Biographical Info:

David Livingston has made his home in Arizona since 1983. After graduating from ASU, Livingston built a financial consulting business with Ameriprise Financial, Inc. He is a Lifetime Member of the Million Dollar Round Table and became a Chartered Financial Consultant in 1997. As a financial advisor and franchise owner of Ameriprise Financial in Peoria, David helped parents save for their children’s education, provided solutions to adults with parents who require special care, and guided many people toward their financial and retirement goals. After 20 years of hard work building his highly successful business, David sold the business and semi-retired. But it didn’t last long, because David answered the call to run for office and was elected to the State House, receiving the fifth highest number of votes for the Legislature in the entire state.

Statement:

I’m one of Arizona’s most consistent conservative legislators, I’ve voted for the largest tax cuts in state history, the largest debt repayment in state history, funding for a real border wall to fill in the gaps left by the Biden Administration, the largest school choice expansion in the country, and I have a 100% pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment voting record. I’ve championed important reforms like Term Limits on Congress, voted for a Balanced Budget Amendment, and have defended President Trump from liberal attacks. Awarded School Choice Champion, Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, Representative of the Year, and more.
