State Representative Mitzi Epstein represents our community full time, with a caring, collaborative, positive approach. She is a computer systems analyst who has worked for multi-national companies including Olin Brass, and Citicorp. She owns a very small business called Custom Language Training which provides teachers and consultants to help businesses communicate. Public education, and advocating for children are at the heart of Mitzi's vocation. She has co-founded local and statewide coalitions of parents, teachers, retirees, and business leaders to advocate for high quality public education. She was elected to the Kyrene School Board in 2004 and served through 2008. After that, the AZ State PTA asked Mitzi to be their Legislative Issues Chair, and then elected her as Vice President. She was first elected to the Arizona Legislature in 2016, and was re-elected in 2018 and 2020. She is the Ranking Member on the Ways and Means Committee, and also serves on the Land, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs Committee, where her analytical and business skills are an asset to the teamwork in the House of Representatives. In 2017, she established the "Neighbors Council" an open, public group that meets monthly or as needed to work on solving problems and making opportunities for the people of Arizona. Rep. Mitzi Epstein has had success working on complex problems to find solutions that work.
Rep. Epstein stands on the principle that every solution is better when it is developed with a wide range of perspectives at the table. |
