I was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona and moved to Flagstaff six years ago to attend Northern Arizona University. I am the current Northern Regional Director for the Arizona Students' Association, where I spend my days registering and encouraging college students to vote, advocating at the state legislature for student issues, and training the next generation of student leaders. I was also the campaign manager for Kyle Nitschke, who ran for State Senate in 2022. I am the child of a public school teacher and a hospice nurse who was born and raised on Arizona's politics. I am a queer and non-binary person who has fought to protect their community and their people. Most importantly, I am someone who has vowed to create change in the state that they love.
- I am running because I want young people like me to see that we deserve to take up space, that the issues we care about matter, and that we can and will be in the places where decisions are made in this state.
- I am not only a pro-choice but also a pro-abortion candidate. Anyone who needs to access basic medical and reproductive care should be able to do so safely and legally.
- I am running as a proud openly queer candidate. Our legislature must represent the people, and I promise to fight for all queer people like me in my policy decisions.
Abortion access and reproductive justice; funding our public K-12 and higher education; passing gun sense legislation; protecting trans youth; environmental protections
I believe elected officials must lead with compassion and empathy. Being able to understand people different from you and truly listen to all constituent concerns is an important part of making policy and representng the people.
I want to inspire young people to get involved in politics. I want to continue the fight for progressive issues and carve out a place for us in this state.
The one that sticks out the most is the 2008 election between John McCain and President Obama. I was 9 at the time, and I remember my parents waking me and my siblings up to watch the election results come in. We got to see history being made that night.
I was a before and after school childcare worker for the school district in my home town. I worked there for two years and loved it!
My favorite book is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I have always loved Greek mythology, and getting to read a story about the Trojan War through the lens of the romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus was fascinating.
Lorena Austin
I am running as a Clean Elections candidate because I beleive in financial transparency. All elected government officials must remain accountable and transparent in order to adequately represent and respond to their constituents.
