InfoPaul Newman has proven to be an effective leader during his life of public service. He is a two term Cochise County Supervisor and three term State Representative. Named Legislator of the Year by Arizona Association of Counties and by the Behavioral Health Community for his work in the Arizona Legislature; Newman has served the people of Cochise, Graham, Greenlee and Santa Cruz counties since 1992. During his tenure in the Arizona Legislature, The League of Conservation Voters consistently ranked Paul Newman #1 in voting to protect the environment.

Paul has an impressive record of protecting the environment. In serving the best interests of the community as Cochise County Supervisor, Paul has successfully stopped a trash burning incinerator in Whetstone, and a coal burning power plant in Bowie. On April 21, 2008, Earth Day, Paul received The U.S. Dept. of the Interior Cooperative Conservation Award for his work in preserving the San Pedro River.

Born and raised on his family’s dairy farm in New Jersey, Paul Newman earned a B.A. in Behavioral and Social Science from the University of Maryland, a Master in Public Administration and a Master in Judicial Administration from University Southern California, and a Juris Doctorate from California Western School of Law. Newman has practiced law in Arizona since 1988, prior to which he was an administrator, researcher, and consultant with the California court system where he served as Court Management Consultant for the National Center for State Courts, California Supreme Court, Los Angeles Municipal Court, Sacramento Municipal Court and San Diego Superior Court from 1976 through 1986. Paul has also served as a Public Defender in San Diego County, Cochise County and Pima County and is currently in private practice in Bisbee. He recently completed a Certificate in Public Policy from the University of Arizona.

Paul works to protect and improve the lives of all Arizonans. He led a successful funding effort for Kartchner Caverns and established a state-wide rural technology incubator system; secured funding for Healthy Families, Healthy Children; developed tax credits for businesses to hire the unemployed; fully-funded the widow and disabled homeowners tax credit; assisted in establishing and funding the border volunteer corps program; and lobbied to secure full funding for the University of Arizona at Sierra Vista and Cochise College. Paul has always been responsive to the needs of constituents and he can be trusted to continue to be a strong voice for the people.

Paul Newman is an advocate for creating a sustainable economy while protecting our environment. He is running for a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission in order to lead Arizona in becoming a significant source of solar energy. Arizona is poised to lead our nation to energy independence if only the will to do so can be brought to the ACC. Establishing Arizona as an exporter of solar power to the entire United States will create good paying green collar jobs which can’t be outsourced and it will allow America to throw off the chains of foreign oil dependence. Arizona can spur the growth of appropriate technologies for addressing climate change by leading the way on solar power. Our state’s economy will reap the benefits of the research, development, construction, maintenance, staffing and training required to upgrade to the energy source of the new millennium.

There are those who debate whether we face a threat to our climate and our environment, and there are those who are willing to face the facts before us. Paul Newman knows our problem is an opportunity in disguise. He has the vision to see a way through the problem to a solution and he knows that Arizona holds the key with its bounty of sunlight.

Elect Paul Newman to the ACC and Arizona’s treasure trove of sunshine can fuel a bright future of opportunity and sustainable growth for our state and our country.
