Bold Progressive Leadership
Why I run
We need leaders who will stand strong in our values when confronting powerful institutions head on. Leaders who are firmly committed to building an Arizona where every family can thrive. We need a government that works for us all.
Progress for All
Year after year, state lawmakers have prioritized tax cuts for the rich over funding critical infrastructure. We are told that cuts will lead to prosperity, only to see many Arizonans struggle for basic needs and services. We are at a turning point. Our government can be transformed to ensure everyone thrives, and it starts with believing that we can make a difference, together.
“Representative Athena Salman is devoted to taking on the powerful in defense of the most vulnerable. She has what it takes to be a leader for her community and our state.”
—Democratic Leader, Rep. Charlene Fernandez
A Mother’s Dream
Throughout her life, Athena has fought for women and girls. She takes on the wealthy and the powerful in defense of the most vulnerable. She even had the courage to confront sexual harassment at the state capitol, so that women in the future would be protected.
