ChristianBiographical Info:
David Rose is a proven leader, pastor, and public servant who has dedicated his life to faith, family, and fighting for his community. He is the Lead Pastor of Restoration Hope Church in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, a church he planted in 2020 that continues to impact lives through outreach, service, and biblical teaching.
David serves as the President of the Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board, where he has implemented bold and results-driven initiatives. Under his leadership, the district has successfully increased teacher salaries, improved staff retention, and became the first in the nation to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies from its framework. Additionally, the district removed harmful chemicals and food dyes from school meals, again becoming the first in the nation to do so. David has also firmly advocated for parental rights and student protection.
At the national level, David serves on the National Faith Advisory Board, working alongside faith leaders to advise on religious freedom and public policy. He is also actively involved with TPUSA Faith, equipping pastors and churches to engage culture, defend biblical values, and stand boldly in todays world.
Statement:
I am running for office because I have seen firsthand the consequences of leadership that fails to stand up for the people. In our schools, communities, and across our state, too many leaders have chosen compromise over fighting for what is right.
As President of the Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board, I took action instead of sitting back. I helped lead efforts to raise teacher pay, improve retention, eliminate DEI initiatives from our schools, remove harmful chemicals and food dyes from student meals, and defend parental rights. I stepped up and delivered real results for families.
Through my work as a pastor, I have spent years serving people, strengthening families, and helping individuals navigate real-life challenges. I have seen what works and what is broken.
On a national level, my service with the National Faith Advisory Board and my work with TPUSA Faith have allowed me to advocate for religious freedom and equip others to engage with culture using truth and conviction.
I am also running to fight for my familys future and to ensure that Arizona is a place my children and grandchildren can be proud of.
I am not seeking a title; I am running to serve. I am determined to fight for Arizona, protect our families, defend our values, and ensure that our government is accountable to the people.
Arizona deserves strong leadership that will not back down. I have proven that I will stand firm, I will fight, and I will deliver results.
