Gail Griffin
Republican · Senate · LD19
Gail Griffin has served in the Legislature on and off since 1997, moving between the House and Senate as term limits forced her out of one chamber; she is now in her tenth term and is seeking the Senate seat David Gowan is leaving. As chair of the House natural resources, energy and water committee, she has for years declined to hear rural groundwater bills, again in 2026. An associate broker at Sierra Vista Realty since 1975, she declined the Clean Elections debate.

Gail Griffin’s “cloud-seeding” bill passed the committee she chairs two weeks ago, but it might run afoul of other GOP lawmakers who are trying to ban weather modification measures. However, Republican Sen. John Kavanagh said he’d exempt cloud-seeding from his proposal to ban using chemicals in the atmosphere to affect temperatures. (January 27, 2026)
