Candidate Background

Raquel Terán is running to represent Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Prior to serving Arizona’s state legislature, she began her career as a community organizer, primarily focusing on immigrant communities. Terán is a coalition builder, a fighter for progressive policies, and a fighter against extremism-from organizer, to legislator to Party chair. Terán was instrumental in the success we saw in Arizona in the 2022 election cycle with statewide wins in the Gubernatorial race, Attorney General race, and Secretary of State race.

While serving as a state representative and state senator, she has introduced legislation to make it easier to vote, reform campaign finance laws, on climate resiliency planning, to ban fracking, increase environmental permitting requirements for overburdened communities, fund clean school buses and electric vehicles, protect clean water, increase energy efficiency standards and more. If elected to Congress, she will continue to champion environmental justice and democracy. Terán is endorsed by LCV Action Fund.
