Joshua Ayala

Republican · Senate · LD11

Joshua Ayala, a Phoenix native who owns a financial services business and earned an associate degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho in 2019, is making his second run at this seat. He lost to Miranda in 2024 and was unopposed in this year's Republican primary. Because Miranda did not attend the Clean Elections debate, he sat for a separate question-and-answer session, where he said her absence "shows a lot about who she is."
