OUR VISION

NOW.
Our vision focuses on six priority areas that are crucial to building better, more vibrant communities.
That vision includes increasing investment in public education, continuing to create good jobs, and bringing in more resources that help our communities thrive.
Help make this vision a reality. Continue supporting Lorenzo’s work on our behalf, serving Legislative District 22 as our Representative.
QUALITY PUBLIC
EDUCATION.
From preschool to high school, all students deserve a high quality public education, preparing them for success in school and life. Lorenzo believes in our youngest residents and their future potential.

Working with district superintendents, libraries, and community groups, Lorenzo obtained funding for 40,000 free books, putting them into the hands of LD22's youngest residents. This focus on early literacy helped teachers improve reading skills in classrooms throughout our community.
Lorenzo is a champion for education in Arizona and stands with the Red for Ed movement.
