Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the campaign, SRP elections, and how you can help.

Voting & Eligibility

Can I vote in SRP elections?

SRP uses a land-based voting system established in 1903. To vote, you must own land within the SRP service area that has water rights—or be a registered voter living on such property. This excludes most renters and many homeowners.

When is the election?

The SRP Council election is April 7, 2026. SRP elections happen every two years, with different districts on the ballot each cycle.

What's the deal with acre voting?

SRP's voting system gives more votes to people who own more land. One acre = one vote. Large landowners and corporations can accumulate significant voting power, while most residents—especially renters—have no voice at all.

About the Campaign

Why are two people running together?

SRP Council has three seats representing District 6. One new voice can be outvoted. Two voices working together can actually shift policy. John and Sara are running as a team because that's how change happens—through coordinated effort, shared preparation, and mutual support. They're partners at home, and they'll be partners in fighting for ratepayers.

Are you Democrats or Republicans?

We're running as independent ratepayer advocates. SRP elections are non-partisan, and we think that's how it should be. High energy bills don't care about your party registration. Neither does your ability to go solar, or whether your water supply is sustainable.

Our focus is simple: represent the people who pay the bills, not the special interests who profit from them.

Who funds your campaign?

We're funded by small donations from District 6 neighbors and ratepayers—people like you. We're not backed by utility PACs, corporate interests, or large industrial users. That independence is exactly why we can ask the hard questions that incumbents won't.

About SRP

What can the SRP Council actually change?

A lot. The SRP Council sets electric rates, approves infrastructure investments, decides water allocation policy, and determines how the utility treats solar customers. Unlike APS (which is regulated by the Arizona Corporation Commission), SRP has no external oversight. The elected board IS the oversight. That's why these elections matter so much.

Why doesn't SRP like solar?

SRP makes money selling electricity. When you generate your own power, you buy less from them. Their response has been to impose fees and demand charges that make solar less economical—even in one of the sunniest places on Earth. We believe Arizona should be leading the nation in solar adoption, not discouraging it.

How is SRP different from APS?

APS is a for-profit utility regulated by the Arizona Corporation Commission—an elected body that reviews rate requests and holds hearings. SRP is a quasi-governmental entity with its own elected board and no external regulator. Your APS neighbors have state officials reviewing utility decisions. SRP customers have only the board—which is why who sits on that board matters so much.
