Revolutionizing Civic Service & Leadership with Recorder Cázares-Kelly Pt.1

Beneath The Surface

In part one of this episode of Beneath The Surface I am in conversation with Gabriella Cázares-Kelly the current Pima County Recorder. We discuss with one another what inspired her to run for the Office of Pima County Recorder, what it means for her to have made history as the first Native American to hold an elected Pima County office and the third Native American to hold a county-level office in the State of Arizona. We also discuss ways that we as a collective can revolutionize how people are able to engage in civics.

Recorder Cázares-Kelly Bio

Gabriella Cázares-Kelly (she/her) is the Pima County Recorder, taking office in January 2021. She leads an office that oversees voter registration, early voting, and document recording for the county. She is a proud, union-dues-paying, former #RedForEd public school educator and community organizer. She is one of four women who co-founded Indivisible Tohono, a grassroots, community organization that provides opportunities for education and civic engagement for members of her tribe, the Tohono O’odham Nation. She was inspired to run for office after encountering many systemic barriers preventing people from simply getting registered to vote. She lives with her husband, Ryan, and their two children, who are now voting age. She is the first Native American to hold an elected Pima County office and one of only four Native Americans to ever hold a county-level office in Arizona.
