Biographical Info:

Born and raised in Casa Grande, Chris Lopez has dedicated his life to upholding Conservative values. As a father, Chris knows the importance of safe neighborhoods, a secure border, and the ability to provide Arizona families with school choice. As a small business owner, he knows the importance of a thriving economy, which means limited government, low taxes, and affordable cost of living.

Chris is committed to fighting for these Conservative values at the State Capitol. Whether it is funding police, defending the 2nd Amendment, protecting our neighborhoods, or fighting for small business owners throughout our great state, Chris is the candidate with the experience and knowledge we need at the Capitol.

Chris lives in Casa Grande with his wife Jody, where they raised their five kids and love spending time with their seven grandchildren.

Statement:

I believe we need small business principals at the Capitol. I am ready to fight for school choice and funding, public safety and border security, and a robust economy that keeps taxes low while reducing the impact of inflation. With a Democrat in the Governor’s office, keeping the Republican majority in the House is all the more important.
