Today, George Khalaf issued the following statement announcing his candidacy for the Arizona State House in Legislative District 3.
“As I’ve spoken to Arizonans in my home district and across the state, I’ve found one thing to be clear: We are drawn to optimistic and clear-eyed leaders who can cast a conservative, America-first vision for the future and deliver on it. I’m running to offer that to the North East Valley and to represent the community that I love and am proud to call home. Our North East Valley, whether you live in North Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, Rio Verde or Fountain Hills, has been well represented by Representative Joseph Chaplik and Representative Alex Kolodin. But now we have an open seat in the State House, and I want to ensure that we have strong conservative leadership for the future of our state and for our country.” said Khalaf.
George Khalaf is well known across the state and parts of the country as a political consultant, education freedom advocate and political data expert. But Khalaf says that he has felt called over the last year to do more than fight political and policy battles as an outside voice. He believes it’s time to put his own name on the line and fight for bold, common sense conservative policies at the Capitol.
“We need to build a pro-family economy, support parenthood, stop woke indoctrination of the next generation, empower parents in their children’s upbringing and education, make our K-12 system work for families, secure our borders, stand for our constitutional freedoms, make Arizona healthy again, and demand free and fair elections with full transparency. And that’s just the start. This is how our state, our district, and Arizona families will go into the future stronger and more free. What defines me first and foremost is my faith and my family. I’m a Christian, a proud husband and father, and an unabashed America-first, pro-family conservative.”
George is proud to be endorsed by these Arizona and North East Valley leaders.
