Biographical Info:

Rachel Jones has been an active citizen of Arizona for 17 years. Rachel is a mother of five kids, three of whom were the blessing of adoption. Rachel’s faith is her prime motivator in all that she does for her family… and her state. Rachel received her degree in Business Management and spent her career as a business executive at the 3rd largest UPS facility in the country. Her time in business formed a strong, calculated, and passionate leader, who now hopes to continue utilizing her experience to identify problems, execute solutions, and deliver results in the State House in Phoenix. Having children refined Rachel’s beliefs on the importance of the family in communities. Rachel decided to put her business life aside, and focus on her family, and the families of all Arizonans. This led her to become a teacher, fostering the next generation of Americans. But her business background could not be hidden, so she eventually became the Director of the preschool. As a mother of five, former teacher, and former business executive, Rachel knew that she could no longer sit by and let the elitist democrats in Phoenix ruin her great state. That is why she decided to run for the AZ State House of Representatives in 2022 and was elected. She served in her first legislative term in 2023/2024 and delivered on her promise to her constituents to be a representative of the people. She has also been a local leader on pro-life, Medical Freedom, and the border crisis. Rachel is an Authentic Conservative Fighter and she will not stop until we have restored Arizona’s values.

Statement:

I want to continue to fight to represent the people in my district and not the special interest groups. There is a crisis at the border, the economy is tanking, and our family values are under attack. I plan on continuing to push for common sense legislation that helps AZ citizens and their families.

Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Allowing all parents to use tax credits and publicly funded Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) to enable their children to attend any private school, homeschool, or online academy of their choice. S* The tax money should follow the child. Not all children learn the same way. A child’s success is dependent on being in the right educational environment. ESAs ensure this for every AZ child.
2. Requiring district and charter school officials, including teachers, to inform parents about their child’s social, mental, emotional, or physical health. S* The parent is the primary caretaker of a child, not any government institution.
3. Implementing district and charter school policies to allow students and faculty to use the restroom, locker room, and shower room based on self-identification rather than biological sex. O* Males should not be in a female restroom and locker room or vice versa. Kids should feel safe and secure at all times.
4. Requiring signed permission from a parent before a district or charter school student may participate in any sexuality-related instruction, activities, or clubs. S* The parent is the number one decision maker regarding their child.
5. Requiring each district and charter school to post online a list of all curriculum and instructional materials being used in the classroom. S* This will ensure that the parent knows exactly what is being taught in their child’s classroom.
6. Enacting government regulation of the creed, practices, and curriculum of private schools. O* It’s called a private school for a reason. The government should not be regulating a private entity.
7. Requiring government-mandated testing standards for private school and homeschool students. O* The government shouldn’t be regulating a private school.
