Sister District for Lorena Austin (AZ LD-9 House)

Representative Lorena Austin has represented Arizona’s 9th District since 2022 with the support of Sister District, They made history as the first nonbinary Latinx state legislator in the US and have gone on to champion reproductive rights, affordable housing, equitable education, and public safety. Serving on the Commerce and Appropriations committees and as Secretary of the Latino and LGBTQ+ Caucuses, they have delivered results like a $40 million investment in tuition aid and legislation on voter registration, school safety, and housing.


A fifth-generation Arizonan from Mesa and first-generation college graduate, Lorena has worked across public, private, and nonprofit sectors while continuing a family legacy of civil rights and community leadership. They bring deep roots, proven results, and a commitment to equity and opportunity for all Arizonans.


WHY THIS RACE

Lorena’s race is critical to protecting Democratic strength in the Arizona Legislature and holding the line against Republican extremism. As a champion for reproductive rights, affordable housing, and education, Lorena is exactly the kind of leader Republicans are eager to unseat. Defending this seat ensures Democrats can continue to block harmful legislation and keep fighting for equity and opportunity for Arizona families.


WHY ARIZONA

Arizona was once a reliable Republican stronghold, and although Trump reclaimed the state in 2024, Arizona is now considered as a true swing state where Democrats flipped key statewide offices and presidential votes in recent years. Heading into the 2026 midterms, control of the legislature and governorship is up for grabs. Democratic victories in Arizona means safeguarding reproductive freedom, climate action, and voting rights while maintaining momentum for Democrats at the national level.
