Why is Aaron Lieberman running for State Senate?
Aaron Lieberman is running for State Senate because Arizonans deserve leaders who work together to lower costs and get things done–not bicker for the sake of it. As a business leader and former State Representative, Aaron knows that balancing budgets, growing the economy, and protecting our schools requires teamwork and bipartisanship, not silly fights.
What is Aaron Lieberman’s background?
Born and raised in Phoenix, Aaron co-founded Jumpstart, a nonprofit to improve early literacy and school readiness, and later started Acelero Learning, which delivers high-quality early education and support to underserved communities.
Today, Aaron is the founder & CEO of Buzze Inc, an Arizona-based company focused on accelerating EV adoption in multifamily housing. With proven experience in both business and government, Aaron is ready to lead Arizona toward a stronger, more prosperous future.
Where does Aaron Lieberman stand on affordability and accountability?
As a State Representative, Aaron was one of the most bipartisan leaders in the Capitol, championing bipartisan solutions to improve schools, healthcare, and economic opportunity. Now, he’s running with a real plan to lower the cost of housing, root out the taxpayer fraud in the ESA program, and make sure data centers pay for their own electricity and water.
How will Aaron Lieberman protect Phoenix’s water?
Aaron Lieberman knows that Phoenix isn’t keeping up with the demand for water. In the State Senate, he’ll work to make sure Phoenix residents have priority for water distribution over out-of-state companies, improve water infrastructure to increase access and lower the cost of water, and work with the federal government and other states to improve water supply, such as from the Colorado River.
Where does Aaron Lieberman stand on education?
Aaron Lieberman has been fighting for better schools, higher standards, and smarter students since he started an education nonprofit out of his college dorm. He will push to hold the taxpayer-funded voucher scheme accountable for draining money from public schools and sending them to unaccountable private and for-profit schools. Aaron will fight to strengthen oversight to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse of the voucher program so education dollars are spent educating students.
How will Aaron Lieberman hold lobbyists and special interests accountable?
Lobbyists and special interests have too much influence in Phoenix and too many politicians put their donors over regular people. That's why Aaron Lieberman will fight to reduce their influence by limiting the amount of money big corporations can give to politicians, banning the meals and gifts lobbyists buy politicians, and stopping former lawmakers from becoming lobbyists for several years after leaving office.
Aaron’s Top Message: Aaron Liberman is an entrepreneur and innovator who is focused on solving problems for Arizona families. After graduating college, he started an organization to improve early education for Arizona students and later founded and became CEO of an Arizona-based company to deliver cost-effective energy options to homes. Now he's running to bring his problem-solving experience to the state senate. He’ll work with both Democrats and Republicans to fight for better schools and better teacher pay, to protect our water resources, and lower the cost of living.
Top Hits On Werner: Carine Werner is more focused on extremist ideology than tackling the cost of living or making life better for Arizonans. Carine Werner is a partisan extremist who mocked a school district employee at a public meeting, calling her “morbidly obese,” fought to ban books, and helped cut $900 million from Arizona’s public schools. Carine Wener’s extremist and partisan agenda does not represent Arizona values and has no place in the state legislature.

Where do Tammy Caputi and Karen Gresham stand on healthcare?
Arizona has some of the best doctors and hospitals in the country, but more and more Arizonans can't afford to make an appointment.

They will also work to keep hospitals open so people in rural areas and small towns don't need to travel hours for care.
How will Tammy Caputi and Karen Gresham protect Arizona’s water?

In the State House, they'll work to make sure Arizona residents have priority for water distribution over out-of-state companies, improve water infrastructure to increase access and lower the cost of water, and work with the federal government and other states to invest in technologies that improve water supply, such as from the Colorado River, and improve water conservation. They also have a plan to invest in water infrastructure, support science-based water management, promote innovation in how we conserve and use water, and strengthen oversight and transparency in water policy.
How will Tammy Caputi and Karen Gresham hold the ESA voucher program accountable?
The state's ESA program is a taxpayer-funded voucher parents can use to educate their child at any private school or pay for homeschooling. The system is being abused, and Tammy Caputi and Karen Gresham will fight to fix this in the State Legislature.

As a mom and Madison Elementary School District board member, she brought accountability to our schools. Now, she’s running to ensure our taxpayer dollars are going to what’s important: schools fully funded, our water resources protected, and that Arizonan’s interests are reflected in our budget, not paid lobbyists’ interests.
Top Hits on Carter and Gress: Matt Gress is an out-of-state lobbyist who is part of the problem, taking tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash from corporate and wealthy interests and then writing a law to give them $1.5 billion in special tax breaks, while making drastic cuts to education and healthcare. He’s working for lobbyists and partisan interests, not Arizonans.
Matt Gress and Pamela Carter are more focused on partisan interests than Arizona’s interests. Instead of focusing on building up our schools, they voted to make it a felony for teachers to teach classic literature and force schools to implement their extreme ideology.
