Miranda Lopez is a political organizer who took the second Democratic nomination in July, beating Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton 8,677 votes to 8,395. She directed the Pima County Democratic Party for nearly two years, organized with the Arizona Students Association and was treasurer of United Campus Workers while finishing a master's in public administration. A self-described democratic socialist, she wants the ESA voucher program eliminated, a moratorium on data centers and Arizona's right-to-work law repealed.
