Funding
School board candidates in Arizona were not required to file a campaign finance report if they did not raise or spend more than $500. If they planned to stay under this threshold, they were permitted to file an exemption statement. This rendered them exempt from all other campaign finance reporting, provided they did not exceed the $500 threshold. Otherwise, candidates were not required to file any report until they raised or spent more than the threshold limit. At that point, they had to file a Statement of Organization within five business days from when the threshold was reached. The pre-general campaign finance report was due November 4, 2016. All campaign finance filing was handled by the Arizona Secretary of State.[4]
Endorsements
Foster was endorsed by the Tucson Education Association.[5]

| Collapse all

- Justice of the peace is an extension of my work as a school board member, where I will continue to make sure the families in our communities are afforded services and supports, not just penalties and punishment.
