(he, him, his) Nick Arnold is a Phoenix native who has been a Tusconan since 2012 when he began his undergraduate education. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering (minors in Math and Environmental Studies) and a Master of Public Policy with an emphasis on Environmental Policy, both from the University of Arizona. Nick pursued his engineering degree with the initial intent to innovate in the alternative/clean energy sector, but his interests shifted as he learned that what we need for clean energy transition is policy innovation more than technological innovation. Nick was first set on his path to electoral organizing when he met now-State Representative Kirsten Engel through the University of Arizona's Students for Sustainability where he helped organize students for state energy policy advocacy and later interned for her successful 2016 campaign. He also served as Campaign Manager for Rep. Engel's first re-election campaign in 2018 and is now working as Campaign Manager for her candidacy for the State Senate as well as running Rep. Domingo DeGrazia's first re-election campaign. Nick is passionate about clean energy transition with an emphasis on environmental justice, focusing on state energy policy through the Legislature and Corporation Commission policy venues. Nick is a member of the Arizona Democratic Party Environmental Council and a volunteer for the Sierra Club and LD10 Democrats.
