Join us for a candid conversation with Athena Salman, Arizona State Representative for the 26th legislative district.

 

Athena Salman was born in Arizona to a working-class family. Having grown up in our public schools, Athena had the great fortune of being surrounded by educators who cared deeply about their students. However, from the early 1990s into the 2000s, Athena experienced what many Arizona children now confront: a public school system that had been shortchanged for decades by corrupt politicians.

 

Athena later studied at Arizona State University, where she earned degrees in Economics and Political Science. She now serves in the Arizona House of Representatives where she routinely takes powerful institutions head on in order to protect the public interest.
