Kyrsten Sinema

Kyrsten knows firsthand the challenges everyday Arizonans face.

Born in Tucson, Kyrsten went through some tough times growing up. Her family struggled to make ends meet, and for a while they were even homeless. But they got by thanks to family, church, and hard work.

Kyrsten’s childhood experience showed her the power of hard work and the importance of helping others.

Education was Kyrsten’s ticket to a better life. With the help of student loans, academic scholarships, and financial aid, she went to BYU and then ASU, where she now teaches as a proud Sun Devil.

After graduating, she worked with students and families in Arizona who faced some of the same challenges she did. Kyrsten’s commitment to service led her to the Arizona Legislature, where she passed a law to help veterans get in–state tuition at all Arizona public universities, cracked down on sex trafficking, and advocated for children’s health care and education.

Now Kyrsten works every day to deliver for Arizona families in the U.S. Senate. She’s led successful bipartisan efforts passing the strongest investments in our nation’s infrastructure in generations, a historic community safety law to ensure our schools and communities are more secure, expanded health care and benefits for veterans, protections for same-sex marriages and religious liberty so all Americans can have the freedoms and certainty they deserve, and robust investments in American manufacturing, jobs, and innovation so America can compete and win globally on semiconductors and other advanced technologies.
