2026 Candidates - Arizona's Legislative District 13

The Gilbert Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting a strong, pro-business environment by equipping our members with meaningful, nonpartisan insights into candidates seeking public office.

As part of the Chamber’s formal endorsement process, all eligible candidates were invited to participate in recorded interviews focused on issues that impact the business community, including economic development, workforce, infrastructure, and the overall business climate. These interviews are reviewed and scored by business community stakeholders as part of the evaluation process.

We encourage members to watch each candidate’s interview and utilize the provided scorecard to thoughtfully evaluate responses based on their own priorities and experiences. Feedback from the business community plays a critical role and will be considered alongside additional criteria in determining final endorsements.

The Gilbert Chamber’s endorsements are nonpartisan and reflect a commitment to advancing policies and leadership that support a thriving business environment in Gilbert.

Each Gilbert Chamber member is eligible to submit an Evaluation Scorecard. Submissions are due by the close of business on May 22nd via email to sarah@gilbertchamber.com.
