Stacey Seaman of Casa Grande announced she is running as a Democrat for the state Senate seat in Legislative District 16, a key battleground district in Arizona.
Here’s our TheDGT.org/BlogForArizona interview with Stacey!
“With only one week until the deadline to file Stacey’s signatures, we are in a time crunch. It’s incredibly important that we get Stacey on the ballot.”
He added, “Without Stacey on the ballot, the path to a Democratic legislature in Arizona for the first time in nearly 60 years becomes much harder.”

LD16 is a highly competitive district that leans Republican. Stacey’s father, Democrat Rep. Keith Seaman of LD16, is running for re-election. His daughter, Stacey, has made the exciting decision to run for State Senate.
Stacey aims to oust one-term Republican TJ Shope, known for his cowboy cosplay and hat. He supported tax cuts for the wealthy, voter suppression bills, making immigration a crime, and the disastrous Republican school vouchers.
He is also not too bright. His campaign website says he’ll protect “your 2nd Amendment right to your freedom of speech.” Americans know that Freedom of speech is in the 1st Amendment.

I finally agree with you that 51 is young. Too bad nobody agrees with us.
By the way, what happened to her shoulders?
