Representative Stephanie Simacek is running for reelection in the State House. Since taking office, she has focused on lowering costs for working families, strengthening public education, and standing up for responsible, commonsense leadership.
With a background rooted in public service, Stephanie is a proven problem solver - working across the aisle when it means getting things done and pushing back when policies don’t put Arizona families first. She understands the real challenges her constituents face and is committed to making Arizona more affordable and more accountable.
Stephanie is running to keep fighting for lower costs, stronger schools, and a government that works for everyday Arizonans
Stephanie’s Top Message: Stephanie Simacek is a mom and former first-grade teacher in the Deer Valley Unified School District. Working as a teacher, she saw the importance of education and the dedication needed by teachers, staff, and engaged parents. As State Representative, she’s fighting to ensure schools are fully funded and that we make changes where needed to make public schools better. She’s making sure that Arizonans have a voice in the state legislature–not corporate lobbyists.

Top Hits On Bolick: Shawnna Bolick is a career politician who represents everything that is wrong with our politics. She takes thousands of dollars from Big Pharma, Health Insurance companies, and utility companies- then votes in their interests, while we suffer the high costs. She took tens of thousands of dollars from health insurance and pharmaceutical companies and then voted to make healthcare more expensive. She voted to let insurance companies stop covering pre-existing conditions and let insurance companies charge higher copays and deny coverage. And if you’re seeing high energy bills, that’s because Bolick took tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash from utility companies and voted to shut down cheaper alternative energy sources and has defended AI Data centers, even voting to shift the cost of their infrastructure and energy demands onto Arizonans
