Jim Bishop for Arizona State Senate
“I can’t speak for you unless you let me.”
Jim Bishop is running to bring practical conservative leadership to LD26: safer neighborhoods, stronger schools, lower costs, and a state government that answers to citizens.
A working family man who believes LD26 deserves better representation.
James “Jim” Bishop is a Glendale resident and LD26 Republican running because families, taxpayers, students, and small businesses need a stronger voice at the Capitol.
Jim’s message is simple: the district cannot afford more excuses. Our neighborhoods need safety. Our schools need accountability. Our economy needs leaders who understand the pressure on families and small business owners.
That means showing up, listening directly, and fighting for policies that improve daily life — not just campaign slogans.
“The longer we wait, the bigger the mess is going to get. There’s no time like now — let’s get to work.”
Protect families
Support law enforcement, restore quality of life, and make every family feel safe at home, school, and work.
Put students first
Respect parents, raise standards, and support education choices that help students succeed.
Defend opportunity
Back small business, protect taxpayers, and keep Arizona affordable for working families.
LD26 needs accountable leadership now — not after the problems get worse.
Jim is running because the status quo is not delivering enough progress on safety, schools, cost of living, and local economic strength.

Safety
Safe neighborhoods
Restore order and quality of life.
Families should not have to wonder whether their kids are safe walking to school, whether small businesses can stay open, or whether lawlessness will be excused. Jim supports policies that back law enforcement, enforce consequences, and address crime before it takes root.
- Support police, firefighters, and first responders.
- Hold repeat offenders accountable.
- Protect neighborhoods, parks, schools, and small businesses.
Education
Parents and students first
Better schools, higher standards.
Arizona students deserve schools that teach fundamentals, prepare them for work and citizenship, and respect the role of parents. Jim supports transparency, parental rights, education choice, and high expectations in every classroom.
- Protect parental rights.
- Raise academic standards and accountability.
- Support practical career and technical pathways.
Prosperity
Lower costs, stronger jobs
Make Arizona affordable again.
Families are being squeezed by housing, utilities, groceries, taxes, and regulation. Jim believes Arizona should reward work, reduce waste, and make it easier for local employers to hire, grow, and keep opportunity close to home.
- Protect taxpayers from wasteful spending.
- Cut unnecessary red tape.
- Support entrepreneurs, trades, and local employers.
Elections
Trust and transparency
Confidence requires accountability.
Voters deserve election laws that are clear, lawful, secure, and transparent. Jim supports accountability in the process so every legal voter can have confidence that elections are run fairly.
- Secure, transparent election administration.
- Clear rules applied equally.
- Open communication with voters.
Community
Local voices first
Government should listen.
Jim’s campaign starts with a basic promise: he cannot speak for you unless you let him. That means listening to residents, business owners, parents, and community leaders before decisions are made.
- Responsive constituent service.
- Local problem solving.
- Respect for homeowners and neighborhoods.
