Tortosa Voter Declares: Keith Seaman Is the Only Candidate Worthy of My Vote

State Representative Keith Seaman addressed community concerns regarding improvements to State Route 347 during a meeting on August 15, 2024. Seaman, who is also a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee alongside Representative Teresa Martinez, has garnered support from constituents for his approach to local issues.
In a recent statement, a local resident expressed clear support for Seaman, emphasizing thorough research before making political decisions. “From what I’ve seen of the three candidates running, Rep. Keith Seaman is the only one deserving of my vote,” the resident noted, underscoring Seaman’s commitment to fixing the neglected State Route 347.
The resident highlighted Seaman’s pragmatic approach and ability to work across party lines. His actions, such as securing vital funding for veterans in Pinal County, were praised during a candidate debate on the state budget. “That’s the pragmatic leadership we need,” the resident stated, reflecting a desire for effective governance amid political polarization.
Another key issue brought up was the respect for personal freedoms. The resident noted concern regarding the incumbent Republican’s support of restrictive measures, contrasting it with Seaman’s advocacy for women’s rights. “Rep. Seaman fought to protect women’s ability to make their own decisions,” the resident emphasized, linking this issue directly to the broader concept of freedom.
Education also remains a pivotal topic in this election cycle. Seaman’s extensive background as a teacher and school administrator sets him apart from other candidates who support diverting public funds to private schools. The resident expressed confidence in Seaman’s dedication to improving public education, stating, “He’s the only teacher in this race, and he does right by our students.”
While acknowledging differences in opinion on various issues, the resident reaffirmed trust in Seaman’s intentions. “You don’t spend more than 40 years in Arizona schools for the pay,” they highlighted, reinforcing the belief that Seaman is genuinely invested in the community’s well-being. “Rep. Seaman is the right guy for the job,” the resident concluded.
These sentiments underscore a growing optimism among constituents about Seaman’s potential to effectively serve their interests in the state legislature.
