Arizona community by defending the poor, advocating for victims, and fighting for justice in local and federal courts. She decided to run for the position of Pima County Attorney to bring much-needed reform to Southern Arizona’s criminal justice system by re-framing the current priorities away from jailing the poor, addicted, and mentally ill, to focusing instead on violent and financial crimes. She is committed to helping non-violent drug offenders get treatment instead of prison. That formula will ensure the safety of County residents and reduce costs for Pima County taxpayers while improving outcomes for those caught up in the criminal justice system.”

Carolyn’s note: Laura Conover may be facing off in the Dem primary on July 30, 2024 with Democrat attorney/former US Attorney Mike Jette. Prior to being elected Pima County Attorney in Nov. 2020 Conover was a criminal defense attorney.

So far no one is opposing Gabriella for Recorder.
