Brendan Trachsel is running to be the first third-party candidate elected to the Arizona State Legislature, representing District 6.
He is an alum of Northern Arizona University, where he worked to increase university financial transparency, expand free menstrual products, and improve public transportation services. A proud member of CWA Local 7065, he has continued advocating for workers’ rights, increased privacy from government surveillance, and a stronger democracy. He believes it is essential that our solutions work for all Arizonans, not just those at the top.
Brendan is running for office as a member of the Green Party because he rejects corporate influence and shares its core values of Peace, Ecology, Social Justice, and Democracy. He believes that running outside the two major parties is the only way to stay free from partisan control.
It is essential we end the universal school voucher program and invest in our public schools and universities. Our children and youth deserve better than near last-in-the-nation school systems.
Ranked Choice Voting is the first of many steps we must take to ensure that our voting systems allow us to choose who represents us best. Empowering independent and third-party candidates will strengthen our democracy for all.
