Putting Arizona Businesses Before Politics

Teri Ann Hourihan for AZ Governor. When I see businesses across Arizona being hurt, struggling, and left without support, I can’t help but wonder why some businesses get the Governor’s attention while others are ignored. We see ribbon cuttings, grand openings, and photo opportunities, but what about the businesses that have spent years serving our communities, creating jobs, and helping people every day? As a healthcare provider and business owner, I’ve spent years serving Arizonans and helping thousands of people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Yet I often ask myself: where was the support when businesses like ours needed it most? Do you ever think about that? I do. Every business owner deserves to know their government sees them, hears them, and values their contribution—not just the businesses with the biggest donors, lobbyists, or political connections. As Governor, I will be a Governor for all Arizona businesses. I will not accept PAC money or large corporate donations because government decisions should be based on what’s best for Arizona—not on who wrote the biggest check. Arizona deserves leadership that shows up for everyone.
