Faster than a spinning lobbyist, more powerful than a strike-all amendment — it’s AZ Powergirl, celebrity cosplay model, swooping in to save the Arizona Legislature!
Or so voters of Tempe’s Legislative District 26 can imagine, now that Cara Nicole Trujillo is officially in the race for the Arizona House of Representatives.
On the heels of a successful signature drive and filing two weeks ago with the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, Trujillo’s name will appear on the November ballot as a Green Party candidate in the district, which also captures slivers of Scottsdale, Mesa, and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. This week, Trujillo will make her regular appearance at Phoenix Comicon. But unlike years past, this time she’ll be armed with campaign buttons and soliciting donations for her first-ever bid for public office.
