2025 Legislative Agenda

In the recent election, Arizonan voters emphasized the economy as their primary concern, with many not feeling the benefits of current economic growth. Despite improvements in poverty and income, rising costs for basic needs like housing have overshadowed these gains. Policymakers have consistently chosen to cut taxes and reduce investments in essential public services, including education, child care, and housing, which are crucial for creating economic opportunities.

Each year, our legislative focus at the AZCenter is to advance policies that ensure equitable revenue generation to support all Arizonans. We are committed to advocating for policies that promote equity and improve the well-being of everyone in the state.
