Mikel Weisser on the Left Coast of AZ: "My Name Is ..." (A 2014 Campaign Introduction)

My name is Mikel Weisser. I am a former construction worker and retired history teacher taking on Paul Gosar and the Tea Party in Western Arizona. I want your help in the fight.

A poet, political writer, entertainer/arts organizer and Democratic community activist working in the Bullhead, Kingman & Prescott areas, I first challenged the GOP for control of the newly created congressional seat in 2012 while maintaining my full-time teaching career. This round I'm running full out for US House of Representatives in Arizona's 4th Congressional District and cleaning house is job #1.

The 4th Congressional District (I affectionately call it “The Left Coast of AZ”) spans the western 1/3 of the state. Running along the Colorado River from Yuma to Utah, CD4 also wraps around the PHX metropolitan area, and includes the majority of Yavapai County, plus northern Gila County as well. It’s a big territory and I have a big job ahead of me, but I am a big man w an even bigger heart & I came ready for the battle. We can see the the Tea Party is crumbling right before our eyes. It is time to take them this fight.

I stand for a 21st Century economy, dramatically improving education, immigration reform, women's rights & gender equality, solar & wind, rural modernization, improved consumer protections against predatory banks & corporations, reversing the privatization of government services (such as private prisons), increased arts funding, and cannabis legalization at the federal level. I currently serve as the legislative liaison for Safer AZ, on cannabis legislation at the state level. I am also Northern Vice Chair of the Arizona Democratic Party Progressive Caucus, Mohave County Democratic Party Secretary and serve on the board of the Arizona chapter of Democracy for America.

We CAN make a Difference, Let's Change Arizona Now!
