I am a fifth-generation Arizonan, born and raised in Phoenix. I received a Master’s degree in Migration Studies from the University of San Francisco, and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago. I am running for State Representative because I want every family in our community to truly thrive; where our children can pursue their educational goals, have great careers, and lead extraordinary lives. We are still overcoming the pandemic and the cost of living has skyrocketed. Our schools, which should be places where students, teachers, and parents are supported, have faced continuous uncertainty. Strong PreK-12 public schools, affordable housing, and access to healthcare are necessities. With a background in economic and immigration policy, I am committed to supporting small businesses, as well as ensuring dignity in all work. Each of my experiences as an educator, Congressional staffer, and in the nonprofit sector provide me with the skills to address our district’s most pressing needs while working for a more just, and livable future for Arizona, and generations to come. I invite you to visit my website FlavioBravo.com. It would be an honor to earn your vote and to serve you at the State Legislature.
  • As a first-generation college graduate, I recognize the importance of fully-funded public education and I will support our children, teachers, and each of our neighborhood schools.
  • It's time we treated housing as a critical part of ensuring safe communities. I will advocate for programs to make housing more affordable for everyone.
  • No one should be denied access to healthcare based on their personal circumstances. I will work to expand access to public health resources across our community.
I am personally passionate about expanding access to education, affordable housing, and supporting small-businesses including local restaurants.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arizona

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
