Biographical Info:

Born and raised in Glendale, Arizona, Teri Ann Hourihan embodies the strength, resilience, and faith that define the American Dream.

On May 21, 2008, Teri made the decision that changed her life forever. At age 23 she chose to enter a life of recovery, gave her life to Christ, and committed herself to helping others reclaim their purpose. What followed is a story of redemption through hard work, perseverance, and unshakable belief in God and country.

Teri earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Arizona State University (2010), a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University (2014), and her Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Regent University (2018). In 2017 she became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona after serving in hospitals, residential programs, and community-based agencies that reached the most vulnerable.

In 2018, Teri founded Teri’s Health Services (THS)—a small practice that grew into a statewide, integrated-care provider with over 250 employees serving more than 10,000 patients, 80 percent of whom were Medicaid recipients. Her model combined psychiatry, counseling, and medical and psychological services under one roof—proof that compassion, efficiency, and accountability can coexist in healthcare. Teri served as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of her company since day one to now but knows all parts of her company. Teri works currently in the company as CEO, licensed counselor seeing clients, helping in scheduling and phones, and maintaining full practice oversight.

But in 2023, THS faced a catastrophic event that forced a complete restructuring. Overnight, Teri’s staff dropped from 250 to fewer than 20. Rather than walk away, she is rebuilding—leaner, stronger, and wiser. Out of that crucible came USA Advocate4All, a new platform for advocacy, accountability, and reform.

Now, Teri Ann Hourihan is stepping forward as a candidate for Governor of Arizona—a conservative voice for faith, family, and freedom.

“I’ve lived the bottom and the top. I’ve seen what happens when government fails families, and I’ve witnessed what can happen when people refuse to give up. I’m not a career politician or a product of the system , I’m a product of grace, grit, and the American Dream.”

Teri has voted in the past for candidates she believed were best for Arizona—Republican and Democrat alike—but she’s learned that true leadership isn’t built on party lines or political spin. It’s built on character, accountability, and real-world experience.

Her mission is simple:

Protect Arizona’s families from government and agency overreach.

Defend the Constitution and the rule of law.

Preserve Arizona sovereignty against federal intrusion.

Restore faith in government by putting people before politics.

“We need leaders who’ve lived real life, not just written papers about it. Arizona deserves a governor who understands both hardship and hard work—someone who fights for every family, every small business, and every right our Constitution guarantees.”

Teri Ann Hourihan is running to serve from the people, for the people—an authentic conservative voice dedicated to keeping Arizona free, sovereign, and strong.

Statement:

Teri Hourihan is standing up to peacefully fight back against systems and governmental leaders who have forgotten, or are just negligent, what it means to be public servants by running for Governor of AZ. Teri is focused on exposing corruption and fixing it, removing fraud from agencies by replacing leadership and creating systems that work, ensuring water is sustainable, AZ schools are functioning with excellence, and protecting our communities against railroad systems and rural takeovers among other forms of corporate and big money overreach. Teri is interested in creating change in every single agency in Arizona and ensuring all parts of government is working for the people, as it should be. Teri chose the No Labels/AZ Independent Party to keep an agenda focused on people not politics.
