State Representative Drew John is a Republican representing District 14, in Greenlee, Graham, Cochise and eastern Pima counties.

Serving a term on the Safford Unified School Board and recently spending 16 years as a Graham County Supervisor in District One, Representative John has learned that leadership is more than just leading. It's just as important to listen, if not more important, in being a good and strong leader.

Representing and protecting rural Arizona and their families is his top priority in the Arizona Legislature.

John, who is a 4th generation Arizonian, currently lives in Graham County and spent most of his youth living on a ranch farm in Cochise County 20 miles north of Benson. He also attended Benson Union and Safford High Schools. He's been married 41 years, has 3 children, and has been involved in family and his own businesses all of his life. He was a graduating member of Project Central Center for Rural Leadership Class XXII and selected as a Fellow for the Flinn-Brown Foundation Civic Leadership Program. His lifelong service to his community and state is exemplified by his service on the:

  • Safford Unified School Board
  • AZ State Parks Off Highway Vehicle Advisory Board
  • Southeastern AZ Governments Organization
  • AZ/NM Coalition - Chairman
  • AZ BLM Resource Advisory Commission
  • AZ Criminal Justice Commission
  • Eastern AZ Counties Organization
  • Southeastern AZ Sportsmen Club
  • AZ State Parks Foundation
  • Friends of Roper Lake State Park Board
  • AZ Fair & Racing Association

Rep. John often says that it is an honor to be able to represent his teachers, coaches, family, friends and neighbors that he learned from, grew up with and worked with. It is a responsibility that he takes seriously.
