Candidates for Governor in Arizona vying for Clean Elections funds must show broad community support by collecting 4,200 $5 donations. In 2006, former Democratic Gov. and current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano had no problem collecting these donations-she gathered 7,200. More than a third came from constituents outside of her political party.

Profile: Arizona Rep. Kyrsten Sinema
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema likes to stay busy. Aside from being a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, she’s a college professor and a lawyer. After graduating from college at the age of 18, she began a career in social work as a way to help those in need.
"The goal of social work," she said," is to create social justice." And that's why she went into politics."Over the years as a social worker, I became more and more upset about the injustice in my community. To create systemic social justice, I had to have influence over policy at the state level."
