Senator Joe Eddie Lopez 1
Today in the Senate 2
Upcoming in the Senate 3
Riddle Answer:
An envelope
Senator Lopez has spent much time in public service. He
says, “I consider that to be a person’s greatest calling.”
Senator Lopez is currently serving his sixth year in the
Senate, following six years in the House of
Representatives. Prior to that, he spent four years on the
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. He also
represents Arizona in the Tourism and Economic
Development Committee of the NCSL. Senator Lopez is
also a National Advisory Panel member of the Hispanic
Border Leadership Institute. He also serves as a member
of Mexican-American Legislators Policy Institute. Senator
Lopez is a member of the Senate committees on
Education, Family Services and Transportation.
Education, employment and healthcare issues are most important to Senator Lopez. He
says it “a great opportunity to devote oneself to these things.” Progress is slow; education
is still bad for Latinos and Native Americans and only 50% of those who begin
kindergarten graduate from high school. Senator Lopez has also had an active voice on
the equal wage issue, introducing SB 1278 this session. Medical care for the poor is also in
bad shape, and Senator Lopez had hopes of being more successful in addressing these
issues and curbing the problems. “I have been able to at least maintain a level of service
to the community,” he says. “Things haven’t gotten worse.” Senator Lopez adds that,
though it can be frustrating sometimes, the legislative process does work.
Senator Lopez is a full-time legislator. “I look at this as a job, and I made a promise to my
electorate that I would serve full time.” The title is not important to him; having been
able to address important issues is “probably the most gratifying thing for me,” Senator
Lopez says. He visits schools and constituents whenever he can, and has extensive
knowledge of his district. Senator Lopez puts an extraordinary amount of time and effort
into his job.
In addition to his work as an elected official, Senator Lopez served six years on the
Phoenix Union High School Governing Board, and has co-founded and remained active
in three organizations. These are Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc., Valle Del Sol, Inc. and the
Barrio Youth Project. Senator Lopez also serves as Chairman of the Phoenix Human
Relations Commission. Senator Lopez has a wife, two children and two grandchildren.
He has lived in Maricopa County since 1949.
