Profile: Arizona Rep. Kyrsten Sinema

Submitted by Adam_Smith on May 09, 2007

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."
