At AmericaFest 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona, we had a lively conversation with Arizona Representative Justine Wadsack. Serving in Legislative District 17, Wadsack has proven to be a strong advocate for her community during her 11-month tenure.
Described as ‘naughty’ for her polarizing stance on various issues, ranging from her effort to stop drag queen story hour in public schools to launching a fight against child trafficking on the border, Wadsack presented herself as someone ready and willing to face opposition and recalls for her beliefs.
Wadsack discussed her push for a bigger emphasis on trade school education within Arizona community colleges, creating opportunities for practical career paths like masonry, electrician work, and welding. Her introduction of the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)- a program that allows parents to decide where they want to send their children to school K through 12- continues to impact and shape the state’s education sector. A proponent of school choice, Wadsack genuinely believes that no two children learn the same way, advocating for alternative learning methods that best meet individual needs.
