SPOTLIGHT RACE: Kiana Maria Sears for AZ-LD09

Kiana Sears is a community advocate, engaged ASU Sun Devil, nonprofit community leader, and an Arizona seasoned public policy professional. Her commitment to service is inspired by her father, a Vietnam veteran, and her mother, a dedicated civil servant in municipal water services for many years.

Sears loves the beautiful State of Arizona and believes we must pay special attention to the education of all Arizona’s children, irrespective of ethnicity. Kiana is a graduate of ASU, where she earned a Master’s in Public Administration.

Early in her career she was on the research staff for the Arizona State Senate where she began to learn about the workings of Arizona government and the details of public policy. She later spent 7 years as Executive Utility Regulatory Consultant for the Arizona Corporations Commission. As executive consultant she learned the intricacy of utility policy and made recommendations to the commission. Kiana is a proud 20 year resident of Mesa, and currently serves as the State Senator of Legislative District 9!
