Hollace Lyon taught seventh-grade math before a 26-year Air Force career that included two commands and oversight of education and strategic planning. This is her third run for the Legislature: she lost House races in District 11 in 2014, to Republicans Mark Finchem and Vince Leach, and again in 2018. She has not held elected office. She says water policy and economic policy cannot be separated, and backs rural groundwater management zones.
