Gabriella Cázares-Kelly

Gabriella, a lifelong Arizona resident, is seeking re-election as Pima County Recorder. Since 2021, she has held the position overseeing Voter Registration and Early Voting for over 630,000 registered voters and managing the preservation of more than 9 million public documents. As a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation, Gabriella's background as a former educator led her to run for office to address systemic barriers faced by Native American students in the voter registration process.

Additionally, she is a co-founder of Indivisible Tohono, a grassroots organization promoting education and civic engagement within her tribe. Gabriella made history as the first Native American to hold a countywide elected seat in Pima County, emphasizing her commitment to voting rights and equity. She holds a B.A. in English Education from the University of Arizona and an M.Ed. in Education Leadership from Northern Arizona University. Gabriella resides in Tucson with her husband and two adult children, and in her free time, she enjoys activities such as writing, drawing, and embracing her interests as a Trekkie, Xennial, and Indigenous politician.
