Spicing Up Arizona Elections: Here's Cara Nicole Trujillo

...and you thought it was all the guys running for election to the Arizona State House having' so much fun!
Hold onto your seats fellas, there's a blonde bombshell cosplay costume artist who's shaking' up politics like we used to know it.
All sorts of characters run for seats in the Arizona Legislature. [You might remember Russell Pearce as just one]
Who could possibly want more in the world of entertainment we live in?
It's ripe > Comics/Cosplay + Art + Politics - O Yeah!

...but can we get serious for just one minute?
Cara Nicole Trujillo is staging a campaign for the seat in AZ Legislative District 26 that includes parts of Mesa and Tempe.
Cara Nicole Trujillo might be a new face on the Arizona political scene, but in the comic book world, she's a legend.
Phoenix New Times five days ago had this to say:
Faster than a spinning lobbyist, more powerful than a strike-all amendment — it's AZ Powergirl, celebrity cosplay model, swooping in to save the Arizona Legislature! . . .
On the heels of a successful signature drive and filing two weeks ago with the Arizona Secretary of State's Office, Trujillo's name will appear on the November ballot as a Green Party candidate in the district, . .

"I am serious about this," Trujillo says of her candidacy.
"I felt it was a good time to run.
I'm glad people are deciding they want to get more involved, and I want to give people the opportunity to choose something more outside the red-and-blue party system. . .

The Mesa resident also volunteers with Arizona Family Rights, a nonprofit activist group that helps people with divorce and custody issues. Trujillo says she has spoken at legislative hearings over the past few years, lobbying for laws that would give divorced parents equal time with their kids. (Both she and her husband were previously married.) Trujillo's experience also includes talking with the "everyday Joe" in her cross-country travels, she says.

AZ Powergirl presents herself as an outsider who may vote with Democrats or Republicans but won't feel beholden to either party. Environmental issues are important to the Green Party candidate — she's a big believer in reusing gray water, for example. She describes herself as "very pro-limited government." Her father is a gunsmith, she says, and she's pro-gun rights for the most part.
She wants to help local businesses, decentralize government power throughout the state, reform asset-forfeiture laws, and improve education. She's not running as a Clean Elections candidate, because she thinks doling out public money to candidates is a "scam." She has knocked on hundreds of doors in recent months and "talked to people personally."

Just like nearly all candidates who are residents of Mesa and in the run for office, she has also worked with numerous hospitals and charitable foundations to hold events for children and promote fundraisers.
In an election year that’s been full of surprises, controversy and a reality star's campaign for president, it’s not unusual to see a candidate work to turn popularity into votes.






She knows how to use social media
