Why Diana is Running
"I’m running to represent District 9 in the State House, because I believe strong schools and strong families are what make a Strong Springdale. Our community deserves a representative who is focused on us, not extreme policies that hurt our schools, businesses, and families.
​
I’m the granddaughter of immigrants. My father was an English learner who served in the US Navy, and my mother grew up harvesting fruits and vegetables and became a housekeeping supervisor at our local hospital. Springdale is my home, and I have deep roots here.
Our Springdale community is growing and leading the state on so many fronts. For years, so many of us have worked together in this community to strengthen families and schools, and it has been a joy to watch Springdale emerge as a true state leader. My life’s work is access—access to literacy, higher education, healthcare and mental health resources, and quality jobs.
I’m ready to represent our community, and I’ll work hard for strong schools, strong families, and an even stronger Springdale."
