Biographical Info:

I am Barby Ingle, Republican candidate for Arizona State Representative, Legislative District 7. Born in Bangkok, Thailand to U.S. Army parents, I earned a B.S. in Psychology from George Mason University. I am currently a health advocate for over 20 years, Best selling author, and nonprofit leader, I have authored/co-authored seven legislative proposals in Arizonafour now lawprotecting privacy and patient rights. I serve as Pinal County Precinct Committeeman, AZ State Committeeman and have collaborated on legislation in 35+ states. Married to Ken Taylor, we live in Pinal County. Guided by Christian faith and conservative values, I fight for border security, fiscal responsibility, constitution, and freedom. Faith. Family. Arizona First. MAGA. MAHA.

Statement:

My own journey through rare diseases and chronic pain showed me exactly how broken our system has become for working families. Instead of giving up, I turned my pain into purpose as a national advocate and Vice President of the International Pain Foundation. I have fought for better privacy and individualized healthcare, policy reform and deregulation. Arizona families in rural LD7 deserve a representative who puts AZ First and America First. I will secure our interior border, restore election integrity, protect our ranchers, agriculture and water from foreign ownership, reject unreliable energy projects that blanket our natural landscapes, defend parental rights in education, and champion MAHA principles that deliver individualized care instead of one-size-fits-all government mandates. With deep Christian faith, my husband Ken by my side, and constitutional-conservative values as my foundation, I refuse to sit on the sidelines. I am running to deliver bold results for safety, affordability, freedom, and opportunity. Arizona deserves leaders who fight for you the people. I am ready to serve you. #BarbyForLD7 #AZFirst
