Meet Eric Stafford
Eric Stafford is a community organizer, small business advocate, and lifelong Arizonan running for State Senate to deliver progress and prosperity to all by rejecting special interests and legislating with integrity.
A born-and-raised Arizonan, Eric's path reflects his commitment to service and results. His blue-collar experience began when he earned his Airframe & Powerplant License and worked as a certified Airplane Mechanic & Machinist. This work gave him firsthand insight into the struggles of working families and the need for greater workplace justice.
Eric's dedication to an ethical, human-first approach was cemented by personal tragedy: watching his own mother suffer permanent brain damage because the inflated cost of medicine due to corporate greed made her life-saving treatment unaffordable. This injustice fuels his fight for affordable healthcare and against corporate price gouging.
From organizing neighbors to save long-time residents from corporate developers, to bringing together ranchers, tribal leaders, and environmental advocates on water conservation, Eric believes results matter more than party loyalty. He has dedicated his energy to a team of progress for all Arizonans, pushing for:
- Education: Fully funding public schools and supporting teachers to reverse crippling system debt.
- Labor: Ensuring essential workers earn a living wage and restoring benefits for a stable middle class.
- Climate: Proactively preserving groundwater, maintaining aquifers, and improving air quality.
Eric Stafford is prepared to be a fearless leader who rejects dark money, prioritizes his constituents, and brings a pragmatic approach to creating a government that truly works for all Americans.
