ABOUT HVA

Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) is an all volunteer, non-partisan organization that supports candidates who care about animals and animal protection. Electing those candidates is the most crucial step in enacting animal protection laws. Because of their charitable status with the IRS, other animal protection groups are prohibited from endorsing candidates. HVA is the only statewide animal protection organization permitted to participate in candidate campaigns. Humane Voters of Arizona participates in:

  1. Endorsement of animal protection candidates based on legislative report cards on incumbents questionnaire responses from candidates which are posted on this site.
  2. Fundraising: HVA has changed its status from an exempt to non-exempt political committee. That means HVA can now raise money, and donate to animal friendly candidates and independent expenditure campaigns.
  3. Grassroots candidate support: Arizona has a strong base of passionate, committed and talented volunteers who have shown their political acumen and commitment by consistently winning animal protection battles for citizens' initiatives. Circulating petitions and working at polls on election day translate to important support for HVA endorsed candidates. Our new grassroots program is underway. Please contact us if you'd like to volunteer.
  4. Training: HVA helps train the animal protection community and volunteers on how to participate in political campaigns and recruit animal friendly candidates. Thanks to Arizona's Clean Elections Law, there are more opportunities for new candidates to succeed even if they are not connected to political insiders and lobbyists.
