Submitted Biography "I’m a native of Tucson, Arizona, a third generation Arizonan and a man of faith. I have been through many great struggles in life and have witnessed our society decaying. From courts ignoring our Constitution and the rights of individuals, to homelessness and drugs plaguing our streets. I have walked through these things and found my path with God at my side to rise from it and succeed in life. I today own two businesses and now want to help our community get our homeless back on their feet by guiding them down the path I walked to get to where I am. I want to bring attention to corruption in our local government. Anyone who’s been in Tucson as long as I understands the meaning of the good ole boy club and the threat that it means to our society. I was put in prison without a conviction and sentenced to 10 years. It was undeniable that there was no conviction yet it took almost 30 years before the State conceded and a judge ruled on this fact. This is just one example of the dangers of the good ole boy club. To this day, I’m still fighting for justice and I will fight till the day I die cause men gave their lives so that this would never happen. Our community needs a voice and I will be that voice. "


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Native: I was born here in Tucson in 1966. My father Angel Calderon Butierez was the first Butierez and born in Pima, Arizona in 1944. My grandfather Filomeno Gutierrez a holy man was born in Solomon, Az in 1900. Arizona is mine and my family’s home. My family consist of the Butierez, Gutierrez, Benavides and Calderons Families all across Southern Arizona.


Securing our Border: This is vital to my plans of helping our homeless get on their feet and drug users off of drugs. The program I want to get funding for to get homeless back on their feet can’t save the world. I just want to start with one building to show it’s success the expand it across America. The only risk here is, I’m not so sure people in power want the homeless off the streets. The fact they have opened our borders to the world without addressing the issues plaguing our country is very telling. As you find out more about me, you’ll find I can’t be bullied and I never back down.


Economy and Crime: Our government has a bad habit of throwing money at a problem rather than a solution. This is a major contributing factor to unnecessary taxes causing a rise in inflation and increased interest rates. I’m a man who seeks out solutions and puts them into action.

Economy and Crime: Our government has a bad habit of throwing money at a problem rather than a solution. This is a major contributing factor to unnecessary taxes causing a rise in inflation and increased interest rates. I’m a man who seeks out solutions and puts them into action.
Securing our border, is a focal point as it’s needed to implement the other policies.

Economy: I want to end tax funded methadone clinics. I’m not sure if our society comprehends the expense these create for taxpayers. We not only pay for the buildings, staff and drugs handed out but cabs are used as medical transports to get people to them which is covered by the taxpayers. There’s 150 state funded treatment facilities with a success rate of only 48%. The drug pandemic is taxpayer funded billion dollar industry I want to end by implementing a more successful less expensive program.

Crime: Crime has skyrocketed by our government supplying our homeless with drugs not to mention the $800 a month that was given to homeless drug addicts which increased their tolerance levels and then cut the funds. These addicts still need their drugs and crime is the only way they can feed their addictions.
Honesty and fairness. My wife thinks I go too far with my fairness. I actually count the kitty treats to make sure the each get the same. In a world where there is no fairness I try to be fair. Example, I found myself sitting in a maximum security prison over a joint and no priors serving 10 years with a cell mate doing 4 who had beat a guy to death with a 2X4.
I’d like to leave a successful program that will eventually be self run with its own profits supporting it. Idol hands are the devil’s playground. Participation in job programs require room and board expenses to be paid for by the participants not the taxpayers. See, building up one’s self esteem is the biggest part of this program being successful. A hand out doesn’t doesn’t build one’s self worth where an opportunity to succeed does.
Capin’s Carwash. I was 15 and I was there for a few weeks till they discovered I wasn’t 16 and let me go.
Getting thrown into prison without a conviction and being denied all my constitutional tights. This caused me to turn from God and fall into a dark spot. I lost my woman my children knowing I was innocent and that I was less than any other American being denied my Constitutional Rights of Due Process, Right to trial, my right to a competent attorney and my guaranteed protection against double jeopardy.

Once I’d served half my sentence I was released only to see my old world was gone. I began so hang out with the only people I knew anymore, the men I had met in prison. They introduced me to drugs which lead me to homelessness. I spent years in that spot till I was arrested again and taken back to prison. It was then that God reveled himself to me. It was in my memories of my grandfather. He was the holy man of our family. It was because of his wive born Ramona Calderon that my dad was named Angel Calderon Butierez.

Grandma said it was a Holy Name given to us by God. I fell to me knees and cried on prison floor cause I knew it was true. I wiped my eyes and got up and today O shrug off struggles for Christ fights my battles and always will.

Nope. I believe previous experience is the problem. We have created a good ole boy club and they aren’t looking out for our best interest but rather each others.
Fixing the damage of these open borders caused by Grijalva and the present administration.
I believe we need to have term limits on Congress and the Senate. Individuals like Raul Grijalva get lacked and secure. They have been there so long they become a known name. People no longer vote based on what he’s accomplished but rather cause they know the name.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Noteworthy ballot measures

See also: Arizona 2024 ballot measures

Arizona had 12 ballot measures on the November 5, 2024, ballot. Two notable ones were Proposition 139, which would have provided for a state constitutional right to an abortion, and Proposition 314, which would have allowed law enforcement to arrest any noncitizens who cross the border unlawfully.

Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would affect voter turnout statewide.

  • Consultant Marcus Dell'Artino said the abortion amendment could increase turnout among young voters: “A measure like this in a presidential year number one, and two an issue as personal as abortion, certainly moves those younger voters 18 and older to get out and vote.”[8]
  • Democratic strategist Tony Cani said between the two amendments, abortion would be a bigger driver of turnout: "The types of voters who are motivated by the abortion initiative tend to be younger, tend to be women, tend to be voters that in the past have needed more of a reason to show up to the polls. And so I think that on balance, if you’re looking at the two, that the abortion initiative is probably going to drive turnout more."[9]
  • Republican consultant Barrett Marson said that the economy would be a more salient issue for voters: “The economy is going to play a much greater role in how people vote — try to get a mortgage around here, try to get a car loan at a reasonable rate. People are unhappy with those metrics right now.”[10]
  • NPR's Ben Giles said the immigration measure "might drive Republican turnout, but it also might drive turnout among groups who are against this immigration law and then might also vote for Democratic candidates when they head to the polls in November."[12]
  • Republican political analyst Sean Noble said: “I think that the people who care about immigration are gonna be motivated to come out for, to vote for Donald Trump just as much as they would for immigration... So I don’t think that the immigration issue on the ballot is gonna actually impact turnout.”[13]

  • requiring the use of the E-Verify program in order to determine the immigration status of individuals before the enrollment in a financial aid or public welfare program;
  • making it a Class 6 felony for individuals who submit false information or documents to an employer to evade detection of employment eligibility, or to apply for public benefits, and;
  • making the sale of fentanyl a Class 2 felony if the person knowingly sells fentanyl and it results in the death of another person.
