| Info | Native Phoenician, Economist, Lawyer, and Activist seeks to take on the vested political interests and take back Phoenix. Running for the Mayor of Phoenix, Jennifer Wright seeks to make essential city services priority, increase business opportunities, and reduce the tax burden.
Born and raised in Phoenix, I have seen a lot of changes over the past four decades to the Valley of the Sun. I remember moving to 60th Street & Bell when there were still mostly horse ranches and Greenway was a dead end. I attended both public and private schools throughout the Valley, seeing first hand the differences between various districts and schools.
I graduated from Horizon High School and ventured off to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I personally financed my own education and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Business Economics. I met my husband, Travis while attending Marquette. We married on the 6 years anniversary of our first date and we have been married 11 years.
Travis was a manufacturing engineer and Phoenix lacked opportunities for someone with his experience. So despite my desire to move back to Arizona, we took a brief detour to Oregon. We were finally able to return to Phoenix two years after that, and have lived continuously in Phoenix since 1998
After returning to the Valley, I worked in private industry, owned my own consulting business, and worked for nonprofit organizations - developing leadership and efficiency skills.
Long passionate about the law, I decided to go to law school. I graduated from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. It was shortly after I graduated law school that policy in America took a major shift. While I had been working with policy groups to make incremental restorations to individual, constitutional liberties - I was called to action to get involved in the political process.
I spent 2010 working on a political campaign in an effort to shift the pendulum, and in November of 2010 I led a team to investigate irregular activity related to Early Voting registrations in Yuma County. That team made a big difference - we assured voter integrity at Yuma polling locations on election day.
This past legislative session, I worked with Arizona Legislators to identify the gaps in the voting process that could result in fraudulent activity. Based on identified gaps, a number of bills were presented in the Arizona Legislature. While strides were made to improve the process with the passage of a few key bills, politics as usual stripped some of the best provisions out of the bills and kept others from being heard.
"Politics as usual" is destroying the American Dream. Right now, Phoenix is going out of business. We need to focus on the principles of jobs and opportunities, safety and security, and fiscal responsibility to get Phoenix back to business.
I grew up in Phoenix, my children are growing up in Phoenix, and I want to make sure that Phoenix remains a viable, world class city. Help keep Phoenix in business, please support Wright 4 Mayor.
