Representative Bob Stump has represented District 9 (Sun City, Peoria, Glendale and Youngtown) in the Arizona House of Representatives since 2002. He is campaigning for one of three open seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission and would be honored to have your vote.

Bob understands that few issues are more important to Arizona's future than water and energy. As your next Commissioner, Bob will fight for ratepayers and consumers; aggressively protect citizens against securities fraud; advocate for new water and energy infrastructure for our rapidly-growing state; and pursue all avenues of energy production to secure energy which is cheaper, more convenient to obtain, and cleaner.

Citizens for Arizona Policy has praised Bob's proven legislative track record, calling him "one of Arizona's most articulate and eloquent champions of conservative ideals." The Arizona Republic says Bob is "energetic…intelligent, hard-working and effective...a quick study [and] a strong fiscal conservative." In spite of their diversity of viewpoints, every sitting member of the Arizona Corporation Commission stands united in endorsing Bob to serve on the Commission: Commissioners Mike Gleason, Jeff Hatch-Miller, Gary Pierce, Kris Mayes and Bill Mundell. Bob has also been endorsed by Congressman Trent Franks, Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, Speaker of the House Jim Weiers, State Mine Inspector Joe Hart, and many others.

The Corporation Commission has been called the "fourth branch of government." Extensive public policy experience and a knowledge of how government works are indispensable qualifications to serve on the Commission. Bob serves as a member of the House Water and Agriculture Committee, where he has helped promote sound water management policies for our state - a key responsibility of the Commission. He has a wide range of policy experience, having served as Vice Chair of the Health and Rules committees; Chairman of the House Health Committee; Co-Chair of the Joint Select Committee to Investigate Operations and Conditions at the Arizona Veterans Home; and as a member of the Commerce & Military Affairs, Ways & Means, Financial Institutions & Insurance, Rules, Ethics and Education (K-12) committees. Bob has also helped craft several multi-billion-dollar budgets for our state.

Bob's groundbreaking policy proposals have made front-page news in USA Today and serve as model legislation for legislatures throughout the country. He has discussed key legislative initiatives on CNN; "Your World with Neil Cavuto," on the Fox News Channel; National Public Radio; PBS's "Horizon"; as well as various national and international media. In 2006, Bob was a featured guest on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," which devoted nearly an hour to discuss his innovative policy ideas with a national audience.

Bob has received over a dozen awards in recognition of his efforts to improve health care for Arizonans and protect Arizona's taxpayers and families - including awards from the Alzheimer's Association, the Autism Society of America, the Arizona Medical Association, the Arizona Healthcare Association, the Arizona Association of Homes and Housing for the Aging, the Arizona Association of Community Health Centers and the Arizona Pharmacy Alliance, among others. Last year, the March of Dimes honored Bob for helping improve the odds for Arizona's babies by working to prevent birth defects. A proven fiscal conservative, Bob has also been honored as a "Champion of the Taxpayer" by the Arizona Federation of Taxpayers and has been awarded the "Eagle for Enterprise" award by the Arizona Small Business Association for his work on behalf of small-business owners. For several years in a row, he has received the "Friend of the Family" award from the Arizona Family Project and an A+ grade from the NRA. Bob has also received a 100 percent rating from the Center for Arizona Policy and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).

A lifelong Republican who has volunteered for over a dozen Republican campaigns, Bob holds degrees from Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley.
