Cara Nicole Trujillo was a 2016 Green Party candidate for District 26 of the Arizona House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Trujillo's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Parenting rights

  • Excerpt: "Family Rights needs to not be a business where lawyers, psychologists, parenting coordinators, court appointed advisers, etc make their living off of children."

Immigration

  • Excerpt: "We, on the state level, are yelling at each other about immigration, which really is not a state issue, we have to follow Federal procedures."

Legalization of marijuana

  • Excerpt: "Legalization of marijuana solves many problems. It creates good paying jobs that take people away from the welfare system and on the path to security and stability. It removes our citizens from jails and prisons saving the government (i.e. us) quite a bit of money."

Health care

  • Excerpt: "I would like to see everyone have access to good health care, not just have health insurance."[2]
