Katrina Schaffner on her run for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District

More from this show

Katrina Schaffner (D), an activist and stay-at-home mom, is running to represent Arizona’s 5th Congressional District. The district contains Gilbert, Queen Creek, southern and eastern Chandler, and eastern Mesa.

We invited Schaffner and her opponent, incumbent Andy Biggs (R), to appear on the show, but Biggs declined. We sat down with Schaffner to discuss issues she would like to tackle in the district.
