Biographical Info:

John Trobough is an Arizona First conservative committed to delivering strength, security, and success for
every Arizona family and worker. John is a business leader and expert in today’s new emerging economy. As a
forward-thinking executive recognized across the technology, telecommunications, cybersecurity, artificial
intelligence, and national defense industries, John has combined operational expertise with visionary leadership
to pioneer strategic initiatives, elevate revenue streams, and create economic growth and jobs for the American
economy.

John rose from obscurity and humble beginnings to America’s C-suites and corporate boardrooms. At the age
of 16, John left home, lived with friends, slept on their couches, worked blue-collar jobs, and ultimately
graduated with a B.A. in Business Administration from Washington State University, complemented by an
executive education from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. John still serves as a mentor to students in
the Washington State business program, offering counsel and wisdom to our next generation of entrepreneurs
and business leaders.

Early in his career, John served as CEO & President of subsidiaries for Fortune 50 global companies,
successfully turned around private equity-backed firms, and scaled early-stage companies as an entrepreneur.
Acknowledged by the White House for his exceptional contributions, John was selected to join the President’s
Innovation Fellowship program as a trailblazing Silicon Valley technologist during the global digital revolution.
As the Managing Partner at JLA Advisors since 2016, John’s firm specializes in providing strategic consultancy
services to corporate boards, C-suites, private equity and venture capital firms, focusing on the technology,
media, and telecommunications sectors. John has directed transformative client engagements for prominent
organizations, including Macquarie Capital, Silverlake Group, Kleiner Perkins, and The Carlyle Group, achieving
success in wireless and broadband market expansion for JLA clients, SaaS company turnarounds, and
strategic guidance for defense contractors in next-generation technology.

Today, John’s focus is on running for the First Congressional District of Arizona. John is not driven by ambition
or political aspirations, but by the opportunity to make Arizona the envy of the country. As the Republican
candidate for Arizona’s CD1, home to TSMC, which manufactures the wafers for the Nvidia Blackwell chipsets,
John believes the United States and Arizona are at an inflection point of an economic and global leadership
explosion, and the only thing standing in its way is the common government creep and capture of
overregulation.

John is determined to grow the industries, technology, workers, talent, universities, junior college system,
manufacturing, and infrastructure that exist right here in Arizona as an example of innovation and prosperity.
John serves as an advisor on multiple boards, including Airbus Defense, LifePlus, and Washington State
University’s Business and Engineering Schools. John and his wife, Amy, residen Scottsdale and have four
children.

Statement:

Arizona is at a critical crossroads. The decisions we make today, including who we choose as our elected representatives, will determine the next 50 years of our state. I am running for Congress because I love my family, Arizona, the families who call Arizona home, and I love the abundance of opportunity that exists right here in Arizona.

I am not a career politician or political opportunist. I am a husband, father, neighbor, and a technology executive who wants to use my experience to prosper all Arizona families and workers. As an entrepreneur, tech CEO, and White House Innovation Presidential Fellow, I have operated at the highest levels of business and government. I understand the challenges we face, and solutions we need.

Arizona is ground zero and tip of the spear for the next great American transformative economic age. We are what Silicon Valley was 40 years ago without the high taxes and high cost of living. We are the Silicon Desert.

Arizona is home to great companies like TSMC, Nvidia, Apple, and Intel driving today’s economic growth. The future American economy is being built here in Arizona. We are home to UofA, ASU, and NAU – some of the best research universities in the country. And we are home to a premier junior college system producing skilled workers and opportunities through public-private partnerships. With the right leadership and right congressman focused on the right motives and commitment to public service, Arizona’s opportunities are infinite.

I am a Ronald Reagan conservative Republican. Like Reagan, I believe America is a shining city on a hill, and I believe Arizona is the lighthouse atop of the hill. I want to bring Arizona First leadership so we can deliver strength, security, and success for every Arizona family and every Arizona worker.

My priorities once elected would be:

Strength in Fiscal Sanity: I will attack our $39+ Trillion National Debt with fervor, and modernize the healthcare system through the Lower Costs, More Choices Act, ensuring affordability for families and solvency for our seniors.

Security in Arizona: I will work to continue to secure our border by finishing the wall and deploying advanced AI surveillance. I will also champion the Agricultural Labor Reform Act to ensure our local seasonal industries have a legal, verifiable workforce.

Success in the AI Revolution: I will fight to make Arizona the global hub for AI and defense innovation. By leveraging the Trump AI Act, and bringing Advanced Defense Innovation Data Centers to our state, we will create an economy that is the envy of the nation.
