Real Results.

Chris Deschene

Chris Deschene is a state legislator, lawyer, engineer, veteran, husband, and father of two. As we choose our second highest elected official, Arizona deserves a strong leader with a proven track record and a commitment to protecting the right of all Arizonans to have their voices heard on Election Day.

As Arizona’s Chief Elections Officer, Chris Deschene will tackle head on Arizona’s complicated, contradictory, and ambiguous election laws. As an experienced attorney and legislator, he has the expertise needed to identify and repair the ambiguities and loopholes that have led to countless voting irregularities statewide. He will perform a top to bottom review and assessment of policies and procedures with an eye toward improving efficiency, securing the integrity of our elections, expanding voter education and outreach, and increasing communication between the State and County Recorders.

As the next in line for the Governor’s seat, Chris Deschene is ready to lead if called. With our state in economic crisis, his years as an attorney building renewable energy infrastructure across the country have given him the unique experience to lead Arizona into its next big area of economic growth.
