The Program

SaddleBrooke will be voting in both the primary and the general election in a new Legislative District. We are now in Legislative District 17. SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch, Oro Valley, parts of Marana, and the foothills of Tucson stretching to the Tanque Verde Valley are now in the same Legislative District. Each Legislative District in Arizona has 2 House of Representative Members and 1 Senate Member. (Arizona has a total of 30 Districts.)
This year Vince Leach is running to retain his Senate seat with 2 challengers, Robert Barr and Justine Wadsack.
There are 5 candidates running for two House seats including Kirk Fiehler (who lives in Eagle Crest), Anna Orth, and Sherrylyn Young. Also running as a team are Cory McGarr and Rachael Jones. All of the above-mentioned candidates have been invited to speak.
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 17 SENATE CANDIDATES
Vince Leach
It is an honor to represent you at the State Legislature. When I got to the State Capitol I told leadership that I was there to work and to load me up. They took me seriously! I'm the Vice-Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Member of the Finance Committee, the Government Committee and the Judiciary Committee, I also serve on the Joint Committee on Capitol Review, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
I've won awards from pro-family and pro-taxpayer groups, I've helped to increase education funding and have supported reforms that are having positive effects on our K-12 students' performance, and I continue to advocate for real border security and an end to illegal immigration. I will continue to represent you with Belief in Constitutionally Limited Government, Limited Taxation, Free Markets, Personal Responsibility, and Rule of Law.
I humbly ask for your support and vote!
Robert Barr
We need to restore our God given, constitutionally protected, liberties.
Individual Americans should be free to choose their own lives, not have their options dictated by Government bureaucrats. Particularly with regard to Health and Education.
We cannot allow bureaucrats to make our health decisions. Each person should be able to choose their Medical Treatments and have all reasonable options available to them.
We cannot allow bureaucrats to decide our children’s education. Parents should get to choose their child’s school and make the final decisions on what they learn.
The people need to stop thinking that the bureaucrats have their best interest at heart; they do not. I will always vote to ensure that these and other freedoms intended by the Constitution will not be taken from the people of Arizona’s LD-17.
Justine Wadsack
Justine is a strong "America First" Conservative Republican with 40 years in Tucson, AZ. A Daughter of the American Revolution, Wife of 22-year Ret. Air Force Major, Mother to four Military, Mother to two Disabled Teenagers & proud Grandmother. Justine was the Republican LD10 Nominee in the 2020 General Election as THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Justine's career began in Advertising/Marketing/PR in Chicago before coming home to produce halftime for NBA/NFL & concerts for Arizona Tribal-Nations. She's a Small Business Owner/Investor/Realtor known as "the Agent who gives back", having donated $40,000 to Military & 1st-Responders.
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 17 House of Representives Candidates
Kirk Fiehler
I am a Constitutional Conservative. I believe the U.S. Constitution is the greatest document ever written on self-governance, including the 2nd Amendment which protects all other Amendments. I believe in limited government and when elected I will do everything I can as a State Representative to secure our Southern Border, ensure Election Integrity, promote a strong Arizona Economy, keep taxes as low as possible, and defend our Constitutional Freedoms.
I am a Precinct Committeeman, a State Committeeman, and District Chairman of our District. This experience has been invaluable in helping me prepare to become a State Representative.
I graduated from Coronado HS in Scottsdale, and went to Northern Arizona University on a Track Scholarship where I graduated with a Business Degree. I have succeeded in the corporate world as a Manager, District/Region Manager, and Marketing Company President. My business experience has not only required people skills and managing large teams, but also meeting budgets and P&L (Profit and Loss) responsibility. This experience and these skills will be valuable as a State Representative.
My wife Jan & I live in Eagle Crest. We are devout Christians, and have 5 adult Children and 3 Grandchildren. Thank you for letting me introduce myself. I am asking for your vote in the primary August 2
Anna Orth
I am an America First Conservative. As an Arizona native, I have sincere respect our beautiful southwest culture and desert environment and as a long time small business owner, I appreciate Arizona's great need for a strong economy that supports growth and employment opportunities for Arizonans.
As a life long Republican, I stand firm in the rights and freedoms outlined in our Constitution and I strongly support legislation that limits government overreach but rather allows for individuals and families alike to thrive, learn and benefit from their effort and protects our American way of life. My focus is on election integrity because without fair and honest elections, all else is threatened.
Sherrylyn Young
I am a retired physician who has lived in the new Legislative District 17 for 38 years. I am also a wife and mother. I am running for Arizona State Representative to represent YOU, and to promote the policies most Arizonans want: (1) honest and reliable governance and elections, (2) good public education that teaches rational thinking and job skills, not racial divisiveness, (3) second amendment rights that allow us to defend ourselves and our families, and (4) individual freedom to make health care decisions for ourselves and our children.
Right now, most of us believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, with our borders completely unsecured, inflation out of control, energy sources dependent on foreign and hostile countries, and government deficit spiraling ever upward. We need to push back on these destructive policies as strongly as possible in the state legislature. We must also preserve the authority that the state has traditionally held to manage its own affairs. The candidates we elect to our state legislatures could be the most important people in government over the next few years. Please take the time to vote.
Cory McGarr
Cory McGarr was born in 1988 in southern New Jersey and is one of six children. He lived a pretty typical life there and even attended the same schools his family had years prior. It was in high school where he began reading his Bible and found his purpose in life and became a Christian.
He met his wife Rebecca, an Arizona native, while attending a Sunday morning church service in June of 2004. He later married her, his high school sweetheart, and they have four children. Like his father, he found work with the local pest control company as a technician. He was rapidly promoted four times over the next 12 years with the last promotion landing him working in Tucson, Arizona.
Rachael Jones
I am a Border Patrol wife, mother of 5 beautiful children, former teacher, and former business executive. My faith in God is of the utmost importance to me, and has molded me into the person that I am today.
I am pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-school choice, and pro-Constitution! I believe that every American is valuable, and that we all have unalienable rights given to us by our Creator. I want to be a voice FOR THE PEOPLE!
