Rosemary Arthur, a medical billing specialist at Planned Parenthood, ran for an open seat on the Glendale Elementary School Governing Board and won. This was her first run for public office. We recruited Rosemary through our partnership with the Arizona Education Association, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Progressive Leadership. One of the reasons Rosemary ran, is to guarantee medically-accurate sex education in Glendale's schools, a program that is threatened by a growing conservative bloc in the city.
