Sarah James (she, her, hers)
Sarah James is an educator of 23 years, a proud member of the Education Association, and a Governing Board member in the Tempe Union High School District. She is married with two children who often help her with all things political! Sarah graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelors and master’s degree in music education and has been teaching in the public schools ever since. After teaching in Brooklyn for eight years, her family came back home to AZ to be closer to family. Living in a red state again reignited Sarah's passion to get involved and be part of the change. As an elected Precinct Committee Person for LD 18 Democrats, Sarah has worked on campaigns and initiatives, including the No on 305 campaign and the Invest in Education campaign. In 2020 Sarah ran for the Tempe Union High School Governing board, winning a seat in November 2020. She is dedicated to equity work, reforming discipline in our schools, and ensuring curriculum is representative of all our students.
