Mary Rose for Arizona

State House District 14

Mary Rose

Listening First.

Leading with Purpose.

Why I’m Running

I’m running because too many families are working hard and still struggling to get ahead. No one should have to choose between groceries, gas, and paying the bills.

I’ll fight for an Arizona that gives working families a fair shot and ensures opportunity isn’t reserved for those who already have the most, where the government works for the people, and the next generation has a real chance to thrive.

My Priorities for Arizona

Keep Arizona Affordable

Support practical housing solutions so teachers, first responders, young families, and seniors can continue living in the communities they love.

Strengthen Public Education

Support excellent public schools while ensuring every education dollar is spent responsibly, transparently, and in the best interest of students.

Protect Arizona’s Water Future

Plan responsibly today so Arizona families, businesses, and future generations have the water they need to thrive.

Hold Government Accountable

Represent taxpayers, not corporations; bring transparency, fiscal responsibility, and practical leadership to state government.

I will be a champion for working Arizonans.

You deserve a representative who understands the challenges faced by working people, families, and small business owners.

I am committed to ensuring your voices are represented.

Our Priorities: A Closer Look

A stronger Arizona. A brighter tomorrow. Here’s what I’m focused on:

Keep Arizona Affordable

Expand housing choices and reduce needless costs passed onto the buyer from the building process. Provide a real path for first-time buyers, young families, and working Arizonans to homeownership.
Cut red tape, expand access to capital, and invest in local business by bringing together organizations and programs designed to help new and early-stage startups survive and grow.
Keep Arizona competitive, so families can thrive. We can keep Arizona competitive with better Access to Technical Education (CTE) programs, workforce training partnerships, and fair public education funding so families can thrive.

Hold Government Accountable

Represent taxpayers, not corporations, by bringing transparency, fiscal responsibility, and practical leadership to the state government.
Ensure economic development benefits ALL residents, not the select few, by supporting affordable housing, fair wages, and pathways to upward mobility.
Put the Arizona government to work better for the people it serves, as intended.

Strengthen Public Education

Fund public schools fairly – fight to increase per-student funding and ensure resources reach the classrooms that need them most.
Support and retain great teachers – champion competitive pay, professional development, and respect for educators.
Strengthen oversight of ESA spending – support greater oversight and transparency to prevent fraud and restore public funds.

Protect Arizona’s Water Future

Plan responsibly today so Arizona families, businesses, and future generations have the water they need to thrive.
Support investments in water security and smart stewardship.
Keep Arizona’s water supply reliable, sustainable, and affordable.

“I have had the privilege of knowing Mary for the past five years, and during that time, I have come to know her as someone who genuinely cares about people and the community around her.

Mary is thoughtful, generous, and incredibly driven. She has a sincere love for our city and our state, and that comes through in the way she talks about the people who live here and the things that matter to us. She takes the time to listen, understand, and show up.

After knowing Mary for five years, I can say that I have tremendous respect for the person she is. I am grateful to call her my friend, and I am proud to share my experience of knowing someone who cares so deeply about our community and the people in it.”
