Laura Huber is a mental health counselor whose work has taken her into jails, homeless outreach and psychiatric wards, and who has run her own business. She advanced unopposed from the July 21 Democratic primary and faces an incumbent who drew no opponent in 2024. Little else about her record is documented. She says she comes from five generations of farmers and that Arizona will have to transition to desalinated water.

Professional Experience
- Over the years, I've worked on the front lines as a counselor in a jail, overseeing crisis mobile teams, working in psychiatric hospitals, and doing homeless outreach. I've sat with people in their darkest moments, parents struggling to get clean so they can reunite with their kids, veterans haunted by trauma, teenagers who've given up hope, men behind bars trying to find purpose again. I've seen how broken systems and political inaction keep people trapped in suffering and how simple, compassionate support can change a life. Why I'm Running Those experiences shaped me. They made me a better listener, a stronger advocate, and someone who believes deeply that public service is about people. They're why I'm running for office. I've seen what happens when policy fails and I know how powerful it can be when government actually works for the people it serves. Here in LD25, we share a lot of the same values I grew up with: hard work, fairness, and community. We believe in looking out for our neighbors, being good stewards of the land, and making sure everyone has a fair shot to thrive.
