Endorsements for State Legislature – 2010 General Election

Below are Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) legislative candidate endorsements for the general election. This voting guide may not include all candidates that support animal protection. Endorsements are based upon legislative voting records and candidate questionnaire responses.

Please note that if a candidate does not respond to the questionnaire HVA is unable to make an endorsement.

Some legislative districts are not included because HVA either does not endorse any of the candidates or we did not receive a response to the questionnaire.  Legislative voting records are given more weight than questionnaire responses. We only have legislative report cards for incumbents and former legislators.

Please check the 2010 Legislative Report for voting records of incumbent or former candidates (posted here)

Additional Comments

Humane Voters of Arizona wishes to acknowledge Senator Linda Gray and Representative Nancy Barto, who sponsored measures to protect animals in domestic violence situations. Also, Representative Russell Jones was the only Republican to speak out against SB 1200 on the floor.

Although these lawmakers do not have a history of supporting animal protection, we were encouraged by their actions and are hopeful that they will continue their efforts.
