It is time once again for the “silly wild ass guess” (SWAG) list of candidates running for office in November. Below is a list of local candidates who are currently running for either the State Legislature or a seat on the Corporation Commission.
Voters need to pay attention to these races just as much as the Presidential and Congressional ones. The public servants who are in the State Legislature and the Corporation Commission affect the everyday lives of every Arizona resident either by determining how much money school gets, setting rates for utility companies, and developing the criteria to qualify for programs like Medicaid.
They also serve as developing public servants that will run for higher office.
This information will change over time as candidates file or withdraw from a race. The filing deadline for declared party candidacies is May 27, 2020. Write-in Primary Candidates have until July 2020 to file.
The Arizona Legislative and Corporate Commission Primaries will be held on August 4, 2020.
The General Election will be held on November 3, 2020.
The name of the candidates has been taken from the Arizona Secretary of State Office.
The Corporation Commission Candidates are listed after the legislative candidates.
The name of the candidates is shown by the last name first, then the position they are running for, then the district, and the political party.
If you are aware of any corrections to be made, please let us know in the comments.
