WELCOME TO ARIZONA LIST

For nearly eight years, Arizona List has proven that when we find good women candidates, prepare them for a serious campaign, fund them through our PAC and provide astute political support – they win.  We have helped elect 55 women to city councils, state board of supervisors, school boards, state legislators and mayors all across the state. These women are impressive fighters for progressive values in our challenging state environment.

Research shows that women often do not run for office unless they are asked. Arizona List asks. Our team of political advisors is effective and strategic. We choose our battles wisely. We are geared up every year to elect good candidates across Arizona at all levels of office because we need strong advocates for women’s health, for families and children, for quality education, for a protected environment and a strong economy.

Arizona needs our voices now more than ever.

Join our growing membership and help us change the face of power in Arizona.

Meet our new Executive Director

On her first night as a canvasser for the New York Public Interest Research Group more than 20 years ago, Kelly Fryer got more signatures and raised more money than anyone in that office had seen before. They made her field manager on the spot.  It is this kind of tenaciousness and her ability to inspire action in others that makes Arizona List so thrilled to have Kelly as its new Executive Director.

Kelly has grown churches, nonprofit organizations and a small business; taught nonprofit management and leadership on the faculty of two graduate schools; is a sought after public speaker and author of nearly a dozen books. She was ordained a Lutheran minister in 1989 and has earned two Masters degrees.

Inspired by the historic 2008 presidential race, which broke both gender and racial barriers, Kelly became determined to leverage her professional experience on behalf of progressive candidates and causes. She trained with Emily’s List, Democracy for America and the Victory Fund, and served as Deputy Campaign Manager for a political newcomer whose campaign against a notoriously anti-choice congressman from Illinois ended with a questionable redistricting move, but not before Kelly’s team earned national headlines and outraised most other Democratic congressional candidates. Recently Kelly has been working as National Communications Director for the largest interfaith organization in the country supporting labor campaigns and worker justice issues.

“I’m not here because this is such a cool job or I’m tired of cold winters. I’m here because I believe in what Arizona List is doing – and what we have the potential to do together.”
- Kelly Fryer

Thank you for making our 8th Annual Celebration such a success

Nearly 500 supporters joined us for events in Phoenix and Tucson on Saturday, March 10th. Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) delivered a dynamic keynote presentation at both events and some of the most amazing, progressive women at work in Arizona today were honored. It was a day to connect with old friends and make new ones, and to be inspired for the work ahead. Thanks to all who attended, supported, volunteered and worked so hard to make it happen.
