Arizona's Wild Race for LD7

Four Republicans are battling for two seats in Arizona’s rural Legislative District 7, each offering starkly different visions for affordability, education, and water policy. Incumbent Walt Blackman pushes spending cuts and deregulation, while David Cook blames soaring water bills. Andrew Costanzo wants to scrap the state income tax, and Barby Ingle champions zero-based budgets and small business growth. On school choice, most back the current Empowerment Scholarship Account system, with Costanzo and Ingle resisting new oversight. When it comes to healthcare and food aid, all favor minimal, targeted help—Ingle and Costanzo stressing personal responsibility, Cook linking poverty to crime. Water conservation? All agree it’s urgent: Blackman favors science-driven solutions, Cook and Ingle protect rural wells, and Costanzo backs expanding Verde River storage.
