Maricopa City Council Election — November 2026
Maria Chen has spent 12 years fighting for Maricopa families — better schools, safer streets, good jobs, and a government you can trust. Join the movement.
Issues & priorities
Maria Chen's six-point agenda addresses the challenges our neighbors face every day — from classroom overcrowding to housing costs to city hall transparency.
Every child deserves a great education. Maria will fight for school funding, smaller class sizes, and modern facilities across all nine districts.
Attract new businesses, support local entrepreneurs, and build an economy where Maricopa families can thrive without a two-hour commute.
Fully staff our police and fire departments, invest in community policing, and create a Maricopa where every neighborhood feels safe.
Partner with developers and nonprofits to create more workforce housing so teachers, nurses, and first responders can afford to live here.
Expand green spaces, improve our parks and trails, protect our desert environment, and invest in sustainable water management.
Open the books. Livestream council meetings, publish budget data online, and make city hall accountable to the people it serves.
Why Maria
Maria has attended more than 48 community town halls, visited every district, and built a platform from the ground up — shaped by the people who live here, not by party talking points.
