Arizona LEgislative District 17
Candidates Representing our shared values
Kevin Volk
From the classroom to the grocery store, Kevin Volk is committed to supporting working families. As a former teacher and a small business owner, Kevin Volk knows the issues facing our classrooms and our local economies. That’s why he is running to implement common-sense solutions to bring down food and housing costs and invest in our public schools and the future of our communities. He will vote to increase funding for our public schools so they can repair and improve school buildings and increase pay for teachers and school support staff.

John McLean
John Mclean believes that a true public servant puts the communities’ interests above their own. As a life-long education champion, Mclean knows that our schools are the foundation of our communities. But decades of defunding has made it difficult for educators to remain in our classrooms. When elected, John Mclean will fight to increase funding for education so we can reduce class sizes, attract and pay teachers more, and invest in career technical education so students are prepared for good paying jobs.
