Who is Connie Sanchez?
Connie Sanchez, president of Blondes for Brewer
Seriously, who is Connie Sanchez? This vivacious blonde recently blew unto the Tucson social scene and has been collecting friends on facebook like charms on her charm bracelet.
But who is she really?
Well, let me tell you, as president of Blondes for Brewer, Connie is force to be reckoned with. She is not one of Jan Jan’s lobbyists…er… handlers…er… “assistants.” She is one of Jan Jan’s true confidants. (A bit of girl talk here, but I think they even use the same color, if you know what I mean.)
Rumor has it that Connie and other Blondes for Brewer may show up at some Goddard events or maybe even some Teabag events. You never know where this politically savvy GF will be.
To be in the know, check out Connie’s facebook page and be her friend. I am.

The Living Economy event was very informative; we had a great time hob-nobbing. My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona and buying/investing locally. We believe that supporting local small businesses with low-interest loans through a public/private partnership between a public bank and community banks and credit unions is the sustainable route to improving our local economy. Trickle down economics doesn’t work; it’s time for new ideas.
This is a broken sink in the Ladies’ Room at the Arizona State Building in downtown Tucson. One of the elevators also was broken. It’s time to fix Arizona government.
I have a background in research. Help me build Tucson’s tech industry and grow our own local businesses.

There have been many lively debates in the Arizona House in 2018. This team of House Democrats fought for consumer protections and fought against risky financial deals in a “regulatory sandbox.” (Pictured are Reps. Mitzi Epstein, Kelli Butler, Athena Salman, Pamela Powers Hannley, Ken Clark and Isela Blanc.)

We often hear that corporations need migrant workers because Americans “don’t want to do these jobs.” When I hear this statement, I picture farm workers picking vegetables. Recently, I toured two dairies and an animal feed packing plant in Pinal County. The photo above from the Zinke Dairy shows a giant cow milking carousel. Nine migrant workers milk 4000 cows three times a day at this dairy. Legislators watched the two men pictured here– working at a brisk pace– bend over and pick up, lift, and attach large electronic suction cups to the cows as they ride the carousel around the giant facility. This level of automation is the wave of the future for industrial jobs.

It was truly a honor to meet Nevada State Senator Patricia Spearman (center) in October and to confer with her regarding our efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Arizona. Spearman led the successful Nevada efforts to ratify the ERA in 2017. Here we are with activist and NOW leader Dainne Post after the ERA workshop at the We the People Conference in Phoenix. There are a lot of Arizona women who are ready to make history in 2018. Watch my blog here and my Facebook page here for ERA updates.

Connie Sanchez is one hip chick. She is a mover and a shaker in the Tucson art scene, as well as politics. Look for more about her, her GFs in Blondes for Brewer, and Jan Jan on this blog. 🙂
