Tovar has a storied and interesting history in Arizona politics.  She served on the Tolleson City Council for 7 ½ years.  She was first appointed to a House seat in LD13 in 2009.  She then won that seat in 2010.  In 2012, she won a Senate seat in LD19.  She did not seek reelection in 2014.  In 2016, Tovar was elected Mayor of the City of Tolleson.  She resigned that position in 2020 to run for the Arizona Corporation Commission.  Tovar responded to our survey and was neutral on eliminating the federal prohibition of marijuana. She was supportive of our other six statements.  Tovar added this:  “I continue to listen and learn from Arizonans about this issue.”  We have to respect Tovar for her willingness to be educated and to listen to fellow Arizonans relative to cannabis.
