Both of the candidates running in the November 8, 2022, general election for Arizona House of Representatives District 24 — Lydia Hernandez (D) and Analise Ortiz (D) — completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey. These survey responses allow voters to hear directly from candidates about what motivates them to run for office.
Eighty-eight of the country’s 99 state legislative chambers will hold regularly scheduled elections in 2022. The Republican Party controls both chambers of Arizona’s state legislature. Arizona is one of 23 states with a Republican trifecta.
Here are excerpts from candidates’ responses to the question: What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Hernandez:
“Economic Sustainable Growth and its Impact on all Arizonans.”
Ortiz:
“Our biggest challenge is combatting climate change. I support putting contingency plans in place in Arizona to protect our water resources, capture solar energy, and expand clean energy.”
