It would be easy to say Kevin Volk, Holly Lyon and Edgar Soto simply rode the Blue Wave to victory. That sells you, the volunteers, short. Their campaigns ran on the sweat of hundreds of volunteers who canvassed (even in the summer!), called, texted and tabled for this team.
Waves don’t just happen. They build, one door knock and one phone call at a time. This one ended 60 years of Republican rule, and you should be proud!
Here are the victory statements from our three legislators, Kevin, Holly and Edgar.
Holly Lyon
LD17 organizers did this! Volunteers from all over Arizona and beyond followed their road map to success, and here we are. You are the best! Take some time to recover. Refine. And assess. While you plot a way into 2028, your electeds will work to provide real results worth bragging about! Thank you!
Edgar Soto
I am incredibly humbled and grateful for the trust the people of Legislative District 17 have placed in me. This victory belongs to all of us every volunteer, supporter, neighbor, and voter who believed we could build a better future together.
Throughout this campaign, I have said that political power belongs to the people, and I intend to carry that belief with me every day at the State Capitol. My commitment is simple: put people before politics, listen to every voice, and work across party lines to deliver meaningful results for our communities.
The election may be over, but our work together is just beginning. Thank you, LD 17. I am honored to serve you, and I will work every day to earn your trust.
Kevin Volk
I am humbled to have been re-elected to the Arizona House of Representatives by the voters of Legislative District 17. I’m excited to serve alongside Edgar Soto and Holly Lyon.
I was grateful to be elected by my Democratic colleagues as a Majority Whip to be a part of a team that governs for all Arizonans.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Now the campaign is over and a new chapter begins in the work to improve the lives of Arizonans.
