The Arizona Highway Patrol Association has endorsed numerous candidates running for the Arizona Legislature, U.S. Congress and local offices that have shown to be strong supporters of public safety. Below is a list of all the candidates that have been endorsed by the AHPA. We have only listed the districts in which the AHPA has made an endorsement. AHPA has not made endorsements in all races to ensure that only candidates that truly deserve our endorsement receive it. Remember, if you have not already voted, please make your vote count and vote November 6th. This may be your only chance to make a difference in the outcome of the election in your district.
To find your polling place go to https://voter.azsos.gov/. To find out your Congressional and Legislative districts go to http://2001.azredistricting.org/.
Regardless of political affiliation, candidates were vetted carefully and many have a long relationship with AHPA. Â AHPA does not consider endorsing any candidate without first making sure that candidate will hold true to their words when it comes to our issues. Â AHPA has and will continue to hold any candidate receiving our endorsement accountable. Â Those that have and continue to support us deserve our same consideration.
