KYLE NITSCHKE

2022 CANDIDATE FOR ARIZONA STATE SENATE - DISTRICT 7

Born and raised in Arizona and a product of public schools, Kyle is currently an organizing director for the non-profit Arizona Students’ Association, actively involved in his community, and excited for the opportunity to make a change at the State Legislature. In 2018, as the organizer for NextGen America in Flagstaff, Kyle registered over 2,500 young people and contributed to an increase in voter turnout in the 2018 election of 300% on NAU’s campus. After graduating, Kyle took a job with Eva Putzova’s Congressional campaign where he met with and listened to the concerns of thousands of Arizona voters.

Kyle’s passion is in working with young people and increasing their political power. Arizona has seen drastic cuts to public education funding, and Kyle has seen the suffering of students, their families, faculty, and staff as a result. Kyle wants to see our public schools funded by 100% public funds. Kyle wants to see a thriving Arizona with jobs that have benefits (paid sick leave, parental leave, retirement savings, etc.). Most importantly, Kyle wants to see a State Legislature that works for ALL Arizonians, not just wealthy donors.
