Mitzi in Action

Mitzi Epstein helped achieve a number of wins for our community, despite the toxic partisanship of the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature. Mitzi knows reasonable bipartisanship is the only way to get things done and that’s the goal - to solve problems and create solutions so Arizonans can focus on what matters most to them.
