Press Release: ARIZONA CLIMATE CABINET PAC-ENDORSED CANDIDATES ADVANCE TO GENERAL ELECTION

Candidates Focused on Reducing Energy Costs in Arizona Win Respective Primary Elections 


PHOENIX, AZ – August 3, 2022 – As temperatures soar and utility bills skyrocket in the Grand Canyon state, Climate Cabinet PAC-endorsed candidates campaigning on reducing the price of energy through affordable and reliable clean energy, advanced Tuesday evening, winning their respective primary races. Looking ahead to the November general election, the Arizona candidates, members of Climate Cabinet PAC’s Climate Slate, are laser-focused on reducing Arizonans utility bills while encouraging the transition to a more sustainable and reliable electric grid. Climate Cabinet PAC works with grassroots advocates across the country to gather on the ground analysis of local climate policy and the candidates best positioned to drive progress.

Caroline Spears, founder and executive director of the Climate Cabinet PAC, said, “It’s clear that Arizonans are fed up with the status quo of high utility bills and are ready for an affordable and reliable clean energy future. Arizonans deserve better than $5 dollar gasoline and expensive electricity driven by the failure of legislators who have hindered the transition to clean and cost-effective renewables. The Arizona candidates we chose to endorse are all hyper-focused on delivering clean, cost-effective energy for all Arizonans and we’re thrilled to support them as we now move closer to the November election.”
