AMELIA’S PRIORITIES

  • AFFORDABILITY

    Arizona families are being squeezed by rising housing costs, utility bills, and the high cost of healthcare.

    As a doctor, Dr. Amelia Gallitano has seen what happens when people delay care because they can’t afford it.

    She will work to lower healthcare and prescription drug costs, expand access to care, address the housing shortage, and protect families from unfair utility rate hikes so working families can get ahead, not fall behind.

  • PUBLIC EDUCATION

    Arizona’s public schools are underfunded and stretched thin.

    As an educator, Dr. Gallitano knows what students and teachers need to succeed. She will fight to fully fund public schools, raise teacher pay, and ensure ESA programs are transparent, accountable, and held to the same standards as public schools.

    Strong public schools are essential to Arizona’s future.

  • HEALTHCARE

    Healthcare should be affordable and accessible for every Arizona family.

    Dr. Gallitano has spent her career treating patients and training future doctors. She will work to expand access, lower costs, and ensure healthcare decisions are guided by evidence, not politics.

  • WATER

    Arizona’s future depends on how we manage our water.

    Dr. Gallitano supports science-based water policy that protects long-term supply, holds large users accountable, and ensures sustainable growth for our communities.

  • PUBLIC SAFETY

    Dr. Amelia Gallitano believes public safety means supporting law enforcement, investing in prevention, and addressing the root causes of crime. That includes ensuring first responders have the resources they need, strengthening community-based programs, and expanding access to mental health care. 

    Amelia is committed to practical, balanced solutions that keep Arizona families safe while strengthening the communities we all call home.

AMELIA ON THE ISSUES

  • Judy Schwiebert Former State Representative - LD2

    I’m proud to endorse Dr Amelia Gallitano for our LD2 State Senate seat. As a longtime doctor, educator, and working mom, Dr. Amelia knows the issues personally - and will be ready on Day One to prioritize policies that reduce costs, strengthen our public schools, and make Arizona a sustainable place where everyone gets their chance to thrive. Vote for her in the July 21 primary

  • Heather A. Okvat, Ph.D, Licensed Psychologist

    Dr. Amelia Gallitano is up to tackling the challenges that face Arizonans. She is level-headed, principled, and committed to completing difficult tasks despite challenges. It is critical that Arizonans elect leaders and policymakers who are able to stand up for sensible affordability, full funding of public education, and protection of water, among other issues. To get meaningful legislation passed and dangerous legislation blocked in the Arizona legislature, we need Dr. Gallitano to win. I’m proud to support her.

  • Austin Mach, PharmD, BCSCP

    I’m voting for Amelia because she is compassionate, committed, and dedicated to finding solutions to problems for the most vulnerable in our community. If she can accomplish a small fraction of what she has accomplished as a physician, as a state senator, she will be the best person I will have ever voted for in my life. I am so proud to call her a my colleague, my candidate, my potential senator, and most importantly, my friend.

  • Mitzi Epstein, State Senator LD12

    Amelia cares about people and it shows. We need state senators who listen well and seek reliable sources to solve problems. As an MD, Amelia listens first by training and by her nature. I am happy to endorse Amelia Gallitano for the AZ Senate, and I’m glad she is running!

“Having worked alongside Dr. Amelia Gallitano for years at the Phoenix VA, I consistently witnessed her remarkable ability to connect with veterans, providing care that is both clinically precise and deeply compassionate. She embodies the ideal balance of advocacy, integrity, and heartfelt humanity. Dr. Gallitano is a principled leader who felt honored to serve our veterans. I wholeheartedly believe she is the right person to represent Legislative District 2 in the State Senate.”
