Greg Stanton

Phoenix City Councilman

I’ve known Rae Waters for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand the dedication she’s shown toward our community and the families in it. I know she will continue to be a champion for those families in the State Legislature, and strongly encourage voters to elect her as State Representative.

Governor Janet Napolitano

Rae Waters is the right choice for District 20. As a three-term school board member and a leader in the community for many years, Rae has a long record of service- managing balanced budgets while putting Arizona’s students first. She’ll be an independent voice at the legislature and a strong advocate for students and families across the state.

The Arizona Republic

We recommend voters elect Rae Waters, a long-time member of the Kyrene school board and Ahwatukee civic leader... She would be a knowledgable and effective advocate for neighborhood schools at a time when they sorely need more champions in the Legislature.

Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard

Rae Waters is just the type of common-sense leader our legislature needs to address the critical needs of our growing state. She is an innovator in education and someone who has a proven record of standing up for our children.

Bob Rice

Member, Chandler Unified School District Governing Board

I strongly support Rae Waters for District 20 Representative. I have worked closely with Rae during the past six years through the Arizona School Boards Association, and have seen her passionate and effective leadership for Arizona's school children. I watched as she took courageous stands for the benefit of children despite significant personal and political cost. I am confident that if elected Rae will fight for the best interests of not only the people of District 20 but of all Arizona.

Joanne Thomas

Kyrene de las Manitas Elementary School teacher

As a Kyrene teacher, I've seen firsthand Rae's commitment to our children's futures. When she volunteers in my classroom, her energy and dedication to my students proves she walks the walk when it comes to Arizona's education.
